You are defining the player and the amount before they are pressing the button, so it will be nil, you should update the value when they press the button like this:


 script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local player = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text

local amount = tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.Amount.Text)
 print(player)

 print(amount)
end)

It’s because you aren’t updating the amount variable. Set the amount in the event.

You need to define the variables within the function for them to be accurate.

local Button = script.Parent

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local Player = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
	local Amount = tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.Amount.Text)
	
	print(Player)
	print(Amount)
end)
