The answer to my earlier question didn't work?
I tried using the code from earlier to try and fix my problem, but it didn't work! Here are all the code snippets:
ServerScriptService script:
game.ReplicatedStorage.InfoInput.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
workspace.Board.SurfaceGui.Username.Text = player.PlayerGui.Gui.ScreenGui.Frame.Username.Text
end)
TextButton [Local] script:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("Clicked!")
local TextBox = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Username
game.ReplicatedStorage.InfoInput:FireServer(TextBox.Text)
end)
I have already asked someone for help and they said to make some changes to the TextButton script? I don't know if I'm being really dumb, or it just doesn't work.

I'm trying to make a surface gui textlabel's text the same as a text box's user input text when a button is pressed. theepicboy6789 56 — 4y

You can't fire server events from local script. Try firing FireClient instead. PrismaticFruits 842 — 4y

This is for the ServerScriptService Script
--ServerScriptService Script
game.ReplicatedStorage.InfoInput.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)
--The "text" variable is the TextLabel's text that the LocalScript is passing, and change
workspace.Board.SurfaceGui.Username.Text = text
end)
This is for the LocalScript
--LocalScript
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayers --Gets the player that the localscript is in
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("Clicked!")
--Gets the TextBox from the player's gui
local TextBox = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Username
--Sends the text to the Server via RemoteEvent
game.ReplicatedStorage.InfoInput:FireServer(TextBox.Text)
end)

The ServerScriptService script should say this:
game.ReplicatedStorage.InfoInput.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
workspace.Board.SurfaceGui.Username.Text =--Next line goes here game:GetService("StarterGui").Gui.ScreenGui.Frame.Username.Text
end)
If there are any errors let me know!
