[SOLVED] Unable to tonumber() a TextBox's Text

[simple jetty]

this is only some parts of the script, not the full ones

[winter sapphire]

are you sure you get the input you write in

i mean try printing game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("GiveMeMyTool"):WaitForChild("ToolIDShow").Text

[simple jetty]

wth

attempted to index nil

[winter sapphire]

first write an id there

[simple jetty]

i did

[winter sapphire]

then run print(game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("GiveMeMyTool"):WaitForChild("ToolIDShow").Text) in local console

[simple jetty]

130113146

[winter sapphire]

then are you sure ToolIDShow is the right text box you are using

[winter sapphire]

is this the output

[simple jetty]

yeah

[simple jetty]

only when i run this in the command bar at the bottom

[winter sapphire]

i think i got the problem

[simple jetty]

is it because the server sees it as an empty string?

[winter sapphire]

you are firing a replicated event at local script and giving the player who fires it

you dont need to do it

while client to server firing

[simple jetty]

if i give the player the tool from the local script

no one else will see the tool

[winter sapphire]

you get this unable to cast instance to int64 cuz it its not doing the id its doing the player

[winter sapphire]

no no i dont mean that

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("GiveGear"):FireServer(tonumber(game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("GiveMeMyTool"):WaitForChild("ToolIDShow").Text))

use this in lpcal script

[simple jetty]
