How do you get the PlayerGui in players?

Asked by

So I have this

    players = game.Players:GetChildren()
        count = game.StarterGui.countdown
        counting = count:Clone()
        counting.Parent = players.PlayerGui

    wait(.5)
        players.PlayerGui.countdown.Frame.Visible = true

countdown is a Gui that I want to be visible when it activates. So uh, am I doing it right?

Your code was a bit off.

You need to add a for loop to check all the players.

players = game.Players:GetChildren()
for index, value in pairs(players) do --Special function that checks all children of the players
    count = game.StarterGui.countdown
    counting = count:Clone()
    counting.Parent = value:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")--Waits for the PlayerGui to load
    value:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").countdown.Frame.Visible = true 
end
