Sending TextBox.Text to server via RemoteEvent not working

And it literally prints nothing? Like actually nothing?

#44

Oh ryt, I overlooked that, but its a simple fix @greendayshade just add in a player parameter and then call the function with the player variable from the .OnServerEvent

#45

Yeah… I tried both yours and @Mystxry12 's scripts. The local script prints the text just fine so I think it’s having trouble sending the text over? Maybe I’ll try defining the path of TextBox instead of using a variable.

edit: actually nevermind I remembered what @Mystxry12 said about my path to the textbox, lol.

#46

Is the value not printing on the server?

#47

Yeah, client is just fine but the server is completely refusing to output anything.

#48

Where exactly is your ServerScript in the Explorer?

#49

ServerScriptService. Should it not be there?

#50

this happened to me alot of time ago, you should try to save the value as a variable and then send it

#51

Its good there, I was wondering if the script was inactive. I assume its enabled and printing right under creating the remoteEvent works?

#52

Can you show me what your client and server script looks like right now, it seems there has been a lot of confusion in this discussion.

Of course. I should’ve done that a long time ago, my apologies. It could be that I created some sort of script conflict perhaps?
LOCAL SCRIPT

local TextButton3 = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local GetNumberService = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("LotteryNumberService")
local TextBox = Players.ChatBox1.Frame.TextBox

TextBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	TextBox.Text = TextBox.Text:gsub('%D+', '');
	TextBox.Text = TextBox.Text:sub(1,3);
end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local playerNumber = TextBox.Text
	GetNumberService:FireServer(playerNumber)
	print(playerNumber)
end)

SERVER SCRIPT

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local numberService = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("LotteryNumberService")
local LotteryCard = game:GetService("Lighting").LotteryCard -- this line is for later don't bother with it
local sendNumbertoServer = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
sendNumbertoServer.Name = "LotteryNumberService"
sendNumbertoServer.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

local function onButtonPress(player, text)
	local playerNumber = tonumber(text)
	if typeof(playerNumber) == "number" then 
		if playerNumber >= 0 and playerNumber <= 100 then
			--sendNumbertoServer:FireServer(playerNumber) [[ -- i'm pretty sure this shouldn't be here but i'm unsure on how to make the script fire when it's not inside the local script-- ]]
			print(playerNumber)
		end
	end
end

sendNumbertoServer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)
	print(player.Name, text)
	onButtonPress(player, text)
end)

You are trying to look for the RemoteEvent without it being created yet?
This yields?

Question, is LotteryNumberService in ReplicatedStorage before play testing?

#56

Used to. I just created a RemoteEvent manually and that fixed the issue. Should I omit the Instance.new if that’s the case?

Yes, it is.

#59

Yes, if you create it manually, you dont need to create another one by script

#60

So I don’t need to use this?

local sendNumbertoServer = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
sendNumbertoServer.Name = "LotteryNumberService"
sendNumbertoServer.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

and instead use the numberService variable above that’s waiting for the RemoteEvent?

Yes, if you have 2 remote events it won’t know which one to choose
so you remove this as you said:

Oh my god. I’m actually just stupid. The line where I defined the LotteryCard made the script error and therefore didn’t even run it since I haven’t made it yet. I’m so sorry for wasting everyone’s time. Thank you everyone for your answers. Have a good day.
