Can i acess Local Player using a script? [FOR SURFACE GUI]
I'm working with SurfaceGUIs and i have to use a script for the button function, and that means i'd need to find a way to acess a local player using a script.
SCRIPT:
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer ~= nil
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
--\PLAYER VALUES/--
local CORE = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Core")
local Values = CORE:WaitForChild("Values")
local PaymentValue = Values:WaitForChild("PaymentValue")
local PaymentTime = Values:WaitForChild("PaymentTime")
local Employeed = Values:WaitForChild("Employeed")
--\TABEL VALUES/--
local Tabel = script.Parent.Parent
local TabelValues = Tabel:WaitForChild("Values")
local ShiftTime = TabelValues:WaitForChild("ShiftTime")
local Payment = TabelValues:WaitForChild("Payment")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if Employeed.Value == false then
Employeed.Value = true
PaymentTime = ShiftTime
PaymentValue = Payment
end
end)
I can explain the code in-case you wanna help.

You should handle button clicking using a local script and any stat you want to change in a server script. Use a remote event to communicate to the server for that. xPolarium 1388 — 5y

No, localplayer is never ever accessible through normal server scripts, only local scripts. LoganboyInCO 150 — 5y

Although you can't use LocalPlayer in server scripts, many events pass it as a parameter. For example, PlayerAdded's only parameter is the player who joined the game.
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
print(player.Name)
end)
