So I'm trying to make it so when someone clicks a gui button, they'll be given a gun, but I can't seem to access the player who clicked the button? I have it inside a localscript, inside a textbutton, inside a frame, inside the screen gui. I am using player = game.Players.LocalPlayer but it says it "returns a value"?

You need to use a local script.

it would be: if game.StarterGui.whateverthenameis:connect() game.Players.LocalPlayer.name while true do game.Players.player.name = print(plyr"") end end maybe

As far as I know, there's no function for GUI's thar returns the player. The only method of finding the player would be using a local script and the player would be game.Players.LocalPlayer.
