GUI Text Input?
So i am trying to figure out how to detect a certain text input from a user like lets say
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
plrgui = plr.PlayerGui
websites = plrgui.NNet.Domains
oops = plrgui.NNet.Notices.Error
if input == "www.whatever.com" then
websites.whatever.Visible = true
else
oops.Visible = true
wait(3)
oops.Visible = false
end
I have no idea how to receive input from a text box.
So my question is:
How can we have a "local script" that checks input from a textbox and if the text is correct it will then return into showing the proper gui?

TextBox's have a FocusLost event which fires when someone has typed something into a textbox. So if you want to recieve input, you would do this:
local TextBox = script.Parent.TextBox
TextBox.FocusLost:connect(function()
input = TextBox.Text
end)
Basically, everytime someone has finished typing something into the textbox, the input will be whatever the Text is. Hope this helped!

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrgui = plr.PlayerGui
local websites = plrgui.NNet.Domains
local oops = plrgui.NNet.Notices.Error
isValidURL = function(url)
local valid = false
local site
for _,v in pairs(websites:GetChildren()) do
if string.lower(v.Name):match(string.lower(url)) then
valid = true
site = v
end
end
return valid,site
end
script.Parent.TextBox.FocusLost:connect(function()
local url = script.Parent.TextBox.Text
local valid,site = isValidURL()
if valid == false then
oops.Visible = true
return
end
site.Visible = true
end)
This is un-tested and I'm at school so IDK if it works but that might help a little bit!
