How to get name of player when pressing a button for normal (not local) script??

Asked by

I’m trying to make a button that gets the name of a player who pressed a button and show it to everyone in the server, so it appears like “AngryPlaayer is hosting a sword fight!” Or something. Do i need to do something like script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player) or something like that? And then i know how to do everything else it sends the person who sent the client event’s name. Please tell me you guys understand what im saying lol

Why not run the clicked detection client side, then fire the server using remote events. The first parameter of a remote event (client -server) is the player. From there, if the message pops up via ui, just tell every client that "AngryPlaayer is hosting a sword fight!". If the message is through chat, have the server handle that.

It will show up on a text label. How do i take localplayer’s name from a localscript and carry that name to the server script to then show that name to all clients? AngryPlaayer 17 — 4y

You can just use RemoteEvent:FireAllClients(Player.Name) if you want the name to be shown to all clients on like a gui. Crafter215 -5 — 4y
