How to get TextBox.Text instead of a blank space?
I've tried to get the text of a box using textbox.Text. After some debugging I found out the text it gets is just blank space. The local script is in a "Submit" button that sends the text through a remote event.
local submit = script.Parent
local textbox = game.StarterGui.ScreenGUI.Tab:WaitForChild("input")
local input = textbox.Text
local remevent= game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemEvent")
submit.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
remevent:FireServer(input)
print(input)
end)

The reason is because the input is the variable from before the player clicked the button. This should be the code
local submit = script.Parent
local textbox = game.StarterGui.ScreenGUI.Tab:WaitForChild("input")
local remevent= game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemEvent")
submit.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local input = textbox.Text
remevent:FireServer(input)
print(input)
end)
This should work because it is the input from when the player clicked the button.

It makes a lot of sense but still didn't work ???? I still get blank space in the output. I'm using print(input) to check Mafincho 43 — 3y
