billboard gui textbutton problem

[waxen relic]

so im trying to make a dialogue system, and i want to test out if i can click the textbutton so i can do everything else, but its just not working. can anyole help?

i included what was in the normal script just incase

[snow siren]

So it does not even print "clicked"?

[waxen relic]

no

[snow siren]

wait

[waxen relic]

i put the interactwith there and at the end of the guifunction

ill show u my billbaords properties

and textbutton properties

ifyw

[snow siren]

in what kind of script is this located in?

[waxen relic]

serverscriptservice it was in my rig before

intentionally

[snow siren]

The method StartDialog() gets called inside a server script and inside that method you use the .MouseButton1Click event which can only be detected by the client.

[waxen relic]

i thought about doing it in a local script but the thing is i need to get the ui in the localscript when the ui is cloned

or do i just copy over the cloneui all of that silly billy into my localscript

and give it a try

or do should i just put it in the textbutton

[snow siren]

yeah if your cloneui is in replicated storage you can clone it from there

[waxen relic]

so ive pasted the code into my interactbtn instance with a localscript it still dont work

ill just show u properties

[snow siren]

which script

[waxen relic]

i just made a localscript in interactbtn

it sets the adornee to rig torso automatically btw if you think of saying something about that

** You are now Level 8! **

[snow siren]

what did you paste into the local script?

the module or the server script?

[waxen relic]

local interactwith = script.Parent

interactwith.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    print("clicked")
end)

[snow siren]

and that didn't print ?????

[waxen relic]

no bro

idk how

[snow siren]

any errors?

[waxen relic]

nope

ill even check

again

yeah no errors atall

[snow siren]

wait where is the local script located?

[snow siren]

im guessing this is inside the workspace right?

[waxen relic]

it clones the ui to the rigs torso

[snow siren]

which is inside the workspace.

[waxen relic]

yes

the rig is in the torso

[snow siren]

You can't run local scripts inside the workspace unless they are parented to instances that the client owns.

You'd have to place your script inside one of these three folders.

Then reference your rig and reference the button inside that rig

[waxen relic]

this is what i said earlier

but i thought that there must be another way

because i thought what u just said wouldnt work

[snow siren]

?

[waxen relic]

ill try

[snow siren]

👍

[waxen relic]

i was trying to say that earlier

i was hoping youd get the memo

[snow siren]

memo?

[waxen relic]

basically was trying to say i hoped you got what i meant

[snow siren]

i see

[waxen relic]

ill try startercharacterscripts

still not wokring

working

[snow siren]

can i see your local script?

[waxen relic]

local ffr = workspace:WaitForChild("ff").BillboardGui.TextButton

ffr.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("Hi")
end)

[snow siren]

What. Isn't your TextButton called interactbtn

[waxen relic]

ok so i put billboard in startergui and it worked

[waxen relic]

no i made a whole nother new part, billboard gui and textbtn

[snow siren]

don't you clone them?

Because in your script you don't use Instance.new()

or did you create a new one just for testing purposes?

[waxen relic]

yes

[snow siren]

I see.

[snow siren]

Well do you know how to fix this issue now?

[waxen relic]

well i have to try and think logically on how im gonna make this work for my npcdialog

uhh

nvm

idk how thats happened

its gotten darker

[snow siren]

Yeah BillboardGui also takes light in account.

[waxen relic]

yea

also

its worked now

but

the thing is

wait a sec

i have an idea

hold on

[snow siren]

👍

[waxen relic]

nvm it works now

done it for both

got smart quickly

i was gonna say how im gonna like clone it and parent it to startergui all of that bollocks

but i done it anyway

and i made the click function work for both of them

thank you for your help, dearly

i appreciate it

[snow siren]

No problem and good luck with creating your game 👍

[waxen relic]
