Trying to get textbox text using server script and remote event. not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

hi. I am getting desperate. I’m just throwing words around in the script and I have no idea what I’m doing anymore. I keep getting warnings that say "Text is not a valid member of Player “Players.ROSKAA123"” like WDYM I NEVER TOLD U TO GET TEXT FROM PLAYERS???

so, what exactly is the problem here? and how do i fix it???

Local script =

game.Workspace:WaitForChild("USICPLAYER")
game.Workspace.USICPLAYER:WaitForChild("SOURCE")

local nuts = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox

local Song = game.Workspace.USICPLAYER.SOURCE.Sound

local remEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Depression





	Song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..nuts.Text
	
nuts:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	remEvent:FireServer(nuts.Text)



	end)

Server script:

game.Workspace:WaitForChild("USICPLAYER")
game.Workspace.USICPLAYER:WaitForChild("SOURCE")

local nuts = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
local hi = game.Workspace.USICPLAYER
local Song = game.Workspace.USICPLAYER.SOURCE.Sound
local remEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Depression

Song.Playing = true

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	
	remEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(nuts,Text)
		Song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..nuts.Text
		
	
	
	Song:Play()
		
	end)
	end)

Im sorry if there’s somethinmg really weird going on im so tired and i just want to get done with this.

Change the server script to this:

game.Workspace:WaitForChild("USICPLAYER")
game.Workspace.USICPLAYER:WaitForChild("SOURCE")

local nuts = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
local hi = game.Workspace.USICPLAYER
local Song = game.Workspace.USICPLAYER.SOURCE.Sound
local remEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Depression

Song.Playing = true

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	
	remEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, nuts, Text)
		Song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..nuts.Text
		
	
	
	Song:Play()
		
	end)
	end)

The 1st argument of OnServerEvent is the player who fired it on the clientside.

now its giving errors about "attempt to concatenate string with nil "

That’s because you’re sending a string and not the textbox object itself to the server script, so the line where you set the SoundId should look like this:

Song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..nuts
#5

this is wrong, since it is receiving signal from the player, it should be

remoEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)

and this is wrong since you are only sending one argument???

so your server script should be like this instead.

game.Workspace:WaitForChild("USICPLAYER")
game.Workspace.USICPLAYER:WaitForChild("SOURCE")

local nuts = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
local hi = game.Workspace.USICPLAYER
local Song = game.Workspace.USICPLAYER.SOURCE.Sound
local remEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Depression

Song.Playing = true

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	
	remEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(nuts)
		Song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..nuts
		
	
	
	Song:Play()
		
	end)
	end)

oh and also why are you handling the MouseButton1Click in the server script?
it should be:

Local script detects when player click → send remote to server → server receives it and then play the sounds

now the error is “attempt to concatenate string with Instance” for the 14th row

#7

i think because the code is organized wrong, you should do

local script:

local button = script.Parent -- your button
local textbox = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox -- your textbox
local remEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Depression

button.MouseButton1Clicked:Connect(function()
    remEvent:FireServer(textbox.Text)
end)

server:

local remEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Depression
remEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, id)
    song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..id
end)
#8

doesn’t work, gives "Failed to load sound rbxassetid://: Unable to download sound data (x2) "

#9

it works now! thank you so much!!! :grin:

local usic = workspace:WaitForChild("USICPLAYER")
local source = usic:WaitForChild("SOURCE")
local song = source:WaitForChild("Sound")
local nuts = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("TextBox")

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local re = rs:WaitForChild("remEvent")

nuts:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	if tonumber(nuts.Text) then
		local soundId = math.round(tonumber(nuts.Text))
		re:FireServer(soundId)
	end
end)

local usic = workspace:WaitForChild("USICPLAYER")
local source = usic:WaitForChild("SOURCE")
local song = source:WaitForChild("Sound")
local button = script.Parent

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local re = rs:WaitForChild("remEvent")

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	re.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)
		song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..text
		song:Play()
	end)
end)

You should probably be making sure that a valid ID has been inputted. Also why are you using a server script inside a ScreenGui?

#11 
local usic = workspace:WaitForChild("USICPLAYER")
local source = usic:WaitForChild("SOURCE")
local song = source:WaitForChild("Sound")
local nuts = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("TextBox")
local button = script.Parent --check this and other references are correct

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local re = rs:WaitForChild("remEvent")

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if tonumber(nuts.Text) then
		local soundId = math.round(tonumber(nuts.Text))
		re:FireServer(soundId)
	end
end)

local usic = workspace:WaitForChild("USICPLAYER")
local source = usic:WaitForChild("SOURCE")
local song = source:WaitForChild("Sound")

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local re = rs:WaitForChild("remEvent")

re.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)
	song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..text
	song:Play()
end)

Everything related to the Gui should be handled on the client-side in the single local script, all the server script should do is play the Sound instance. In this case I would move the server script to the ServerScriptService folder.
