how to enable gui using a normal script in serverscriptservice?

Asked 110 views1 answers

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.
