How do I show my GUI with client and server events?

Asked 191 views1 answers

Hello,

I've been coding a game and I am at the stage where I want everyone to see a GUI when a specific player dies. Here is my script:

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Win = RS:WaitForChild("Win")
local WinGUIEvent = RS:WaitForChild("WinGUIEvent")

Win.OnServerEvent:Connect(function() 
	print("The Target has died")
	WinGUIEvent:FireClient() -- This is the problem
	end
end)

Whenever a player dies the Win event runs. It should then run the WinGUIEvent event but it errors. In the output it says "FireClient: player argument must be a Player object". I assume I should add something between the brackets but I'm not sure what.

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

If you're firing to the client you need to specify which client to send the event to, specifically a player instance

.OnServerEvent has the Player parameter as the first option, prioritising first.

Use that Player parameter

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Win = RS:WaitForChild("Win")
local WinGUIEvent = RS:WaitForChild("WinGUIEvent")

Win.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player) 
    print("The Target has died")
    WinGUIEvent:FireClient(Player) -- This is the problem
    end
end)

Hope this helps you!
