Remove() / Destroy() PlayerGui?

Asked 418 views1 answers

I need help destroying 2 player guis! I have 1 playergui (named "Buttons") w/ nothing to know about and another one named "TeleportGui", it has a TextButton inside it. It is named "Ready" I want when I click "Ready" every single PlayerGuis will get removed or destroyed.

Below is a local script inside the textbutton.

-- We need this script to destroy all player guis!!!!

-- Local Script inside the button
local clicked = false

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    if clicked == false then
        clicked = true
        local timer = 10 -- timer is 10 seconds
        local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
        while timer > 0 do -- while the timer is bigger than 0 subtract 1, every second
            wait(1)
            timer = timer - 1
            p.PlayerGui.TeleportGui.TeleportGui.Close.Text = "READ DESC. ("..timer..")" -- changing the text of the button to the cooldown, and indicates the seconds remaining till the gui is removed
        end
        p.PlayerGui.TeleportGui:Destroy()
    end
end)

This is not working! Help!

You didn't specify the problem with the script? What does it do? Does it work partially or not at all? Is there an error in the output?

Instead of p.PlayerGui.TeleportGui:Destroy() you need to get ALL of the players guis, this can be accomplished by the following script.

for _, players in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do -- Get the players
        players.PlayerGui.TeleportGui:Destroy() -- Destroy the Guis
end

Your final script would look like this

local clicked = false -- debounce

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function() -- Remove button clicked
        if clicked == false then
        clicked = true
                for _, p in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do -- Get players
                local timer = 10 
                        while timer > 0 do -- Dont continue until timer gets to 0
                        wait(1)
                        timer = timer - 1
                        p.PlayerGui.TeleportGui.TeleportGui.Close.Text = "READ DESC. ("..timer..")" 
                        end
                p.PlayerGui.TeleportGui:Destroy() -- Destroy the guis
                end
        end
end)
