its because you aren’t specifying what the script should print. For example:
print(TextButton.Name)

But you aren’t telling what the script should print

I dont understand what you mean. I try to print just the Instance (it will print the adress of the object inside the memory)

I dont understand why you gave me this script. This script will just shove all the children of the gembuttons folder (all the textbuttons) inside the players inventory. I need only the textbutton with the name that got sent by the client.

try print GemsButtons_Folder

if it doesn’t print nil replace line 68 with:

local TextButton = GemsButtons_Folder:WaitForChild(textbutton)

oh I figured out the issue you are moving the textbutton when the remote event is fired.

Do this line in the remote event:

textbutton.Parent = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("InventoryScreenGui"):WaitForChild("InventoryFrame").ScrollingFrame

If I put the line of code in the server, it infinite yields

local TextButton = GemsButtons_Folder:WaitForChild(textbutton)

In the remote event you are doing this:

textbutton.Parent = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("InventoryScreenGui"):WaitForChild("InventoryFrame").ScrollingFrame

Remove this line and put it in the remote event at the end
