Why doesn't this GUI script work? The current answer does not work

playerNameforPTS = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text -- Takes the value from the TextBox




function Click(mouse) -- leave this
    playerNameforPTS = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text -- Updates the value
    print(playerNameforPTS) -- Prints it
    if game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerNameforPTS) then
        game.Players:findfirstchild(playerNameforPTS).leaderstats.Points.Value = game.Players:findfirstchild(playerNameforPTS).leaderstats.Points.Value+1
    end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(Click)

You need the "FindFirstChild" command to be able to find the playerNameforPTS. All you did wrong was finding the value. This should work...Leave a comment if not, and i'll see what I can do.

playerNameforPTS = script.Parent.TextBox -- Takes the value from the TextBox
