How to use playerAdded for ScreenGui fade?
So basically I have a script that greets player with black screen when he joins but soon after becomes transparent. It works in StarterGui but it really problematic in editor because it is visible. I want to use the PlayerAdded so that the ScreenGui is put in Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui but I have problems with it. Excuse me for my horrible sentencing.
script:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local gui = Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local blink = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):GetChildren("blink")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
blink:Clone(gui)
end)
error that comes with game start:
ServerScriptService.blinker:2: attempt to index nil with 'PlayerGui' - Server - blinker:2 Stack Begin - Studio Script 'ServerScriptService.blinker', Line 2 - Studio - blinker:2 Stack End - Studio

Is the script you are using a LocalScript or a normal Script? lrd14 0 — 2y

I saw your mistakes.
You put :Clone(gui) AND you used :GetChildren("blink")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local gui = Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local blink = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("blink") -- Use `Instance:WaitForChild(childName) instead (clients dont have access to ServerStorage so I would recommend moving the gui to ReplicatedStorage which both the server and client have access to.)
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
local Clone - blink:Clone() -- A clone creates a new copy of an instance, this can be defined as a variable or done 2 ways
Clone.Parent = gui
--blink:Clone().Parent = gui -- most simplest way
end)
