How do I get a player that clicked a GUI?
My code looks like this:
01 | function opengui(click, click2) |
02 | print(click) |
03 | print(click2) |
04 | --local kiosk = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent |
05 | --local shopgui = kiosk:FindFirstChild("ShopGui") |
06 | --local guiclone = shopgui:clone() |
07 | --guiclone.Parent = click.PlayerGui |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | 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 — 10y

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.
1 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer --The player |
2 |
3 | function opengui(click, click2) |
4 | local kiosk = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ShopGui |
5 | shopgui:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui |
6 | end |

8 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(opengui) |
