Help with deleting a gui by clicking on a part?
I want to make it to where if you click a part, the gui would go away/ destroyed. My current script doesn't work. Here it is:
function onClicked(playerWhoClicked)
local guiName = game.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.GameName -- Game name gui
wait(0.1)
guiName:Destroy()
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
The error says:
**LocalPlayer is not a valid member of DataModel
Help?

First off, to use "LocalPlayer", you need to be looking in players. Example:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- NOT just game.LocalPlayer
Second of all, I do recommend making this work using remote events. However, here is what I believe you need to do
function onClicked(playerWhoClicked)
local guiName = playerWhoClicked.PlayerGui.GameName -- Game name gui, assuming everything is spelled correctly
if guiName ~= nil then -- just making sure it's there
wait() -- There is no point of waiting 1/10 seconds, just give it a wait() so it catches up.
guiName:Destroy() --now it's removed
end -- an extra end is now added
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

The wait is pointless but the rest looks OK. User#11440 120 — 7y

Yeah I've always been told that. The wait() is really useless unless in a loop. But it's a personal preference, I for whatever reason think it helps iamnoamesa 674 — 7y

LocalPlayer is a child of Players
Use game.Players.LocalPlayer instead.

LocalPlayer is not a valid member of DataModel like it says. It should be game.Players.LocalPlayer, not just game.LocalPlayer
