How do I access the PlayerGui from a part in Workspace?

Asked 261 views1 answers

This LocalScript is supposed to change some values in PlayerGui when a ClickDetector is clicked.

function questComplete(player)
	if player.PlayerGui.PlayerQuests.InceptionTime.InProgress.Value == true then
		player.PlayerGui.PlayerQuests.InceptionTime.InProgress.Value = false
		player.PlayerGui.PlayerQuests.InceptionTime.Complete = true
		player.PlayerGui.Quests.QuestList.List.InceptionTime.InProgress.Visible = false
		player.PlayerGui.Quests.QuestList.List.InceptionTime.Complete.Visible = true
	elseif player.PlayerGui.PlayerQuests.InceptionTime.Complete.Value == true then
		player.PlayerGui.Quests.AlreadyComplete.Visible = true
			wait(5)
		player.PlayerGui.Quests.AlreadyComplete.Visible = false
	end
end

script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(questComplete)

Thank you in advance for any help you may provide :)

Since its a localscript, you could just use game.Players.LocalPlayer [If you have FE on that is]. If you dont have FE on, just replace player with game.Players.LocalPlayer but instead add "if player ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer then return end" to the beginning.

Because its hard to understand from a comment, try looking at this:

function questComplete(plr)
  local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
  if plr ~= player then return end
    if player.PlayerGui.PlayerQuests.InceptionTime.InProgress.Value == true then
        player.PlayerGui.PlayerQuests.InceptionTime.InProgress.Value = false
        player.PlayerGui.PlayerQuests.InceptionTime.Complete = true
        player.PlayerGui.Quests.QuestList.List.InceptionTime.InProgress.Visible = false
        player.PlayerGui.Quests.QuestList.List.InceptionTime.Complete.Visible = true
    elseif player.PlayerGui.PlayerQuests.InceptionTime.Complete.Value == true then
        player.PlayerGui.Quests.AlreadyComplete.Visible = true
            wait(5)
        player.PlayerGui.Quests.AlreadyComplete.Visible = false
    end
end

script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(questComplete)

Since your using a localscript, you can access the local player through game.Players.LocalPlayer

I also added the if plr ~= player then return end to ensure that it doesn't change when someone else touches the block.

Hopefully this clears it for you.
