Hello, im trying to make a script in which when you stand on top of a part it makes a text button appear. Its a local script and the directory of it is Workspace\Part\LocalScript, and the directory of the text button is StarterGui\ScreenGui\TextButton. Here is the code:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local function Touched(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.Visible = true
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Touched)
You've already got the basics in place but your issue is stemming from determining whether the part that touched the other part is a member of a Characters model.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer will only work when using a LocalScript and in this instance, you are using a ServerScript so this should be changed to just local Players = game.Players.
To fix this, you can use the GetPlayerFromCharacter method like this
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
After which you can check whether the method returned a Player.
if player ~= nil then
end
Putting it altogether will get you:
local Players = game.Players
local function Touched(hit)
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player ~= nil then
player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.Visible = true
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Touched)
Thank you for the help!
No problem!

have you tried debugging it by adding a print to every thread?
yes, i have but no prints work, not even before the local player variable
