Asked by 5 years ago
Edited 5 years ago

I have a simple gui project that makes a user enter something in a textbox and when they click a button it will output on console. For some reason this dosen't work.

Script:

local textbox = script.Parent

local button = script.Parent.Parent.TextButton

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

      print("user entered:".. textbox.Text)
  

end)

It outputs nothing...

Make sure you are using a local script.

i see your problem. your using print to change the textbuttons text. so it would be

local textbox = script.Parent

local button = script.Parent.Parent.TextButton

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Text = "User Entered"
end)

or if you trying to print in the output, it would be

local button = script.Parent.Parent.TextButton

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    print("User Entered")
end)
