I have been told that to enable or make an image label inside a screenGui visible through a LOCAL script you must do something like this:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScreenGui.ImageLabel.Visible = true
But how do you do it using a server script? I have been told the FireClient() function is maybe used for this. If anyone knows how, please answer. I am pretty sure this is possible.
GUIs are usually used in LocalScripts because they need to replicate to the LocalPlayer.PlayerGui. I suggest avoiding server scripts unless you need to use them. However, if you need to use a ServerScript, then you need to use RemoteEvents. I'll post an example on how you can use a ServerScript to make a Gui.
Server Script
workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if plr then
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireClient(plr)
end
end)
Local Script
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.ImageLabel.Visible = true
end)
If you need to show some sort of GUI to everyone, then use FireAllClients() instead or just use StarterGui for static GUIs.
