how do i make a text box transfer to a string value?
so i think i'm on the right track but this is confusing me
01 | x = game.Workspace.Baseplate |
02 |
03 | player = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Value.Value |
04 |
05 | function clear() |
06 | if player == player then |
07 | --some code here |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(clear) |
what i want is to make this select a player by typing it into the box and then i can kill that player, i don't need a kill script i just need to know how to make this work. sorry if this didn't make sense. thanks for reading.

01 | x = game.Workspace.Baseplate |
02 |
03 | player = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Value -- you put value.value |
04 |
05 | function clear() |
06 | if player == player then |
07 | --some code here |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(clear) |

1 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- connect to event |
2 | player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text) -- try to find the player with the name specified in the textbox |
3 |
4 | if player then -- check if player exists |
5 | player.Character:BreakJoints() -- kill player |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
Oh yeah by the way this won't work cos of a few reasons.
If this is a localscript, you cannot kill other players. if this is a serverscript, you cannot see the text changed by the client, or connect to the event.
