You need to find hit.Parent's name and use findFirstChild in Players to find the player. You can then access PlayerGui.
01 | debounce=false |
02 | local sp=script.Parent |
03 | function T(hit) |
04 | debounce=true |
05 | local char=hit.Parent |
06 | local players=game:GetService("Players") |
07 | local player=players:findFirstChild(char.Name) |
08 |
09 | local gui=player.PlayerGui.(GUINAMEHERE) |
10 | wait(1) |
11 | debounce=false |
12 | --do whatever here |
13 | end |
You're welcome.

You can use Parameters to access the Player while using a touch event. I post a example on How to use Parameters below:
1 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(Player) |
2 | print(Player.Parent.Name)--This prints out the name of the Player who "activated" the script. |
3 | game.Players[Player.Parent.Name].PlayerGui-- Add the Gui Path here. |
4 | end) |
Here more information about Parameters
You can also use GetPlayerFromCharacter() to get the Player from the Character. Here's a example on how to use it.
1 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(Player) |
2 | local Character = game.Workspace.Player |
3 | local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character) |
4 | print(plr.Name) |
5 | plr.PlayerGui-- Put the Path of the Gui here |
6 | end) |
If you want information about GetPlayerFromCharacter()

game.Players[Player.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Script.Disabled = false won't do anything. :( Nidoxs 190 — 10y

I use this script myself works everytime.
01 | local gui = script["put gui inside of script"] |
02 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
03 | local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
04 | if plr and not plr.PlayerGui:findFirstChild(gui.Name) then |
05 | local cl = gui:Clone() |
06 | cl.Parent = plr.PlayerGui |
07 | coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function() |
08 |
09 | local human = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
10 | --Basically this just checks to see if it is a real player touching this brick. |
11 | if (human ~= nil) then --If it is a real player, then DESTROY THEM! |
12 | human.Health = 0 --Your Health Is Now 0. |
13 | end |
14 | wait(5) |
15 | for i = 0, 1,.1 do |
