Textbox and string value error?
im trying to make a textbox that when a player type in something then click a button, it will take the text from the textbox and put it into a stringvalue but i get this error : bad argument #3 to 'Value' (string expected, got nil)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local name = game.Lighting.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name).CivilName
function Done()
player.Backpack.Camera:Destroy()
local named = script.Parent.Name.Text
name.Value = named

Can you include more of the script? And also provide the line number, etc., for the error? BlueTaslem 18071 — 7y

the rest of the script isn't related to that and the error is at line 6 Paldi 109 — 7y

On line 5, you attempt to index script.Parent.Name. I assume you're trying to get a child of script.Parent with the name "Name", but Lua assumes you mean the Name property of script.Parent. You then attempt to index Name, which would just be a string in this case. You can remedy this using FindFirstChild:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local name = game.Lighting.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name).CivilName
function Done()
player.Backpack.Camera:Destroy()
local named = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('Name').Text
name.Value = named
end;
Hope this helped.
