How to check username of player who clicked textbutton?
Ok so I have this script that when you click it, it says "Taken by <name of the player who clicked>!"but it says click is a nil value. This usually works with touched events and clickedetector but its not working with gui clicks, so I'm looking for a way to check the name of the player who clicked it. Here is my script.
local function OnClick(Click)
script.Parent.TakenBy.Text = ("Taken by"..(Click.Parent.Name).."!")
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(OnClick)
I have a click parameter in my function, yet the output says click is a nil value. I also can't write "LocalPlayer.Name" because that only works in a local script, and I need the whole server to see this change. A localscript of course can't change it for the entire server because filtering is enabled. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Errors:
The GuiButton.MouseButton1Click event has no parameters.
In line 2, you wrapped your string in brackets, remove them since they are math exclusive, and arithmetic cannot be performed on a string. And in general they are just plain redundant.
I will rewrite your script, with a RemoteEvent.
-- RemoteEvent coding, server side.
game.Workspace.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
local m = Instance.new("Message", game.Workspace)
m.Text = "Taken by: "..plr.Name.."!"
--See, no brackets? I would get an error if used.
wait(5)
m:Destroy()
end)
Client-side code.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game.Workspace.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)
