GUI Cloning But Locking its Local Parent?

Asked 195 views1 answers

All I want is when you click on a part you see the GUI and you can use it. The first time you click it works but perfectly fine. The second time it reads this:

08:27:11.682 - The Parent property of CardGiverGui is locked, current parent: NULL, new parent PlayerGui 08:27:11.683 - Stack Begin 08:27:11.683 - Script 'Workspace.Part.Script', Line 5 08:27:11.684 - Stack End

My Script:

GUI = script.Parent.CardGiverGui

function onClicked()
	GUI:Clone()
	GUI.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

You have to clone it and then put that clone inside the player. You have cloned it but then put the original into the player. Let's fix it.

local Gui = script.Parent.CardGiverGui

function onClicked()
    local GUI = Gui:Clone()
    GUI.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

Now, if you want it so they only get it if they don't have the Gui already then use this code; (It will make it so they don't have loads of Gui's)

local Gui = script.Parent.CardGiverGui
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

function onClicked()
    local GUI = Gui:Clone()
    if plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("GUI NAME") then
	 	--Do nothing
	else
	   GUI.Parent = plr.PlayerGui
	end
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
