How do I enable a Gui from a normal script? [Solved]

This is probably the most confusing thing in the world for me, and i can never seem to figure it out. Let me just start simple here. I have a script in Workspace and I want it to make a TextLabel inside a ScreenGui visible. I have no clue how to access it from there.

view source
1TextLabel = game.Players.Name.PlayerGui.Regen.TextLabel
2TextLabel.Visible = false
3wait(3)
4TextLabel.Visible = true

I also tried "game.Players.PlayerName.Regen.TextLabel" but still not helping. Anyone know how to do that?

I assume that you want to turn player's TextLabel invisible. Your problem is that you didn't include Player. By doing:

view source
1game.Players.Name.PlayerGui.Regen.TextLabel

You are "telling" the script to find player with name "Name" which doesn't have to exist.

to get player from ServerScript you may use PlayerAdded event

view source
1game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) -- Player Variable
2 
3end)

Now that we have Player variable we can access to the Player's PlayerGui.

The final script:

view source
1game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) -- Player Variable
2local TextLabel = player.PlayerGui.Regen.TextLabel
3TextLabel.Visible = false
4wait(3)
5TextLabel.Visile = true
6end)

Note that this will happen when player joins the game.

To do this whenever you want just use LocalScript.

For Player variable type this:

view source
1local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- This can be used only in LocalScripts

Thank you! This worked for me. By the way, it showed Regen wasn't a valid member of PlayerGui so i did "player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Regen"):FindFIrstChild("TextLabel")" Mayk728 855 — 8y

He just has a small typo "TextLabel.Visile" should be "TextLabel.Visible" I'm pretty sure that should fix it. songboy50 77 — 6y
