Need help with GUIs (Text Boxes)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have been making a destination board for a bus. When the player sits in the drivers seat, a GUI pops up which allows the player to edit the route number and destination on the destination board using a text box in the PlayerGui. Once the player has finished entering the route number and destination, they hit a text button which is meant to apply the text the player has entered in the text box onto the destination board on the bus.

The issue is that when the player hits the button to apply the text they’ve entered onto the destination board, the destination board is updated only for the driver

To fix this I added a remote event to the destination board so the board would be updated, however this presented another issue. When I hit the button to update the board, the board would stay blank and wouldn’t show the updated text. I believe this is because the server doesn’t recognise that the text in the PlayerGui has been updated

This is the Destination Board in the Explorer

This is what happens when I try updating the board on the bus:

This is the code for the Gui:

local car = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Car.Value
local board = car.Body.DestinationAndRoute

script.Parent.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Route:ReleaseFocus()
	script.Parent.Destination:ReleaseFocus()
	script.Parent.TextButton.Text = 'Applying Changes...'
	script.Parent.Configuration.Destination.Value = script.Parent.Destination.Text
	print(script.Parent.Configuration.Destination.Value)
	script.Parent.Configuration.Route.Value = script.Parent.Route.Text
	print(script.Parent.Configuration.Route.Value)
	wait(3)
	board.UpdateBoard:FireServer()
	script.Parent.TextButton.Text = 'Board Updated'
	wait(1)
	script.Parent.TextButton.Text = 'Apply'
end)

This is the script for the remote event

board = script.Parent
script.Parent.UpdateBoard.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local gui = player.PlayerGui['A-Chassis Interface'].BusControls.DestinationBoard
	wait(2)
	print(gui.Configuration.Route.Value)
	board.DestinationBoard.Screen.SurfaceGui.RouteNumber.Text = gui.Configuration.Route.Value
	board.DestinationBoardTwo.Screen.SurfaceGui.RouteNumber.Text = gui.Configuration.Route.Value
	board.Route.Screen.SurfaceGui.Route.Text = gui.Configuration.Route.Value
	print(gui.Configuration.Destination.Value)
	board.DestinationBoard.Screen.SurfaceGui.Destination.Text = gui.Configuration.Destination.Value
	board.DestinationBoardTwo.Screen.SurfaceGui.Destination.Text = gui.Configuration.Destination.Value
end)

In local script you updated Destination value, but it doesn’t replicate to server, so only client sees this value (line 8)

localscript:

local car = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Car.Value
local board = car.Body.DestinationAndRoute

script.Parent.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Route:ReleaseFocus()
	script.Parent.Destination:ReleaseFocus()
	script.Parent.TextButton.Text = 'Applying Changes...'
	local destination = script.Parent.Destination.Text
	local route = script.Parent.Route.Text
	wait(3)
	board.UpdateBoard:FireServer(destination, route)
	script.Parent.TextButton.Text = 'Board Updated'
	wait(1)
	script.Parent.TextButton.Text = 'Apply'
end)

and script:

board = script.Parent
script.Parent.UpdateBoard.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,destination,route)
	local gui = player.PlayerGui['A-Chassis Interface'].BusControls.DestinationBoard
	wait(2)
	board.DestinationBoard.Screen.SurfaceGui.RouteNumber.Text = route
	board.DestinationBoardTwo.Screen.SurfaceGui.RouteNumber.Text = route
	board.Route.Screen.SurfaceGui.Route.Text = route
	board.DestinationBoard.Screen.SurfaceGui.Destination.Text = destination
	board.DestinationBoardTwo.Screen.SurfaceGui.Destination.Text = destination
end)

Thank you for replying. I used that code and it seems to have fixed my problem. Thanks!
