How do i transfer a local textbox string to a server string?
-- local script
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Broadcast = repStorage:WaitForChild("Broadcast")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
local MessageBox = script.Parent.Parent.MessageBox
local CharacterValue = script.Parent.Parent.CharacterLabel.Characters.Value
local CharactersLeftValue = script.Parent.Parent.CharacterLabel.CharactersLeft.Value
local MaxCharactersValue = script.Parent.Parent.CharacterLabel.MaxCharacters.Value
Broadcast:FireServer(player, MessageBox, CharactersLeftValue, CharacterValue, MaxCharactersValue)
end)
and
game.ReplicatedStorage.Broadcast.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, MessageBox, CharactersLeftValue, CharacterValue, MaxCharactersValue)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local InstanceGui = v.PlayerGui.InstanceGui
local MessageFrame = Instance.new("Frame", InstanceGui)
MessageFrame.Name = "MessageFrame"..math.random(1,1000)
MessageFrame.Size = UDim2.new(0.2, 0,0.2, 0)
MessageFrame.Position = UDim2.new(0.029, 0,0.703, 0)
MessageFrame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(102,102,102)
MessageFrame.BorderSizePixel = 3
MessageFrame.BackgroundTransparency = 0
local AspectRatio = Instance.new("UIAspectRatioConstraint", MessageFrame)
AspectRatio.AspectRatio = 1.5
local Title = Instance.new("TextLabel", MessageFrame)
Title.Name = "Title"
Title.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0,0.2, 0)
Title.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0,0, 0)
Title.BorderSizePixel = 3
Title.Font = Enum.Font.GothamBold
Title.Text = "Server Broadcast"
Title.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
Title.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(102,102,102)
Title.TextScaled = true
local Text = Instance.new("TextLabel", MessageFrame)
Text.Name = "Text"
Text.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0,0.798, 0)
Text.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0,0.2, 0)
Text.BorderSizePixel = 0
Text.Font = Enum.Font.GothamBold
Text.Text = tostring(MessageBox.Text) -- Mainly this part
Text.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
Text.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(102,102,102)
Text.TextScaled = true
Text.BackgroundTransparency = 1
MessageBox.Text = "" -- this a bit
CharactersLeftValue = MaxCharactersValue
CharactersLeftValue = 0
MessageBox.TextEditable = true -- And this
wait(5)
MessageFrame:Remove()
end
end)
Pretty much here, trying to make a server broadcast thing

When you are using :FireServer() you don't put player as an argument. Because you did it all the receiving arguments are mixed up.
FireServer(Player,Text) --Wrong ....OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,Text) -- In this case Text will actually be the player FireServer(Text) --Corect ....OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,Text) -- In this case Text will actually be text
FireServer automatically sends the player to the server, there's no need for manually doing that, basically what you have done now is sending the second argument on the server MessageBox, which gets a value from the client which is the player.
Also I wouldn't physically send the TextBox over the network, it'll only know how to transfer instances if both the Server and Client know of the instance existance. I'd rather just send the MessageBox.Text which is the text data of the textbox.
Edit:
I would also like to point out how absolutely pointless this part is
tostring(MessageBox.Text)
The text property is already of type string, there's no need to turn it into a string.
