Hi. I am doing a 911 System. Look at this script:

01button = script.Parent.Callbutton
02locationbox = script.Parent.LocationBox
03typeofemergencybox = script.Parent.EmergencyTypeBox
04describesittuationbox = script.Parent.DescribeSituationBox
05line1 = script.Parent.Parent.OperatorFrame.line1
06line2 = script.Parent.Parent.OperatorFrame.line2
07line3 = script.Parent.Parent.OperatorFrame.line3
08line4 = script.Parent.Parent.OperatorFrame.line4
09line5 = script.Parent.Parent.OperatorFrame.line5
10line6 = script.Parent.Parent.OperatorFrame.line6
11line7 = script.Parent.Parent.OperatorFrame.line7
12 
13location = nil
14typeofemergency = nil
15describesittuation = nil
16 
17button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
18    location = locationbox
19    typeofemergency = typeofemergencybox
20    describesittuation = describesittuationbox
21 
22    line1.Text = line2.Text
23    line2.Text = line3.Text
24    line3.Text = line4.Text
25    line4.Text = line5.Text
26    line5.Text = line6.Text
27    line6.Text = line7.Text
28    line7.Text = "%name%, ".."called for 911, Type Of Emergency: "..typeofemergency..", location: "..location..", Sittuation: "..describesittuation.."!"
29end)
 View all 29 lines...

It is using a Script not local script because I want it to happen serverside and not local. So then this error pops up:

16:53:07.877 - Players.iiLevelMaker.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Main.Script:28: attempt to concatenate global 'describesittuation' (a userdata value)

Why serverside? hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

I recommend reading https://scriptinghelpers.org/guides/server-client-relationship-in-roblox . In FilteringEnabled places, at least, server code cannot access gui - use RemoteEvents instead. chess123mate 5873 — 7y

I want it serverside so all the people can see the call in the gui. RootEntry 111 — 7y

You're trying to get the text from the variable typeofemergencybox. When all that variable does is specify the location of EmergencyTypeBox, just add .Text onto the end of your typeofemergencybox variable (at the top) and it should work. Do the same for DescribeSituation

Also, use :Connect instead of :connect as that is deprecated.

If this works for you, don't forget to accept my answer. awfulszn 394 — 7y
