How to change all Player GUIs at once?

Asked by

Hey, how do you create a script that changes all Player GUIs at once in a server? I have tried, but I am only a basic scripter and don't know much at all.

local playerss = game.Players:GetChildren()
local m = playerss.titel.fram.label

while true do
m.Text = "Testing"
end

That's the code I made up, and it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to make scripts that change Player guis?

Hey there Dylan!

So, your playerss variable is a table that was passed in by GetChildren(), and you therefore need to loop through it, like so:

local playerss = game.Players:GetPlayers() -- Just in case there are children that aren't players
while true do
    for i, v in pairs(playerss) do -- loop through players
        local m;
        local playergui = playerss:findFirstChild("PlayerGui"); -- UI is found in the PlayerGui
        if(playergui and playergui:findFirstChild("titel")) then
            if(playergui.titel:findFirstChild("fram")) then
                if(playergui.titel.fram:findFirstChild("label")) then
                    m = playergui.titel.fram.label; -- get label from each playergui
                end
            end
        end
        if(m) then -- make sure the label exists
            m.Text = "Testing"; 
        end
    end
end

I added in a few if-statements so that you could check to make sure that each element existed, and avoid any errors.

Some of the code might be a bit beyond the scope of 'beginner scripting', but I'd urge you to try looking into anything there that you don't fully understand :P
