How to make a textbutton return a player?
I understand that if you click a brick with the function
script.Parent.ClickDetector:connect(function(p)
player = p.Parent
end)
But how would I get player in a textbutton on a surfacegui? I can't work it out. Thanks.

For a surface gui it would have to be a local script put in starterpack/startergui. So we will be able to use localplayer. Example:
local textbutton = workspace.Part.SurfaceGui.TextButton
textbutton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
print(game.Players.LocalPlayer)
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
end)
That should work, hope it helped!

No, because the script is inside the surfacegui. traigla 75 — 8y

What do you mean the script is inside the surfacegui, when the button is clicked, you can get the localplayer from the local script that you put in starterpack/startergui, and if you need that player in a serverscript, then you can use RemoteEvents... that's the only way it's possible.

The script is inside the surfacegui. What's so confusing about that? And I don't want the script in StarterPack/GUI. It needs to be in that part for that model. traigla 75 — 8y

@Traigla, this is the only way you can get it, and if you want to do anything with the script that is going to be under the brick, that would be a server script, and you can send information to that from the local script using a RemoteEvent, abs is totally right. Scriptree 125 — 8y

You need to adornee the surface GUI to the actual part, but keep the real Gui inside the player DigitalVeer 1473 — 8y

I think triagla is pointing out that the local script is under the brick or surfacegui, and it isn't getting put into the player in game.Players dragonkeeper467 453 — 8y
