When somone touches the chest nothing happens,I want it to display a gui, What is the problem?
I have a part surrounding the chest and then a script inside of it. But Nothing happens. I want the GUI to appear and then if you walk to it again it gets closed.
01 | local storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage") |
02 | local gui = storage.CarUI |
03 | local part = workspace.ChestTrigger |
04 | local deb = false |
05 | local path = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CarUI |
06 |
07 | part.Touched:connect(function() |
08 | if (deb == false) then |
09 | gui:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui |
10 | wait(2) |
11 | deb = true |
12 | elseif (deb == true) then |
13 | path:Destroy() |
14 | deb = false |
15 | end |
16 | end) |
PLEASE help me.

I suggest making a button on your gui to close it, because Touching the part will be inaccurate.
- You cannot access the
LocalPlayerfrom server scripts. You have to retrieve the player based on who touched the Part using theGetPlayerFromCharacterfunction.
01 | local gui = game.ServerStorage.CarUI |
02 | local part = workspace.ChestTrigger |
03 | local deb = false |
04 |
05 | part.Touched:connect(function(hit) --'hit' is the part that touched |
06 | if not db then |
07 | db = true |
08 | local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
09 | --If player exists, and gui doesn't |
10 | if plr and not plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild(gui.Name) then |
11 | gui:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui --Clone it |
12 | end |
13 | db = false |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
A close button for a gui would use the MouseButton1Down event in a LocalScript, and look like this:
1 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() --button clicked |
2 | script.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy() --destroy ScreenGui |
3 | end) |

Can't I do a touch ended function? RootEntry 111 — 8y

You can but due to physics Touched and TouchEnded events would fire a bunch. If you really don't want an 'x' button on your UI, PM me on discord i'll walk you through what you can do alternatively. Goulstem 8144 — 8y
