Problem, It's not accessing the player/playergui
This is a regular script in the worksapce
1 | script.ActivateRespawn.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player) |
2 | print(34134) -- Only thing that is printed |
3 | player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild('ActivateRespawn').Disabled = false |
4 | wait(.5) |
5 | player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild('ActivateRespawn').Disabled = true |
6 | print(34134) |
7 |
8 | end) |

Seems like the child is never found, does 'ActivateRespawn' exist (with that exact spelling) in the PlayerGui? BlackJPI 2658 — 8y

The client actually does the cloning of all the GUI elements from StarterGui into the PlayerGui. You might find this counterintuitive, and you might think that the server should do it, but it won't. As a result, the elements in the PlayerGui are never replicated to the server.
On that note, it's bad practice to be manipulating GUI elements on the server anyway; Just tell the client to do it.
