Hello, I made a new script for you, I see that the other persons script works so I made a new one where you can change the text anytime very quickly!

  1. Add a RemoteEvent called ChangeText in replicatedStorage
  2. Add a Script inside your ClickDetector
  3. Add a LocalScript inside your TextLabel

Script in ClickDetector:

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    replicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("ChangeText"):FireAllClients("Works") -- Change to the text you want!
end)

LocalScript in TextLabel:

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

replicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("ChangeText").OnClientEvent:Connect(function(text)
    script.Parent.Text = tostring(text)
end)

There would be no use to using tostring when its already sending text Protogen_Dev 268 — 2y

As good as the scripting itself is, tostring isn't required to be used and just wastes a second of typing. Protogen_Dev 268 — 2y

Really simple.

function OnClick(player: Player)
    player.PlayerGui.TextLabel.Text = "works"
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseEnter:Connect(OnClick)

You're changing it so it shows up when they respawn or anyone.

MouseEnter (NOT MOUSECLICK!) has a player argument to get the player.

He is looking for it on click, and MouseClick does have the player argument. Protogen_Dev 268 — 2y

The fastest way to do this would actually be via the use of remotes. Its finicky to use a server sided script to change a players UI.

First create a remote event within ReplicatedStorage, name it whatever you want. I went with ClickRemote.

Inside of a local script inside of the text box your code should look like this:

local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClickRemote

Remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Text = "Text to set to"
end)

Inside of the server script you can setup your code to detect clicks and fire the remote towards the player that clicks:

local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClickRemote

local function HandleAClick(PlayerThatClicked)
    Remote:FireClient(PlayerThatClicked)
end

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(HandleAClick)

This will change the text of the UI

Server Script: Remote:FireAllClients(PlayerThatClicked.) Protogen_Dev 268 — 2y

This is gonna be harder to explain but fits in well with what Matt said as an answer, you could change the "Works" in :FireAllClients() to (In my script) PlayerThatClicked.Name and the local script needs function() changing to function(playerName) and then script.Parent.Text = playerName .. " clicked the button" Protogen_Dev 268 — 2y
