Script Registering textbox as empty

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello! So I’m trying to make a Moderation Panel where I can Kick, Ban, Temp Ban, and do announcements. I’m currently working on the Kick option but when I press the button it says the text box is empty.

Clearly not empty

Code:


local Main = script.Parent

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

--// INFO \\--

local BanDuration = Main.BanDuration.Text
local Reason = Main.Kick_BanReason.Text
local Message = Main.Message.Text
local PlayerName = Main.PlayerName.Text

--// MODERATION \\--

local RemotesFolder = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remotes.ModPannel

local ModButtons = Main.ModButtons

ModButtons.Kick.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	--print("Test")
	
	print(Reason, PlayerName)
	
	RemotesFolder.Kick:FireServer(Player.UserId, Reason, PlayerName)
	
end)

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help!

That is because “Reason” variable is never updated after the script runs. The fix is simple, just put the reason variable inside of the click function,

ModButtons.Kick.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	--print("Test")
	local Reason = Main.Kick_BanReason.Text
	print(Reason, PlayerName)
	
	RemotesFolder.Kick:FireServer(Player.UserId, Reason, PlayerName)
	
end)

When you declare the “Reason” variable, you are declaring how it is when the game starts. When the game starts, the text is empty. A fix would be to declare the reason as “Main.Kick_BanReason”.

Then when you print the reason:

print(Reason.Text, PlayerName)

print the “reason.text”, which will print what is in the text box at the time of clicking the kick button.

I did something similar to that:

ModButtons.Kick.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	--print("Test")
	Reason = Main.Kick_BanReason.Text
	PlayerName = Main.PlayerName.Text
	print(Reason, PlayerName)
	
	RemotesFolder.Kick:FireServer(Player.UserId, Reason, PlayerName)
	
end)

I did this instead because I will need to use those Textboxes for the Ban, Temp ban and Local Announce as well.

Thank you very much!!
