Why does this script not work which uses remote events?

Asked 204 views1 answers

Hi i took your script and altered it.

--serverscript

local part = workspace.Part
local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local gui = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame

part.Touched:Connect(function(objectThatTouchedMe)
	if objectThatTouchedMe.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local client = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(objectThatTouchedMe.Parent)
		gui.Visible = false
		remoteEvent:FireClient(client)
	end
end)


--localscript

local remotevent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local gui = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame
local function visiblegui ()
	print("recieved remote call")
end

remotevent.OnClientEvent:Connect(visiblegui)

doesnt work can you tell why?

it prints 'recieved remote call' but the frame doesnt disappear.

defining the frame in StarterGui and changing its visibility does nothing. It makes sense that every player has their own GUI so what I mean is that StarterGui is a container that will copy its descendants and parent them to PlayerGui in the PlayerObject.

So instead of this

local GUI = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame

You want to define the PlayerGui and define the Frame from the PlayerGui

local client = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local GUI = client.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame

Do this in the LocalScript

So if you look in your explorer and start the game

-Players

[Player.Name]

     PlayerGui

         ScreenGui

               Frame
