TextButton in Workspace

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi,

I have a textbutton in the workspace which when a player clicks I want to fire a remote event to the client to remove a part for a single player.

I have it working if I put in a player added but can’t figure out how to get it working when a player clicks the button.

I am getting the error “FireClient: player argument must be a Player object” from the sever script.

Thanks

Could you maybe provide the script? It’s kind of difficult to give feedback if we can’t see what the code looks like.

#3

Are you using a LocalScript or a ServerScript?

Also, FireClient must have the player object.

#4

Assuming it’s in a script with the parent being the TextButton:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    [YOUR CODE HERE]
end)

The issue here is that you can’t reference the Player that clicked the button if this inside is a SurfaceGui object

Your only option(s) is to either use a ProximityPrompt, or a ClickDetector object in order to reference it that way

#6

You must be trying to fire the client but it needs to be a player

local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

-- if the first variable isn't a player you will get an error
RemoteEvent:FireClient(player, var1, var2)
