Using Touched and TouchEnded to change value in GUI?
Hello, I was building a brick(CanCollideFalse) where if you step in, a value becomes true, and if you step out, the value becomes false. The below script works perfectly in Studio Test Mode:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(Hit)
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
if Player then
Player.PlayerGui.ComputerGui.Battery.change.charging.Value = true
end
end)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:connect(function(out)
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(out.Parent)
if Player then
Player.PlayerGui.ComputerGui.Battery.change.charging.Value = false
end
end)
... however fails in game with an error stating that on Line 4 and 11: ComputerGui is not a valid member of PlayerGui (when ComputerGui is clearly a child of PlayerGui.)
Maybe it's an issue with Player not being the parent of PlayerGui?
Here's a pic of my StarterGui: http://tinypic.com/r/2qceb7o/9

Scripts can't acces PlayerUI. You'll have to fire a RemoteEvent, which a localscript will trigger from. This way, you can tell a specific client, to do something, so the server doesn't have to do it. (You most likely want to handle anything UI related to the client.)
Example:
--script
Part.Touched:Connect(function(a)
--Check if player
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(a.Parent) then
--The "true" here, is "state" in the localscript. (First argument)
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireClient(game.Players[a.Parent.Name], true)
end
end)
Part.TouchEnded:Connect(function(a)
--Check if player
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(a.Parent) then
--The "false" here, is "state" in the localscript. (First argument)
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireClient(game.Players[a.Parent.Name], false)
end
end)
--localscript
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(state)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ComputerGui.Battery.change.charging.Value = state
end)
