I tried to copy a gui from a part when someone touched it, but it says a error?

Asked 202 views1 answers

Here is the code I have inside of the part.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local gui = storage:WaitForChild("HomeGui")

workspace:FindFirstChild("House1"):FindFirstChild("Doors"):FindFirstChild("Door1").Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
		gui:FindFirstChild("House1"):Clone().Parent = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
		workspace:FindFirstChild("House1"):FindFirstChild("Doors"):FindFirstChild("Door1"):FindFirstChild("Script").Disabled = true
	end
end)

And the error is: 17:47:59.182 - Workspace.House1.Doors.Door1.Script:7: attempt to index upvalue 'player' (a nil value)

So I see it is "player = game.Players.LocalPlayer" If it's a ServerScript, that won't work. Also, if it is a LocalScript, you might need to edit it.

Try this:

local storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local gui = storage:WaitForChild("HomeGui")

workspace:FindFirstChild("House1"):FindFirstChild("Doors"):FindFirstChild("Door1").Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
	local player= game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        gui:FindFirstChild("House1"):Clone().Parent = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
        workspace:FindFirstChild("House1"):FindFirstChild("Doors"):FindFirstChild("Door1"):FindFirstChild("Script").Disabled = true
    end
end)

(local player only works with LocalScripts, this script will detect the player by it's character.)
