How can I transfer a Textbox's Text from the Client to the Server?
So, I have been working on a game that involves a TextBox and a TextButton. What I want to happen is, when a player types in the TextBox, then clicks the Confirm Button, it will send the Text in the TextBox to the Server using RemoteEvents.
Then, a Server Script will make a new StringValue that has the TexBox's Text as its Value.
I have tried testing it out, and every time I do, it makes the StringValue's Value Blank on the Client and Server.
(The RemoteEvent name is called "NewStringEvent")
Here is the LocalScript for the Confirm Button:
local TextBox = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("NewStringEvent")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SuccessFrame.Visible = true
RemoteEvent:FireServer(TextBox)
end)
Here is the Server Script for the RemoteEvent:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local NewStringEvent = ReplicatedStorage.NewStringEvent
local counter = 0
NewStringEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, TextBox)
counter += 1
local newString = Instance.new("StringValue")
newString.Name = player.Name .. "s_" .. counter .. "_Text"
newString.Value = TextBox
newString.Parent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(player.Name .. "s_Texts")
end)
Any Help On This?

The only issue I can spot is that you are getting the text outside the event. Putting it outside the event means the variable will not update; it will remain the same from when the script loads.
Update the variable by putting it inside the event.
local TextBox = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("NewStringEvent")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SuccessFrame.Visible = true
local Text = TextBox.Text
RemoteEvent:FireServer(Text)
end)
