I am trying to use the text of a text box in a server script, it always doesn't detect the text?
here is the script
local box1 = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print(box1.Text)
end)

is this a screen gui or a surface gui? UnforgivenJr3087 26 — 5y

Well, I think the problem here is that the variable does not really update with the GUI. So, to make it update, try using a .Changed event to detect if the text has been updated or not. And, I recommend making a separate variable of the "Text" property rather than the whole thing itself. (it makes it easier)
local box = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox -- variable for the box
local boxText = box.Text -- make a separate variable for the text
box.Changed:Connect(function() boxText = box.Text end) -- update the boxText variable each time the text changes
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print(boxText)
end)
I hope this helps!

You locate the text if it is " ". You just have to locate the text in the function!
local box1
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
box1 = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox
print(box1.Text)
end)
