So I have a system where players can send suggestions to a discord bot in my server. But the text does not seem to be working... Here is my local script in the GUI button:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local msg = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
if msg.Text == "" or msg.Text == " " then
script.Parent.Text = "Your suggestion cannot be empty!"
wait(3)
script.Parent.Text = "Submit"
else
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remotes"):WaitForChild("SendSuggestion"):FireServer(plr)
script.Parent.Text = "Suggestion sent successfully!"
wait(3)
script.Parent.Text = "Submit"
end
end)
And here is the server script in ServerScriptService:
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remotes"):WaitForChild("SendSuggestion").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
local msg = plr.PlayerGui.Suggest.Suggest.TextBox
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Data = {
["content"] = plr.Name.." suggested: "..tostring(msg.Text)
}
Data = http:JSONEncode(Data)
http:PostAsync("pro tip don't post your webhook url publicly", Data)
end)
And all it sends is: PrismaticFruits suggested: and nothing else. I even tried removing the name part of it to just tostring(msg.Text) and that is when the error occurred. I also tried using msg as an argument but it still didn't work, that errored: Text is not a valid member of player.. So could someone point out what is wrong?

You're trying to get the text of a textbox on the server. You need to do it on the client and send it to the server via remotes. Also don't post your webhook urls publicly
i Tried sending an argument to the server of the text but it still didn't work.
^ What error does it give? What happens?
Nothing happens. It sends the message to discord, but as nothing. It just says the bot then no message.
If you print content before posting it, does it print what it's supposed to? Btw, if you're using discord directly, you might want to use a proxy, like https://discord.osyr.is
Nvm, osyris isnt maintaining that anymore, try finding another one
It prints nothing.
