Im trying to get the players username when they click a surfaceGUI textButton in a server script.

My code: ** FIXED MYSELF **


local button = script.Parent
local inUse = game.Workspace.Booth1:WaitForChild("InUse")
local Owner = game.Workspace.Booth1:WaitForChild("Owner")




button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

    if inUse.Value == false then
        inUse.Value = true
        Owner.Value = ("Players username")
 -- players username here ^^^^^^^^^^^

        print("Claimed!")
    else
        print("Already being used!")

        end
end)

I just fixed this myself. Instead of using a textbutton I used a ClickDetector inside the part and then put this script inside of it.

local button = script.Parent
local inUse = game.Workspace.Booth1:WaitForChild("InUse")
local Owner = game.Workspace.Booth1:WaitForChild("Owner")



button.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

    if inUse.Value == false then
        inUse.Value = true
        Owner.Value = (player.Name)
        print(player.Name .. " pressed me!")


        print("Claimed!")
    else
        print("Already being used!")

    end
end)
