Hello there. I was making a button that opens another UI when a player clicks it. Then, I would have to reset my character because my code was...
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui..Enabled = true
How would I make the script print the players name?
Full Script
--Varibles
local gui = game.StarterGui
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
--Function
function open(plr)
gui.NotifyGui.Enabled = true
wait(.5)
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(open)
Hi there! This is actually very simple, So first things first make sure you have the correct function going on! Now here's what the code should look like for the resolved issue!
local gui = game.StarterGui
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Gui.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(hit) -- Change Gui, connect it to your own Gui.
gui.NotifyGui.Enabled = true
print(hit.Parent) --This should print out the Players Name!
wait(.5)
end)
plr is literally game.Players.LocalPlayer, so to access the name, add the below line
local name = plr.Name --Add after line 7, I'm guessing thats where you want it
Main question is, how can I print it?
print(whatever) so in this case, print(plr.Name)
Hello. To print the name of the person who clicked you would do this. Hope it helped.
--Variables being used
local gui = game.StarterGui
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
--Function you'd want to use
function open(hit)
gui.NotifyGui.Enabled = true
print(hit.Parent)
wait(.5)
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(hit)
Sorry, I'm getting "19:27:04.506 - Attempt to connect failed: Passed value is not a function"
"(event):connect(open)"

I have a error on "end)"
Ah sorry! I forgot to delete the end inside the code! The re-Edit should fix that now!
I'm getting "19:28:01.524 - Players.Player1.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Button1.TextButton.LocalScript:7: attempt to index local 'hit' (a nil value)"
If that's the case try doing print(plr.Name)
