the player isn't passed through the MouseButton1Click signal

You're probably doing this on a local script so just index the local player in the player's service

The thing is i want to be able to get it to send a Remote Function through the button but it's not even detecting the player

✓ Accepted answer

the MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(arg) return argument nil, and not is the player.

You need to get player with game.Players.LocalPlayer

example:


local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- This only works in Local Script / Get local player.

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print(Player.Name)
end)

Hope it helped :)
