How can I insert things into a certain player who clicks a button?

Asked 304 views2 answers

I want to try and insert a dialog, and a sound into a player when they click a button. I'm not sure how to do this. This was my attempt (it doesn't work and I don't really understand the whole :GetPlayer stuff yet)

local button = script.Parent
local name = game.Players:GetFullName(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter)
local dialog = game.ServerStorage.Dialog:Clone()
local talk = button.Talk:Clone()
button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	local playerw = name
	dialog.Parent = playerw.Head
	talk.Parent = playerw.Head
	playerw.Head.Talk.Playing = true
end)

Sorry for how messy it is, I was just lost. I really have no clue on this one.

I don't think this question deserves a downvote, he provided code, he just didn't know how to get the player

This is not that complicated. All you need is the parameter playerWhoClicked, which is built into Roblox. If your having trouble, make sure to take a look at the DevHub.

Note: Considering you haven't guessed already, the parameter playerWhoClicked is literally the player who clicked.

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/ClickDetector/MouseClick

Anyways, here is the code :

button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(playerWhoClicked)
			
		local dialog = game.ServerStorage.Dialog:Clone()
		local talk = button.Talk:Clone()
		talk.Parent = playerWhoClicked.Character.Head
		dialog.Parent = playerWhoClicked.Character.Head
		talk.Playing = true

end)

I'm not sure if this code works, but if it doesn't, please contact me back and I will be able to help some more.

Just type after (function(Player) and that is your player
