When you step on a block, how do you make it so my GUI pops up?

Asked by

I have a car shop GUI I have made and I want it to open up by stepping on a part. I have a part down and a local script. The local script has

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function()
 local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
 player.PlayerGui.Carshop.Frame.Visible = true
end)

Technically, I'm not allowed to post scripts, but I'm going to do it anyway, and explain what each part does.

--make sure that this script is directly in the part

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part) --touched event
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(part.Parent.Name) --if the player steps on it, the player will exist. if, say, a random block touches it, "player" will be nil
if player then --makes sure player exists
player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("CarShop"):FindFirstChild("Frame").Visible = true --makes the GUI visible
end
end)

And there you have it. If you have any questions, comment. Please accept the answer and upvote if the answer is useful!

What's wrong with it? This has to be in a normal Script. yumtaste 476 — 9y

This isn't actually the best way to get a player. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 9y

The script doesn't know who the player is, so you need an argument for that

function Touch(hit) --hit is your argument, hit is the player that touched the block
    game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name).PlayerGui.Carshop.Frame.Visible = true
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(Touch)

I literally took this script from a working block that does this exact thing, just changed mine from "Insert" to "Carshop" this will work BSIncorporated 640 — 9y

Also, hit would be the part that touch the other part. It isn't the player also, it would be the character. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 9y

LocalScripts must be a child of a child of parent. Or in a character. So we need to put this in a REGULAR SCRIPT.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(character)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character.Parent) then
 local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character.Parent)
 player.PlayerGui.Carshop.Frame.Visible = true
end)

We also used the :GetPlayerFromCharacter() function. In the parameter you need the add the character. Regular scripts can't use LocalPlayer.

You didn't have anything in the parameter because it was a local script. Now we use the parameter here to check if it's a player(parameter was character). We also use the parameter to find the character.

I Hope this Helps!
