Why can't I access PlayerGui in players?
My script is supposed to make things inside a GUI active so that players can see if they won/lost the game.
The giving of XP works, but for some reason, the game won't access PlayerGui (Is it even possible to access in the first place?)
Everything is named correctly
Can someone please help me? Here's the script:
function EndGame()
local player = game.Players:getPlayers()
for i = 1, #player do
if player[i].TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Bright green") then
player[i].PlayerGui.EndGameGUI.Frame.Victory.Visible = true
player[i].Other.XP.Value = player[i].Other.XP.Value + 300
elseif player[i].TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Bright red") then
player[i].PlayerGui.EndGameGUI.Frame.Defeat.Visible = true
player[i].Other.XP.Value = player[i].Other.XP.Value + 150
end
end
end

If you have the FilteringEnabled property in the workspace set to true, then the server will not be able to access the player's PlayerGui. When this property is set to true, the playergui will not replicate to the server and only the client will have access to it. If you want to access it then you should either turn off FilteringEnabled (wouldn't recommend) or use remote events to communicate with the client and change their playerguis.
Example: Create a remote event in replicatedstorage
--Server Script
local event = game:GetService'ReplicatedStorage':WaitForChild'RemoteEvent'
function EndGame()
event:FireAllClients("end")
end
--Local Script
local event = game:GetService'ReplicatedStorage':WaitForChild'RemoteEvent'
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
event.OnClientEvent:connect(function(arg)
if arg == "end" then
if player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Bright green") then
player.PlayerGui.EndGameGUI.Frame.Victory.Visible = true
player.Other.XP.Value = player.Other.XP.Value + 300
elseif player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Bright red") then
player.PlayerGui.EndGameGUI.Frame.Defeat.Visible = true
player.Other.XP.Value = player.Other.XP.Value + 150
end
end
end
