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
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.
yeah makes perfect sence XD thanks it worked!
Also, you may want to move away from using Lighting as storage; Roblox has ReplicatedStorage and ServerStorage for that purpose.

Can you include more of the script? And also provide the line number, etc., for the error?
the rest of the script isn't related to that and the error is at line 6
