How to get the local player in a module script

#21

administratorSaves is actually a folder sorry for not stating that

#22

In that case:

local AdministratorSaves = Instance.new("Folder")
AdministratorSaves["Name"] = "AdministratorSaves"
AdministratorSaves["Parent"] = LocalPlayer["PlayerGui"]

Question.
why are you using Instance["property/instance"] (I know it wont give errors its same as normal way, just curious)
instead of using Instance.property?

It feels alot more cleaner to me that way. Better Readability.

Hey could you help me with this??

Button["MouseButton1Click"]:Connect(function()
    Home(LocalPlayer)
    LocalPlayer["PlayerGui"]["AdministratorPanel"]:WaitForChild("PlrBanVal").Changed:Connect(function()
        game.StarterGui.AdministratorPanel.Gui.Panel.OPFrame.HomeFrame.ScrollingFrame.PlrsBanned.Count.Text = LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.AdministratorPanel:WaitForChild("PlrBanVal")
    end)

    game.StarterGui.AdministratorPanel.Gui.Panel.OPFrame.HomeFrame.ScrollingFrame.PlrsBanned.Count.Text = LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.AdministratorPanel:WaitForChild("PlrBanVal")
end)

I want the count text to change with the value and it gives this error

 PlrBanVal  -  Client - Home:3
  Infinite yield possible on 'Players.Paysallday44.PlayerGui.AdministratorPanel:WaitForChild("PlrBanVal")'  -  Studio
 Stack Begin  -  Studio
  Script 'Players.Paysallday44.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.LocalScript', Line 10  -  Studio - LocalScript:10
  Stack End  -  Studio

Oh… this one is simple.

So, instead of this:

We can do something like:

PlrBanVal["Changed"]:Connect(function(NewValue)
	Count["Text"] = NewValue
end)

Also, try to save the value, you’re saving, in datastores, it’s much more efficient but just for this demo, ill make a simple int value and assign the value to it every time the button is pressed.

Here:

ModuleScript

return function(Player)
	local Button = Player["PlayerGui"]:WaitForChild("AdministratorSaves")["PlrBanVal"]
	Button["Value"] = Button["Value"] + 1
end

LocalScript

local StarterGUI	= game:GetService("StarterGui")
local Players		= game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer	= Players["LocalPlayer"]

local Home			= require(StarterGUI["AdministratorPanel"]["Scripts"]["Modules"]["Home"])

local Button		= script["Parent"]

local Folder		= Instance.new("Folder")
Folder["Name"]		= "AdministratorSaves"
Folder["Parent"]	= LocalPlayer["PlayerGui"]

local IntValue		= Instance.new("IntValue") -- creating a intvalue to save your counts
IntValue["Name"]	= "PlrBanVal"
IntValue["Value"]	= 0 -- this is a client only, use server-sided value assigning methods if this is for an admin panel
IntValue["Parent"]	= Folder

--[[
		I did a rough/messy job of assigning objects, so try to do it in a more clean manner if you like.
--]]
local PlayerGUI		= LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local Panel			= PlayerGUI["AdministratorPanel"]["Gui"]["Panel"]
local HomeFrame		= Panel["OPFrame"]["HomeFrame"]
local Count			= HomeFrame["ScrollingFrame"]["PlrsBanned"]["Count"]

-- again, this is client sided, not a good way to use it in a admin panel but here
IntValue["Changed"]:Connect(function(NewValue)
	Count["Text"] = NewValue
end)

Button["MouseButton1Click"]:Connect(function()
	Home(LocalPlayer)
end)

Edit: Added some Explanation. (it still lacks a lot of explanation because I am bad at, well, explaining.)
