Hey there, trying to make a script that will remove everything from PlayerGui from Player on the event of touching a brick, but have ran into some issues. Could anybody help me out? not the best scripter so any advice would help tons!
local brick = script.Parent
local function steppedOn(part)
local parent = part.Parent
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent) then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:Destroy()
end
end
brick.Touched:connect(steppedOn)
Problem: Guis are not getting removed.
Solution: Use game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent) instead of game.Players.LocalPlayer.
Explanation: game.Players.LocalPlayer does not work in ServerScripts as ServerScripts do not run on clients. Instead, they run on a physical server. game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent) is equal to the player who touched the part.
Other Improvements: Use DataModel:GetService("Players") and RBXScriptSignal:Connect(steppedOn) instead of DataModel.Players and RBXScriptSignal:connect(steppedOn).
Fixed Code:
local brick = script.Parent
local function steppedOn(part)
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if player then
for i, v in pairs(player.PlayerGui:GetChildren()) do
v:Destroy()
end
end
end
brick.Touched:Connect(steppedOn)
Please upvote and accept this answer if it helped.
Try This:
local brick = script.Parent
local function steppedOn(part)
local parent = part.Parent
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent) then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:GetChildren()Destroy()
end
end
brick.Touched:connect(steppedOn)
