The comments I put are the lines to focus on. Solutions i have tried: RemoteEvents If BoolValue == true statements Just doing it from the actual script

This is NOT a localscript and the location of this script is in a folder in ServerScriptService

It doesn't work because you are trying to call StarterGui and GUIs can only be edited via a LocalScript. StarterGui replicates to the LocalPlayer. If you want to call your GUI via a server script you must do:

1game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) 
2player.PlayerGui.(GUI NAME AND THINGS HERE) 
3end) 

I want this to happen if the lava is rising, I want it to tell you what "disaster" will or is happening, and I want to end right when the disaster is over, how would I do this? would I use a boolvalue? ym5a 52 — 3y

Nvm I figured it out thanks for this block though it helped ym5a 52 — 3y
