For more in depth in the question I was working on a script that involved PlayerGui when I noticed that after typing in the regular game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui I played in the Roblox studio Testing server with two players and it errored and said that PlayerGui is not a valid member of Player and I was a bit confused since it worked for one client(Player1) but not the other(Player2) I opened properties on both clients and to my surprise found that on the clients side that PlayerGui wasnt there for Player2 and another crazy thing is that the PlayerScripts weren't there either I checked on the server itself and it was there, I ended up deleting all my scripts thinking that maybe one of them destroyed one of the players screen on join or something like that, but no solution, I created another place and the same thing happened, is this some sort of Roblox setting that I turned on accidentally by pressing some sort of hotkey? Someone please help me!!!!!11!!!!1!!1!!1!1!!! Also the Gui does show on both sides its just that when I look in properties it just wont show for the clients and when I have something as a local script calling in from game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui it will just error, I can't paste anything in the player clientside and I tried just making a new game and transfering all my data but it just wont work

Did you put the gui in startergui?
@thecelestialcube yes I had the gui there with the screenGui all that good stuff it just only appears on one of the clients, but the weird thing is that i can't paste anything inside it and it shows in the server but it just wont on client its so weird, Ive tried just making a new game but nothing
@thecelestialcube let me rephrase that the Gui does show on both sides its just that when I go to properties that's where it just wont show
Much like how ServerScriptService's contents disappear from a non-Server POV due to inaccessibility from the Client, the PlayerGui container within Studio appears to vanish due to the fact that you cannot modify any other Client's UI aside from your own.
If you wish to see the other Player's UI, you must switch over to their view.
@Ziffixture tysm I didn't know this was a feature
It's not a feature, it's simply due to the restrictions of a Client-Server model.
