How to pass info from a GUI button to the server?

[NinjaMinion101 (Sven)]

Goal
There are 6 GUI buttons. I want to have one RemoteEvent fired to the server when a player clicks on one of the 6 buttons, in order to create a ServerEvent when one of the 6 buttons is clicked.

Issue
Passing on information using the script below has not worked for me. I know why.
Button.Name cannot be accessed by the server.

Localscript:

for _, Button in pairs(ButtonGroup) do
	
	Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		local ButtonName = Button.Name
		print(ButtonName)
		ChosenRemote:FireServer(Player, ButtonName)
		print("Sent")
	end)
	
end

Topic Question / Alternative?
Is there another way for the server to know which button is clicked by the player?
In the past I used 6 different remotes, but I feel like using one remote is better.

Other tried solutions
I came across a few posts on the forum that had a similar question, however, these did not answer my question. I have tried several hours to make this work.

The server in your case should receive the buttonname as a String, you don’t send a reference to an object.

--Serverside
ChosenRemote.onServerEvent:Connect(function(player, ButtonName)
   print(ButtonName) 
end)

should definitely print your Button Name.

Did you make sure your ServerScript can actually execute? Does the Server actually receive the event?

Screenshot of Output

The button is indeed called “Daisy” in this particular case. So that’s correct. The server seems to print my playername again, which is strange.

EDIT : added the ServerScript

ServerScript

ChosenRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, ButtonName)

print(player)

print(ButtonName)

end)

Actually your problem might be that you reveive the player as paremeter 2 times.
Like:

ChosenRemote.onServerEvent:Connect(function(player, player, ButtonName)

Cause when you send an Event, your client Player is always the first paremeter, you don’t need to send it yourself.

Change it to that:

for _, Button in pairs(ButtonGroup) do
	
	Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		local ButtonName = Button.Name
		print(ButtonName)
		ChosenRemote:FireServer(ButtonName)
		print("Sent")
	end)
	
end

(Just removed the player as Paremeter)

That did the job! Thanks for your time!
