I have been trying to make a voting system, but I have one problem. When I try to find the player, it doesn't look for the Player's name (What is typed into the box named player) but it instead looks inside the textbox. Code is below:
local playname = script.Parent.Parent.Player.Text
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
local value = game.Players:FindFirstChild(playname["leaderstats"]["ThumbsUp"].Value)
value = value + 1
end
first off, it's Player.Name, not Player.Text. secondly, why in the world would you use FindFirstChild when you already have the player. just do local value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Player["leaderstats"]["ThumbsUp"].Value or if it's in a LocalScript do game.Players.LocalPlayer
No, not voting for the player you are playing as. "Player" is the name of the textbox. I just need to know how to target a player by using that text, using the text from it, and not the path to the textbox.(I am voting for another player)
But thanks for an idea. Probably won't work though :( ROBLOX keeps acting weird.
local playname = script.Parent.Parent.Player.Text
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
local value = game.Players:FindFirstChild(playname).leaderstats.ThumbsUp.Value
value = value + 1
end
Hope this helped if the problem persists, try testing it in player
Also if this is in the StarterGui make sure this is in a local script.
ROBLOX IS SO MESSED UP! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS SCRIPT TO WORK FOR 3 DAYS! I HAVE TESTED BOTH ANSWERS IN REAL SERVERS AND STUDIO! IT STILL WONT WORK!!!! PLEASE HELP!

Is Player.Text a table formatted as a string? Like a JSON table or something? Also, you should post the returned error code.
There is no error. It just doesn't work.
