First things first, you should be using local for your variables and functions e.g. local Box

Secondly, you will want to use a LocalScript inside the TextButton as it will be run by the client.

Finally, you can reference the Chatbox from the LocalScript itself by doing local Box = script.Parent.Parent.Chatbox
