Small issue with the Client's Username on my Announcement system

[TomOMG25 (ImperialMajesty)]

Hello everyone, my name is Tom. I am in-need of help for a specific line of code in my announcement system.

Disclaimer: Please note that I am not a scripter. Although, I acquire some knowledge. This post may be confusing. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

This is the current state of the Announcement UI in the ‘StarterGui’:

This is the design of the Announcement System:

The announcement is accessed by 2 ways:

1. People that are added on the ‘Admin list’ can access it.
2. By Group: people with a specific Group rank and above can access it.

The issue that I am trying to fix has to do with the ‘PlayerName’ TextLabel found in:

StarterGui > AnnouncementGui > AnnouncementFrame > PlayerName

Explanation: Whenever a person with access sends an announcement (either by them being added on the Admin List or having the Minimum Allowed group rank or above). The ‘AnnouncementFrame’ will show up with their Headshot, Username & Text for a specific duration (set by them).

The issue is that instead of showing the Player’s name that sent that announcement. It will show the Local Player’s name that is viewing that announcement.

Example: A player named ‘ROBLOX’ sends an announcement. Instead of showing “Announcement from ROBLOX”, it will show “Announcement from TomOMG25” (which is ME viewing the specific announcement).

The script can be found below:

AnnouncementCore local script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local client = Players.LocalPlayer

local event1 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EnableAnnouncementSystem")
local event2 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DisplayAnnouncement")
local event3 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerError")

local filterStringFunction = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FilterStringFunction")

local frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame")
local closeButton = frame:WaitForChild("CloseButton")
local postButton = frame:WaitForChild("EnterButton")
local inputBox = frame:WaitForChild("InputBox")
local tinputbox = frame:WaitForChild("TimeInputBox")
local title = frame:WaitForChild("Title")

local aframe = script.Parent:WaitForChild("AnnouncementFrame")
local loadbar = aframe:WaitForChild("LoadBar")
local announcement = aframe:WaitForChild("Announcement")
local PlayerImage = aframe:WaitForChild("PlayerImage")
local PlayerName = aframe:WaitForChild("PlayerName")

local function postButtonClicked()
	if inputBox.Text == "" and tinputbox.Text == "" then
		event3:FireServer("Type an announcement and a duration.")
		wait(1) -- Wait for 1 second before changing the title
		frame.Title.Text = "Announcements" -- Ensure this correctly references the Title object
		return
	end

	if inputBox.Text == "" and tinputbox.Text ~= "" then
		event3:FireServer("Type an announcement.")
		wait(1)
		frame.Title.Text = "Announcements"
		return
	end

	if tinputbox.Text == "" and inputBox.Text ~= "" then
		event3:FireServer("Type a duration.")
		wait(1)
		frame.Title.Text = "Announcements"
		return
	end

	-- Filtering the input message for moderation
	local input = inputBox.Text
	local result, wasFiltered = filterStringFunction:InvokeServer(input)
	if wasFiltered == false then
		event2:FireServer(result, tinputbox.Text)
	else
		local Filtered = "(Server Message has been Moderated!)"
		event2:FireServer(Filtered, tinputbox.Text)
	end
end



event3.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message)
	title.Text = message
end)

local function closeButtonClick()
	frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-1, 0, 0.4, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 0.6)
end

event1.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.2, 0, 0.4, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 1)
end)

event2.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message, duration, thumbnail_id)
	local ClientDisplayName = client.DisplayName -- Get the local player's display name
	local ClientUserName = client.Name -- Get the local player's username

	PlayerName.Text = "Announcement from " .. ClientUserName
	announcement.Text = message -- The actual announcement text
	PlayerImage.Image = thumbnail_id -- Display the user's profile picture

	script.Sound:Play()
	aframe:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.1, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 1, true)
	loadbar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0.2, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 1, true)
	task.wait(1)
	loadbar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.2, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, math.clamp(duration - 1, 1, math.huge), true)
	task.wait(math.clamp(duration - 1, 1, math.huge))
	aframe:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -1, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 1, true)
	task.wait(1)
end)

closeButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(closeButtonClick)
closeButton.TouchTap:Connect(closeButtonClick)

postButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(postButtonClicked)
postButton.TouchTap:Connect(postButtonClicked)

Any help is really appreciated! Thank you for reading!

@TomOMG25

event2.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message, duration, thumbnail_id)	
    local ClientDisplayName = client.DisplayName -- Get the local player's display name	
    local ClientUserName = client.Name -- Get the local player's username

You are accessing the client variable here, which is set to the local player, so it would make sense that it is showing the local player’s name.

You should instead pass the announcing player through the client event (:FireClient()).
