You're using a Server script, which can't access the LocalPlayer. A Server script has no idea who the client is. Every location (Starterpack, PlayerGui, StarterCharacterScripts, StarterPlayerScripts, etc..) that a LocalScript can be placed becomes in some way a descendant or child of a user when your player loads. However, place a LocalScript in workspace and that script is no longer associated with any player, because it's a child of workspace. This, however, doesn't mean you can't get the player from the part you touched.

This goes in a normal/server script.

local part = script.Parent
-- Use WaitForChild() on children
    -- Scripts load before objects online
local shop = part:WaitForChild("shop")
-- Use 'C'onnect
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    -- Make sure hit didn't suddenly get destroyed
    -- Hit is what hit the brick, like your leg. 
    if hit and hit.Parent then 
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if player then
            local char = player.Character
            local humanoid = char:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
            local player_gui = player:findFirstChild("PlayerGui")
            -- Make sure we didn't reset on it and we don't already
                -- have the shop
            if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 and not player_gui:findFirstChild("shop") then 
                local shop_clone = shop:Clone()
                shop_clone.Parent = player_gui
            end
        end
    end
end)

This goes in a normal script inside of the part. You need to use GetPlayerFromCharacter, that way you can clone the GUI into their PlayerGui.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
local gui = script.Parent.ScreenGui:Clone()
gui.Parent = player.PlayerGui
end)

Did you edit my answer at all? You might need to change line three to local gui = script.Parent.shop:Clone() , since your shop gui is named "shop" and not "Screengui". "ScreenGui" was an example. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 6y

You probably have the outdated version of my answer in the script. Delete the contents and copy and paste my updated answer above. I made an accidental typo when I first submitted my answer. I apologize. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 6y

--Sorry I forgot the Humanoid part!

Instructions

1. Place the GUI in the part.

2. place the script in the part

local gui = script.Parent.GUINAME

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent.Name == 'Humanoid' then
        gui:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
    elseif hit.Parent.Name ~= nil then
        gui:Remove().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
    end
end)

That's incorrect. You need to use GetPlayerFromCharacter. You cannot index LocalPlayer from a normal script in the workspace. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 6y

Or you atleast need to get the player who touched the part. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 6y

Are you trying to make mine sound like it doesn't work so you could get upvoted?! Goldenkings11 -11 — 6y

now I made it where if it finds the humanoid that touched the part then it opens it for the localplayer. Goldenkings11 -11 — 6y

That is not the reason. The reason was is because your answer wouldn't work if I beginner tried to use it. Again, LocalPlayer can only be indexed from a LocalScript. Not a server script. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 6y
