GUI giver OnClick working perfectly in studio, but not in game server?

Asked 218 views1 answers

So my GUI is working perfectly fine in studio, but not in game. the Server log Error in game reads:

Workspace.Part.Script:5: attempt to index field "LocalPlayer" (a nil value)

Here is my script

local Gui = script.Parent.CardGiverGui

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

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

The problem is that only a local script has access to the property LocalPlayer.

The MouseClick event passes the player who clicked it as an arg.

Example(Server Script):-

local Gui = script.Parent.CardGiverGui

function onClicked(plrWhoClicked)
	-- you might also want to check if they have the gui
   Gui:Clone().Parent = plrWhoClicked.PlayerGui
end

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

I hope this help.
