How to get the name of a player who clicked a button?

I want to get the name of the player who clicked a button. Once I get their name I can add Coins to their stash. How do I do this? This is the code I have written so far. (I just need the name part) Thanks!

function onClicked()

game.Players.[I NEED NAME HERE].leaderstats.Coins.Value = game.Players.[I NEED NAME HERE].leaderstats.Coins.Value + 25

end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

ClickDetectors have a built-in parameter for which player clicked the button. All you have to do is add it in.

function onClicked(player)

game.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name).leaderstats.Coins.Value = game.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name).leaderstats.Coins.Value + 25

end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

Going indirectly through their .Name is silly. Just use `player.leaderstats` BlueTaslem 18071 — 8y

I had that, but when I double checked on the wiki it was using so I worried it would be wrong. Pyrondon 2089 — 8y
