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!
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)
Still Doesn't work.
I literally took this script from a working block that does this exact thing, just changed mine from "Insert" to "Carshop" this will work
oops, fixed my mistake sorry LDZ!
Also, hit would be the part that touch the other part. It isn't the player also, it would be the character.
I think this asker is just a troll. We gave him 2 answers that work perfectly and do EXACTLY what he needs them to do, and he downvotes them
Its obviously not the asker, his reputation isn't high enough to downvote
I am not a troll, I didn't downvote anything. I just accepted the answer because I just tried it and it is right, thank you BSI.
Your downvoting me because you think im a troll, nice job...
Maybe it's not him that's the troll. I'm sorry I wrongfully accused you, and even though I didn't downvote all your answers/questions, I'll upvote them.
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!

What's wrong with it? This has to be in a normal Script.
This answer works. There's nothing wrong with it...
This isn't actually the best way to get a player.
