How do I get the person who clicked a button from a ClickDetector? [Solved]
If you have a button with a CLickDetector, and you only want rank+ or team only, or something to use it, how do I find the player from the click to check if the person is rank+, team, etc?
I know I need something like this...
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
--*something to find the player*
if Player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
script.Parent:Remove()
end
end)

All you need to edit is :
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(Player) --The Player is already there the MouseClick function actually gets the player, you just needed to add in the parameter for them.
--You don't need anything to find the player, but verifying them would be good.
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(Player.Name) then
if Player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
script.Parent.remove()
end
end
end)
Hope that helped.

Well. I tried something like that before, and I did print(Player) and it gave me a number. TypicalModerator 110 — 9y

What kind of script is this in? Also, you should try: print(Player.Name) Xetrax 85 — 9y

It was a while ago, so I might of done .Name, but I don't know. Thanks for the help though! And it's in a ServerScript. TypicalModerator 110 — 9y

Verifying the player would be excessive. It's best to just add the "Player" argument and leave it at that. Redbullusa 1580 — 9y

I'm sure just printing (Player) prints the ID of the Player Object relative to your game, I might be wrong, and no problem. Xetrax 85 — 9y

@Redbullusa, Its not that excessive, its just adding one if statement, and barely a second more of processing power. Xetrax 85 — 9y

No need to check for the Player to exist. Also, printing objects works fine normally. Perci1 4988 — 9y

Ah, I was thinking it worked like Java, where if you just do print(Object) it printed the specific Object's ID. Xetrax 85 — 9y

I don't understand what you mean by "find," so this is the closest I can think of.
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(Player)
if Player:GetRankInGroup(GROUPID) >= RANKNUMBER and Player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
print(Player.Name.. "clicked the button")
script.Parent:Remove()
end
end)
