Hello,just for further info,this is an alt account i used because i didnt remember my password on my main acc.

So,I was trying to make a player when it clicks on a GUI button,it creates a clone of it and passes it to all players in the server.I havent figured it out yet and its driving me crazy! Also tried some dev forum solutions,still nothing.

I have tested it out with a binable event and remote event (Not sure if i need to use a Remote Function) In the binable event,it works,but it only appears to the player who pressed it

I am using a remote event:

Local

01local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
02 
03local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
04local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
05 
06local Erase = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Erase")
07local Send = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Send")
08local point = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Pointer")
09local canvas = script.Parent
10 
11local hold = false
12 
13function paint(X, Y)
14    local gui_X = canvas.AbsolutePosition.X
15    local gui_Y = canvas.AbsolutePosition.Y
16 
17    local offset = Vector2.new(math.abs(X - gui_X), math.abs(Y - gui_Y - 36))
18    point.Position = UDim2.new(0, offset.X, 0 , offset.Y)
19 
20    if hold == false then return end
21 
22    local pixel = point:Clone()
23    pixel.Name = "Pixel"
24    pixel.Parent = canvas
25end
26 
27Erase.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
28    local children = canvas:GetChildren()
29 
30    for i, child in pairs(children) do
31        if child.Name == "Pixel" then
32            child:Destroy()
33        end
34    end
35end)
36 
37canvas.MouseMoved:Connect(paint)
38 
39canvas.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
40    point.Visible = true
41end)
42 
43canvas.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
44    point.Visible = false
45end)
46 
47UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
48    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
49        hold = true
50    end
51end)
52 
53UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
54    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
55        hold = false
56    end
57end)
58--script.Parent.Parent, player.Name
59Send.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
60    game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid:FireServer(player)
61    script.Parent.Parent.Draw.Visible = false
62        script.Parent.Parent.Send.Visible = false
63        script.Parent.Parent.Erase.Visible = false
64        script.Parent.Top.Visible = false
65end)
66 
67game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
68    local Gui = plr.PlayerGui.Evidence.Draw:Clone()
69    Gui.Top.Text = plr.Name.."'s Evidence"
70    Gui.Parent = player
71 
72    return Gui
73

Yes,it is a canvas GUI.

Server

01game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SetOrder.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
02    local Teams = game.Teams
03 
04    for i, v in pairs(Teams.Innocent:GetPlayers()) do
05        local Char = v.Character
06        Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.InnoTP.CFrame
07    end
08 
09    for i, v in pairs(Teams.Blamed:GetPlayers()) do
10        local Char = v.Character
11        Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.BlameTP.CFrame
12    end
13 
14    workspace.Separate.CanCollide = true
15    wait(8)
16    workspace.Separate.CanCollide = false
17end)
18--The part up is another thing,recommend to not pay attention to it
19 
20game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
21    for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
22        game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid:FireClient(player)
23    end
24end)

And a bonus:Top is not a valid member of ScreenGui? While its parented to the draw frame.

If you could include example code it would be better

Sorry,i am not that good in scripting. Thanks,Have a nice day.

this is the change to the serverscript starting at line 20

1game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(players)
2for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
3game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid:FireAllClients(player)
4end
5end)

First, in your Server Script, instead of Firing Clients separately, you can Fire all clients at once:

`1`	`game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid:FireAllClients()`

And the line above it, where server is receiving, you can do:

`1`	`game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)`

And on line 67, I assume you are using:

`1`	`game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)`

Instead, you can simply do:

`1`	`game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()`

Then, you can make the Local Player the parent of the Gui:

`1`	`Gui.Parent` `=` `plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")`

I assume the Gui is already present in Starter Gui. This is how your end part of Local script moght look:

1game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ShareEvid.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
2        local Gui = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").Evidence.Draw:Clone()
3        Gui.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
4        Gui.Top.Text = plr.Name.."'s Evidence"
5 
6        return Gui
7end)

If it doesn't work, lemme know the errors.

Please Upvote and lemme know if it helped!

Edit: You told me that a player draws something on Canvas, so it shows on every player's Gui.

It's just an eg, which does not represent your script in any way. Take the idea from here, and implement it in your game.

for that, u can do:

01-- Make an empty Screen Gui and name it CanvasToAll
02 
03--Local script for button
04local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
05local canvas = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").CanvasGui:GetChildren() -- It will get contents from the Gui
06local canvasG = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").CanvasGui
07 
08script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
09    if game.ReplicatedStorage.CanvasBool.Value == true then
10        game.ReplicatedStorage.CanvasR:FireServer(canvas)
11    end
12end)
13 
14game.ReplicatedStorage.CanvasR.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(canvasC)
15    for i, v in pairs(canvasC) do
16        local clone = v:Clone()
17        clone.Parent = canvasG
18    end
19end)
20 
21-- Server script in ServerScriptService
22game.ReplicatedStorage.CanvasR:OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, canvas)
23game.ReplicatedStorage.CanvasBool.Value = true
24    if game.ReplicaredStorage.CanvasBool.Value == true then
25        for i, v in pairs(canvas) do
26            local clone = v:Clone()
27            clone.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Canvas -- Made a folder in        ReplicatedStorage called Canvas
28        end
29        wait(1)
30        local canvasContents = game.ReplicatedStorage.CanvasR:GetChildren()
31 
32        game.ReplicatedStorage.CanvasR:FireAllClients(canvasContents)
33        game.ReplicatedStorage.CanvasBool.Value = false
34    end
35end)
36 
37-- Added CanvasBool as a bool value to prevent overlapping if button is pressed simultaneously by two or more players

Didnt work,still it show nothing,and no error is shown on the output,but thanks for trying! yuni_Boy1234 320 — 4y

Can you add prints before and after firing remote events? I doubt there's something to be in Remote Event only BestCreativeBoy 1395 — 4y

Hmm... I have added them,they all print when i click the send button yuni_Boy1234 320 — 4y

It prints first "I clicked the send button" then "the remote has ran on its server call" and finally "the remote has ran on its client call" yuni_Boy1234 320 — 4y

I assume the Gui is in the starteGui by default, so try removing cloning thing. BestCreativeBoy 1395 — 4y

kinda basic stuff but are all of the GUI elements enabled / visible when you're trying to display it? AlexTheCreator 461 — 4y

well, you have to check the properties in order to get your answer, but if you are talking about by default, it is eanbled/visible BestCreativeBoy 1395 — 4y
