How to use GUI's with filtering enabled?

Asked 574 views1 answers

Hello, I want to make a script (server script not local because then no one can see the hat) but the only problem is this script won't work in test but it works in play mode. I want that this work when you click on the gui you get this hat that everyone can see on server side not client side.

Ps. this is a server script in startergui but i think server scripts don't work in startergui.

function die()
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
if player.Character:FindFirstChild(Hat")then
	else
	local arm = player.Character.Head
	local rift = game.ServerStorage.Hat:Clone()
	rift.Parent = player.Character
	rift.Head.Anchored = false
	local w = Instance.new("Weld")
	w.Name = "Weld"
	w.Parent = player.Character.Torso
	w.Part0 = rift.Head
	w.Part1 = arm
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(die)

Use RemoteEvent

You need to use a remote event, and no, scripts do not work in GUIs with filtering enabled

an example for the local script would be; 

function die()
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
if player.Character:FindFirstChild(Hat")then
    else
    game.Workspace.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(die)

Server script; 

game.Workspace.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player)
    local arm = player.Character.Head
    local rift = game.ServerStorage.Hat:Clone()
    rift.Parent = player.Character
    rift.Head.Anchored = false
    local w = Instance.new("Weld")
    w.Name = "Weld"
    w.Parent = player.Character.Torso
    w.Part0 = rift.Head
    w.Part1 = arm
end)

this should work, if it doesn't just comment your questions, accept the answer if it did, it gives us both rep!

Thank you it worked but can you do this also for a gear?

Provided you give the gear on the server: yes, the same principles apply.
