As stated in the title, I've been attempting to create a script that would allow a GUI to become visible when a specific player joins the game, then becoming invisible shortly thereafter. The script I've made and used doesn't appear to have worked at all, and I'm a bit confused.
Here's my code.
function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
if (newPlayer.Name== "Jovelo") then
wait(2)
script.Parent = GUI
GUI.Visible = true
wait(10)
GUI.Visible = false
Anyone have any ideas?
You need to call the function with an event.
function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
if newPlayer.Name == "Jovelo" then
wait(2)
GUI = script.Parent
GUI.Visible = true
wait(10)
GUI.Visible = false
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerEntered)
Don't forget to accept the answer if I helped!
So, I've implemented the script, and it still does not appear to be working, I've tried putting the screengui as a parent, as well as the textlabel, and neither of them elicit a response from the script.
You can fix this by using RemoteEvents.
Server Sided Script:
local Event = EventPart:WaitForChild("EventNameHere") -- Remote event
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
if Player.Name == "PlayerNameHere" then
Event:FireAllClients()
end
end)
Local Script, A child of the GUI:
local Event = EventPart:WaitForChild("EventNameHere") -- Remote event
Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() -- Listen to event
script.Parent.Visible = true
wait(10)
script.Parent.Visible = false
end)
This should work.

Do you want the GUI to be visible for everyone or only that player?
I'd like it to be visible for everyone, if possible.
for that, I think you'd need a remote event.
If I were you I would do that on client.
