ClickDetector Running a LocalScript for a Gui?

Asked 520 views1 answers

This one is a bit of a follow-up from my previous question. I've got a script that makes a Frame with Text appear when a block is clicked (locally, by the way) but for a ClickDetector, I'm pretty sure you can only use a script. So how do I make the script, when noticed the click from the ClickDetector, run the LocalScript? Here's my current Server Script:

local Gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TextInteractions.ComputerText
	
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	function onClicked ()
	Gui.Visible = true
	wait(3)
	Gui.Visible = false
end
end)

Please point out if things are incorrectly written, by the way! I'm newer to scripting.

LocalScripts cannot be used in the workspace. And don't use LocalPlayer for this method. Also, do not use another function within the mouseclick function, it's just a waste of time.

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
local gui = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.ComputerText --wherever it is
gui.Visible = true
wait(3)
gui.Visible = false
end)

Please accept my answer if this helped!

I also remember you asking this before... why did you ask the same question?
