Textbox does not return the things written in them

VladPhonkie · October 22, 2022, 5:10pm

I’m trying to make a application centre where the application submitter would fill out a 3 question quiz and the answers on the quiz would be sent in a embed on a discord server for server admins to review… And uh… The textboxes don’t show the answers…

I’ll gladly give you acess to the game via team create… If you can help me please contact me on discord: VladPhonkie#3662

Message with just questions and no answers even though answers were given
How it looks from in-game

It appears that you are trying to use a server script to accomplish your quiz. You can do this, but you will need to do some edits.

Here’s how the workflow should be:

Player joins game and is asked questions and then responds to them accordingly.
The player should then press a submit, or similar button
The button will have code in a local script which sends a remote to the server containing their answers.
The server will receive the remote, and then send a request to your API.

If you are new to remote events and functions, you can read the documentation here: Remote Events and Functions | Roblox Creator Documentation

Heyo! I’ve just done a local script, mind telling me if this’ll do?



script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	
	local q1= script.Parent.Parent.Q1A
	local q2= script.Parent.Parent.Q2A
	local q3= script.Parent.Parent.Q3A
		
	RemEvent:FireServer(q1, q2, q3)
end)```

Script.Parent is the button)

Yes, that looks about right on the client. Don’t forget to get the .Text property of the text boxes, otherwise the server will receive nil, due to the UI being on the client. Example: local q1= script.Parent.Parent.Q1A.Text

Let me know how you make out.

Thank you a lot! You deserve a crown.

I think you are missing the point here. You cannot directly access the client through the server. The server should only contain the remote function code for sending the API request, and the client should tell the server the answers to the questions.

To put it simply, you need to move all code relating to the player’s UI into the local script. The server should only send the API request. Everything UI related should be handled on the client.

VladPhonkie · October 22, 2022, 6:23pm

I did understand the point, turns out I forgot about the client script on the text button, I’ve fixed it and it works perfectly fine. Sorry for the double trouble.
