Find player when they click on a SurfaceGUI
I'm trying to make a script in which when you click on a SurfaceGUI button, it makes the "box" belong to that player. To do this I need to change some values to equal the player's name. The only problem is finding the player. I'm not sure how to find the player after clicking (You might've seen my (player) After the function, that was me trying to find it). Anyway can someone please help? Here's the script:
boxsettings = script.Parent
frame = script.Parent.Parent
bin = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
boxsettings.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(player)
if boxsettings.Text == "Claim Box!" then
boxsettings.Text = "Box Settings"
frame.Owner.Value = player.Name
frame.CurrentOwner.Text = "Current owner: "..player.Name
end
end)

I suppose you do not wish to make these GUIs local (Meaning that if you change the text, other players would not be able to see changes made to them)
In that case it is not possible to get the player from a click on the button.
Your only option would be to make a local script that checks if the player clicks on the part the surfacegui is in and then changes it to the name.
'SurfaceGuis must be descendants of PlayerGui in order to know the player who is interacting with it.'
Have you done that ?
Alright thanks a lot everyone. Your information really helped.
