Problem with my script that requires Server Client Communication

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello. I’m trying to make a changeable picture in a frame. How it works is that there is a GUI in the picture frame, and it gets cloned to the player GUI, and there is a TextBox, where you can input the ID and press submit.

PROBLEM:
When the GUI textbox makes changes, they’re only clientside, so the server wont see that. If i were to use a RemoteEvent and use :FireServer() event, how would I let the server know, which picture frame to change?

You can try this:
Only change the variables to their original objects.
And use a removeFunction.

LocalScript:

local textBox = script.Parent.TextBox
local image = script.Parent.ImageLabel
local remote = script.Parent.RemoteFunction
local oldId = nil
local bool = true
while wait() do
local id = tonumber(textBox.Text)
if bool and id and oldId ~= id then
bool = false
oldId = id
remote:InvokeServer(image, id)
bool = true
end
end

Script:

local remote = script.Parent.RemoteFunction
remote.OnServerInvoke = function(plr, image, id)
pcall(function()
image.Image = “rbxassetid://” … id
end)
end

You can’t pass instances through a remote event, so I don’t think passing the imageLabel like that would work.
What you’d probably need to do is to give each image label a unique ID.
Then pass the ID of the image label in the remote event.

Your server side code then find the label with this ID and can change it

Hope that helps,
