How to get players name from textbutton

aezpheria · June 12, 2021, 2:07pm

I was making a training panel where it says on a GUI the host / co-hosts name after pressing a button, I’ve tried many ways and I don’t know what to do next, any suggestions would be appreciated.

script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Host.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plra)
	script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text = "Session Host: " .. plr.Name
	if script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text == "Session Co-Host: " .. plr.Name then
		warn("You cannot have multiple roles inside a training session #Error 12 ~ Rejoin if you want a different role.")
		script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text = "Session Host: "
	elseif script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text == "Session Host: " .. plr.Name  then
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Host.Visible = false
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.C_Host.Text = script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text
		
	end
	
	
end)


script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Co_Host.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plre)
	script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text = "Session Co-Host: " .. plr.Name
	if script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text == "Session Host: " .. plr.Name then
		warn("You cannot have multiple roles inside a training session #Error 12 ~ Rejoin if you want a different role.")
		script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text = "Session Co-Host: "
	elseif script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text == "Session Co-Host: " .. plr.Name then
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Co_Host.Visible = false
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.C_Host.Text = script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text
	
	end
end)

Testing that now! [30 chazrrrrrr]

FrazedGreatness2 · June 12, 2021, 2:22pm

ignore that do this:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Host.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text = "Session Host: " .. plr.Name
	if script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text == "Session Co-Host: " .. plr.Name then
		warn("You cannot have multiple roles inside a training session #Error 12 ~ Rejoin if you want a different role.")
		script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text = "Session Host: "
	elseif script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text == "Session Host: " .. plr.Name  then
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Host.Visible = false
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.C_Host.Text = script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text
		
	end
	
	
end)


script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Co_Host.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text = "Session Co-Host: " .. plr.Name
	if script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text == "Session Host: " .. plr.Name then
		warn("You cannot have multiple roles inside a training session #Error 12 ~ Rejoin if you want a different role.")
		script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text = "Session Co-Host: "
	elseif script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text == "Session Co-Host: " .. plr.Name then
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Co_Host.Visible = false
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.C_Host.Text = script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text
	
	end
end)

aezpheria · June 12, 2021, 2:23pm

I have that already, haha, and it just says the local players name instead of my name.

Here’s the full script. ^^

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.username.Text = plr.Name
script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.rank.Text = plr:GetRoleInGroup(8176838)

script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Host.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
	script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text = "Session Host: " .. plr.Name
	if script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text == "Session Co-Host: " .. plr.Name then
		warn("You cannot have multiple roles inside a training session #Error 12 ~ Rejoin if you want a different role.")
		script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text = "Session Host: "
	elseif script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text == "Session Host: " .. plr.Name  then
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Host.Visible = false
		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.C_Host.Text = script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text
		
	end
	
	
end)


script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Co_Host.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
	script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text = "Session Co-Host: " .. plr.Name

		script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.C_Host.Text = script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text
	
	end
end)

-- security + opening of the UI

if plr:GetRankInGroup(8176838) >= 50 then
	script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Close_B.Visible = false
	script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Open_B.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

Show me that text it shows

FrazedGreatness2 · June 12, 2021, 2:24pm

Do not add the plr params it will still show the players name

FrazedGreatness2 · June 12, 2021, 2:24pm

It is in the players client so it will work

aezpheria · June 12, 2021, 2:25pm

Example please, that would be really helpful. I’m having a hard time understanding your answer

WHat is the problem here?

aezpheria · June 12, 2021, 2:28pm

For them, it’s saying their name instead of mine.

You are supposed to press the textbutton then when it’s pressed it displays the pressers name.

Presser = person who clicked the textbutton

FrazedGreatness2 · June 12, 2021, 2:29pm

THen use the serevr to do it like this:

--localscript fire it in your button event
event:FireServer(gui.Text)

--serverscript
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,text)
    text = player.Name
end)

aezpheria · June 12, 2021, 2:29pm

Alright, thank you.

FrazedGreatness2 · June 12, 2021, 2:34pm

Add your textbuttons text XD

aezpheria · June 12, 2021, 2:40pm

Still doesn’t work, revolved to a different method that is saying an argument is missing.

local pla = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Host.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text = "Session Host: " .. game.Players:FindFirstChild(pla)
end)

thekiler_king · June 12, 2021, 3:15pm

Hm, If you want other people to see your name you have to use a script, not a local script because it does only show for the one who has the GUI.
Another method you can use which is more complicated is two make 2 local scripts in the GUI and 1 script in workspace or ServerScriptService using remote functions would work
but its not not recommend.

Your problem can be solved by the use of a LocalScript, a ServerScript, and two RemoteEvents. When a client clicks the button, they will fire the “send” RemoteEvent. When the server picks up that event, the server will then fire the “receive” RemoteEvent to every client in the game, sending them the text that should update your title.

LocalScript (you’ll need two RemoteEvents in ReplicatedStorage, one named “SendEvent” and the other named “ReceiveEvent”. You’ll also need to replace the comments with the actual path to both your “title” object and your “button” object):

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local title = --Path to your title
local button = --Path to your button
local sendEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SendEvent")
local receiveEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ReceiveEvent")

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    sendEvent:FireServer()
end)

receiveEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(text)
    title.Text = text
end)

ServerScript:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

ReplicatedStorage.SendEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    ReplicatedStorage.ReceiveEvent:FireAllClients("Session Host: " .. player.Name)
end)

aezpheria · June 12, 2021, 4:52pm

This appears for the error, for the co-host one and when I press the host it does nothing

Here’s what I’ve got in Replicated Storage + Scripts.

RS:

Server Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

ReplicatedStorage.T_Remotes.Host_Remotes.SendEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	ReplicatedStorage.ReceiveEvent:FireAllClients("Session Host: " .. player.Name)
end)

ReplicatedStorage.T_Remotes.Co_Remotes.SendEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	ReplicatedStorage.ReceiveEvent:FireAllClients("Session Co-Host: " .. player.Name)
end)

Local Script:

-- host
script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Host.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.T_Remotes.Host_Remotes.Send:FireServer()
	wait(0.1)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.T_Remotes.Host_Remotes.Receive.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(text)
		script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Host.Text = text
	end)
end)

-- cohost
script.Parent.PanelMain.Session_Frame.Gray_Frame.Co_Host.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.T_Remotes.Co_Remotes.Send:FireServer()
	wait(0.1)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.T_Remotes.Co_Remotes.Receive.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(text)
		script.Parent.LeftTopPanel.Title.Cohost.Text = text
	end)
end)
