when player touches block, event occurs for all players?

Asked 316 views1 answers

hi, i am making a game and when the player touches the indicator, I want it to broadcast an event for that player, but when a player touches it, all players in the server receive the event.

local myPart = game.Workspace.indicator1
local otherPart = myPart.Touched:Wait()
print("Part was touched by: " .. otherPart.Name)
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled=true

here is my code in the local script. indicator1 is what is touched to broadcast the event. would i change this to an "if" statement? thank you!

do:

game.Players:FindFirstChild(otherPart.Name).PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = true

Reasoning: script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled=true would make it appear for all players because it will make it enabled on the starter gui, not playergui

does it work while testing in studio or should I be in the actual game? right now it isn't working while in studio and i was wondering if I needed to go into the actual game.

Are you sure this would work? If a part was unanchored and touched the object it would still broadcast the event.

okay I found out the problem, I keep getting the error attempt to index nil with playergui so I tried changing it to a normal script but I’m getting the same error. I’m trying to figure it out right now but I’m still not sure what to do! thank you
