Making my first game (Soccer game)

The localscript currently contains this code.

local textbutton = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextButton
textbutton.Activated:Connect(function()
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.Team = game.Teams.Red
       print("Firing")
end)

Also ignore the frame

Alright, the problem.

Your getting the button from the StarterGui.
When the player joins, the GUI get’s cloned into their PlayerGUI.

Instead of the first line, do it like:

local textbutton = script.Parent.TextButton
textbutton.Activated:Connect(function()
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.Team = game.Teams.Red
       print("Firing")
end)

Quoted from GuiButton | Roblox Creator Documentation

MouseButton1Down(x: number, y: number): RBXScriptSignal
Fired when the mouse is in the left mouse down state on the GUI object.

However, for .Activated:

Activated(inputObject: InputObject, clickCount: number): RBXScriptSignal
Fires when the button is activated.

.Activated is a multi-platform event.

Thank you so much!

It works now. But I don’t understand why it works.

Why did it just work when you changed the variable reference?

MouseButton1Down still works for mobile devices that you mentioned that don’t work.

A lot of game’s function with MouseButton1Down, and not Activated.

Alright, so.

The StarterGUI is where you, store GUIs, that the player get’s.
The GUI’s from StarterGUI get cloned into “PlayerGUI” which is inside of the local player.

Check this out,
StarterGUI doc refrence

[Caulitcal]

local textbutton = script.Parent.TextButton
textbutton.Activated:Connect(function()
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.Team = game.Teams.Red
       print("Firing")
end

So, basically the screengui gets cloned into the playerGUI and then using that to get the textbutton instead of directly referencing it.
