how to enable gui using a normal script in serverscriptservice?

Asked by

I have an on on touch function in a script located in serverscriptservice and I would like to enable a gui in it. I can't figure out how to do this since I only have experience showing guis with local scripts.

Here was my original code which did not work

            local gui = hit.Parent.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("Gui")
            if gui then
                gui.Enabled = true
            end

How would I navigate to the playergui through the ontouch? I have also thought of cloning the gui into the playergui, but I am not sure how I would do that and if that would even work.

Any help or advice is appreciated, thank you

Hit.Parent is the character of the player, not the player instance.

try this instead:

local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
local gui = plr.PlayerGui.Gui

if gui and plr then
    gui.Enabled = true
end

Note: this script was not tested

Using the :Clone() method may be a viable option, or you can fire a RemoteEvent to the Client. NotThatFamouss 605 — 2y
