I've tried to make this script many times but It never works! I don't know what is wrong with my code. Here it is:
local TextBox = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextBox
local TextButton = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextButton
TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function)
print(TextBox.Text)
end
you are modifying/accessing the StarterGui, everything thats inside the startergui gets cloned into the PlayerGui of a player. So if a player changes something then the changes happen in the PlayerGui not in the StarterGui. So you ll have to access the PlayerGui instead.
the PlayerGui is part of the player. like this Player.PlayerGui
see PlayerGui vs StarterGui
in this case that would be (localscript)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local TextButton = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton
You forgot to put a () at the end of :Connect(function() and you put it as StarterGui. I hope this helps
local TextBox = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextBox
local TextButton = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton
TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print(TextBox.Text)
end

Thats because youre accessing the starterGui, not the playerGui.
so textbox would look something like this: local TextBox = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextBox if this is a local script
