Trying to make a GUI pop up from a part but wont work??

Asked 318 views1 answers

So, currently, I am trying to make it so whenever you click a click detector, it makes a GUI pop up. Can you try to help me?

Part 1 (Local Script):

local RepliactedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ShowGUI = RepliactedStorage:WaitForChild("ShowGUI")
local ClickDetector = game.Workspace.Part.ClickDetector
local Gui = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	print("Recived")
	ShowGUI:FireServer(Gui)
	print("Success")
end)

This basically fires the remote event when you click the part

Part 2 (Script):

local RepliactedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ShowGUI = RepliactedStorage:WaitForChild("ShowGUI")
local Gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Playergui.ScreenGui.Frame

ShowGUI.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, gui)
	Gui.Visible = true
end)

This script activates when the remote event is fired, and tries to make the GUI visible but doesn't work? Help me, please!

Output:

05:27:55.391 - Baseplate auto-recovery file was created
  05:27:55.836 - ServerScriptService.ServerScriptShowGui:3: attempt to index nil with 'Playergui'
05:27:55.837 - Stack Begin
05:27:55.837 - Script 'ServerScriptService.ServerScriptShowGui', Line 3
05:27:55.838 - Stack End
  Recived
  Success

I’m just going to say this right now, you went way to far. It’s simple but you made it hard, I can solve it but you are going to have to wait a couple of hours till I can get to my computer and test out the script for you.

No need for the remote event

Firing an event isn't necessary here since you are not trying to get a client to talk to the server, instead you could have it all done in the LocalScript

I know I could've, this was just to mess with RemoteEvents since I'm just learning them. And they are extremely valuable.

Instead of firing client to server, you'll need to fire server to client. So, the part 1 script should be a Script and this is what it should be:

local RepliactedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ShowGUI = RepliactedStorage:WaitForChild("ShowGUI")
local ClickDetector = game.Workspace.Part.ClickDetector

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
    local gui = plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame
    print("Recived")
    ShowGUI:FireClient(plr, gui) -- Fire the player along
    print("Success")
end)

And put this in the StarterPlayerScript, as a LocalScript.

local RepliactedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ShowGUI = RepliactedStorage:WaitForChild("ShowGUI")

ShowGUI.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, gui)
    gui.Visible = true
end)
