how would I make this script work in a global script instead of a local script?

I am trying to make this local script into a global script, whenever I try to run this script in a global script it does not work. Can someone help me?

TextBox = script.Parent

r1 = script.Parent.Parent.Room1
r1.BackgroundColor3 = BrickColor.new("Mint").Color
local room1 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Room1")

hasTouched = false

TextBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()

    r1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
        if hasTouched == false then
            hasTouched = true

            local text = TextBox.Text
            r1.BackgroundColor3 = BrickColor.new("Persimmon").Color
            room1:Clone().Parent = game.Players:WaitForChild(text).Backpack
            print("Gave room 1 to ",text)
        end
    end)
end)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)    
    local backp = player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
    local room1 = backp:WaitForChild("Room1")


    if room1 then
        print("Removed room 1 from backpack")
        hasTouched = false
    end

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)    
    local rom1 = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
    local romm1 = rom1:WaitForChild("Room1")

    if romm1 then
        print("Removed room 1 from hotbar")
        hasTouched = false
    end
end)

This script will not work in one script, you need a local and a global script.

Things like TextBoxes or any GUI specific shall be in a LocalScript. (Global scripts can't access the GUIs from Players)

If you want to let Global and Local Scripts communicate, you can use RemoteEvents and BindableEvents.

I would recommend you reading this article.
