Why won't my player.Name thing work?
This is in a normal script
Script:-
1 | local textButton = script.Parent |
2 |
3 | textButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(player) |
4 | print ("I got clicked by " ..player.Name) |
5 | end) |
Error:-
1 | Workspace.Part.SurfaceGui.Frame.TextButton.Script:4: attempt to index local 'player' (a number value) |
2 | Stack Begin |
3 | Script 'Workspace.Part.SurfaceGui.Frame.TextButton.Script', Line 4 |
4 | Stack End |
What I am trying to do is when the text box is clicked(which is in a surfacegui) it will print that the box was clicked by the player.
Any help please? :)

What you're trying to do isn't correct. Before I continue, I'd suggest looking at the > Adornee < property of SurfaceGuis. First off, keep the SurfaceGui in StarterGui and put this in the GUI (localscript):
1 | script.Parent.Adornee = Workspace.Part; |
2 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer; |
3 | script.Parent.Frame.TextButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function() |
4 | print'I got clicked by '..plr.Name; |
5 | end); |

Your problem is that the MouseButton1Down function does not return the player.
Therefore you have to access the player's name from the LocalPlayer.
1 | local textButton = script.Parent |
2 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
3 |
4 | textButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function() |
5 | print ("I got clicked by " ..player.Name) |
6 | end) |

Yeah, I didn't realize it was in a SurfaceGui. However it still should work, as long as it is in a LocalScript. Either way, someone else answered your question. SlickPwner 534 — 10y
