How do I get a player that clicked a GUI?
My code looks like this:
function opengui(click, click2)
print(click)
print(click2)
--local kiosk = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
--local shopgui = kiosk:FindFirstChild("ShopGui")
--local guiclone = shopgui:clone()
--guiclone.Parent = click.PlayerGui
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(opengui)
click and click2 are both being printed out as numbers, that seem to be player position related. How do I get the player that clicked it, like I can with .Touched:connect?

Try using the localplayer, Because you're the one who clicks the button anyway. woodengop 1134 — 9y

Your parameters 'click' and 'click2' are being printed out as numbers because the MouseButton1Down event, the event you're using, returns two things;
- The x coordinate that your mouse was on, on the gui.
- The y coordinate
The event does not return the player that clicks.. so what you need to do is **make this a localscript ** and index LocalPlayer from game.Players.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer --The player
function opengui(click, click2)
local kiosk = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ShopGui
shopgui:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(opengui)
