Button in ScreenGui is returning nil?
I'm messing around with RemoteEvents at the moment, trying to get a better understanding of how it works. But I don't exactly understand why button is returning nil?
Local Script
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print(button)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").TestEvent:FireServer(button)
end)
Server
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = repStorage:WaitForChild("TestEvent")
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, button)
print(player, button)
end)
The output is Player1 nil

just do 'button.Name' as the argument User#23365 30 — 5y

It is returning nil because the player gui is not accessible by the server. You can, however fire it with the button's name (button.Name).

So basically we're able to access all the values of button? For example like button.TextColor3 and such? Icy_Qube 29 — 5y

GUIs inside of the PlayerGui folder are cloned locally. The server isn't, and shouldn't be, touching GUIs anyway. And the PlayerGui folder is created by the server. User#24403 69 — 5y
