How do I find a Player from game.Players in a server script?
I am making this SurfaceGui that when you click it opens up a TextBox (this is all local). I want to be able to trasnfer whats in that TextBox to a TextLabel in Workspace for the whole server to be able to see. I know I can't use LocalPlayer in a server script, so how else would I be able to do this? (This is for FE, so its a remote event)
Local script:
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.NameForOrder
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.SurfaceGui.Main.Visible = true
wait(0.1)
RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)
Sever script:
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.NameForOrder
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local textbox = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.TextBox
game.Workspace.OrderMachine.Order.SurfaceGui.Frame.TextLabel.Text = "Order for "..textbox.Text..":"
end)

This would be simple, use the Players:GetPlayers() function, and nest it into an array. If you'd like to access them you should use a for loop, and add a Conditional Statement to rule out every other player.
You can also pass the LocalPlayer's name and use it as a parameter for an argument, yet I think this would all be unnecessary as Firing the Server will pass whoever Fired the Remote, as you already have written, but if you'd like to work with a different player, sent from the Remote? then it would look somewhat like so
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(FiredPlayer, LocalPlayer)
local Players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
for Index, Player in ipairs(Players) do
if (LocalPlayer == LocalPlayer and LocalPlayer.Character) then
print(LocalPlayer.."!")
end
end
end)
You can also write it in this form too.
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(FiredPlayer, LocalPlayer)
local Players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers() --// Get acces to all Players.
local Player = nil --// Player you're working with.
local function CheckForPlayer (Player) --// Argument.
for Index, Player in ipairs(Players) do --// Run through all Players
if (LocalPlayer.Name ~= LocalPlayer and not LocalPlayer.Character) then --// Ignore if not the specified Player
return false
end
Player = Player --// Set the Player variable for outside referencing.
return true
end
end
if (CheckForPlayer("JxkeBape")) then --// Run the function tied in a Conditional Statement
print(Player.."!")
end
end)
That's for other terms, but I believe this is what you're probably looking for, this should be mostly done Client-side. You're using some parts in the wrong place, try this?
--//Client
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local PlayerGUI = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local TextBox = PlayerGUI:WaitForChild("TextBox")
local Remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remote
TextBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(Return) --// Event that fires when a TextBox was left, provides parameter of if Return pressed.
if (Return) then
local Text = TextBox.Text
Remote:FireServer(Text)
end
end)
--//Server
local Remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remote
local TextLabel = workspace:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Text)
TextLabel.Text = Text
end)
Hope this helps, I do suggest finding another method but If these work for you too then that's perfect! Good Luck
