[FE] Why is my GUI giving me an error that my Sign isn't a valid member of Player?
I'm trying to make a sign that puts text on it after you type it into a GUI. The GUI comes up after the tool is equipped.
For some reason I am getting an error. I've added :WaitForChild() and repeat wait() until seeing if maybe it wasn't recognizing that its there.
17:22:36.263 - SignTool is not a valid member of Player
17:22:36.263 - Stack Begin
17:22:36.264 - Script 'ServerScriptService.Script', Line 3
17:22:36.265 - Stack End
LocalScript
local Message = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeText:FireServer(Player, Message)
end)
Script
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeText.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Player, Message)
Player.SignTool.Sign.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = Message.Text
end)

Your server script is the one that is causing the error. The OnServerEvent of the RemoteEvent returns the player instance that fired the event by default. There is no need to send the player through the remote event because it is done automatically. This is how the fix would look like:
Local Script:
local Message = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
--Player is sent by default so there is no need to put it in the
--args
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeText:FireServer(Message)
end)
Server Script:
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeText.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Message)
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
Character.SignTool.Sign.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = Message.Text
end)
