Help with TextButton MouseClick error?
Ok so I have a Screen Gui which has a TextButton, and a ClickDetector inside the textbutton. Inside the TextButton is a Script. A regular one. Nothing happens.
1 | local r = math.random(0,255) |
2 | local g = r |
3 | local b = g |
4 | game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() |
5 | game.Workspace.Part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(r, g, b) |
6 | end) |

Click detectors only work when parented to parts, and the script must be a LocalScript, and textbuttons have their own Mouse Click event, here it is. Also, you need to get the player's PlayerGui to access this button, as the StarterGui is just a placeholder for the gui.
1 | local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer |
2 | local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") |
3 |
4 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- This is it. |
5 | -- Do your code here. |
6 | end) |

THX it worked! But what is "script.Parent"? Cvbza 12 — 7y

First, "script" is a reference to the script you're currently inside. It's like assigning a variable to an object, you can do methods, like :Destroy() and get properties (script.Parent shown in the code). User#19524 175 — 7y

Ok cool! So if I had a Script inside ServerScriptService I can access it with "script.Parent"? If so cool. Cvbza 12 — 7y
