How do you edit a PlayerGUI?

Asked by

**THIS SCRIPT IS SUPPOSED TO RUN WHEN A PART HITS IT, NOT A PLAYER. ITS SUPPOSED TO SHOW A GUI ON THE PLAYER'S SCREEN WHEN A PART HITS ANOTHER PART**

This script won't work; I know why. I just dont know how to fix it.

function onTouched(hit)
    hit:Destroy()
    game.Workspace.Winner.Disabled = false
    game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.YouBeatTheLevel.Visible = true
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

The issue is on Line 4. I am going to the StarterGUI rather than the PlayerGUI. Please note that there will only be one player in this game at one time. If you could fix this, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you!

In order to do what you want you would do something like this and access the player by going through the child of Players.

function onTouched(hit)
    hit:Destroy()
    game.Workspace.Winner.Disabled = false
    for _, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
        v.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.YouBeatTheLevel.Visible = true
    end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Wouldn't you use GetPlayers(), rather than GetChildren()? Relatch 550 — 9y

Both would work but I've always used :GetChildren() FearMeIAmLag 1161 — 9y

You cant change a players active gui through startergui you need to use playergui, so with that said here is the fixed code:

function onTouched(hit)
local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local ply = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
local k = ply.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui")
hit:Destroy()
workspace.Winner.Disabled = false
k.YouBeatTheLevel.Visible = true
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Hope i helped you!
