This error came from two scripts.

is not working in the real game

Error: ScreenGui is not a valid member of PlayerGui

all of these scripts are in a regular script in ServerScriptService.

and please dont tell me to indent, i would have to redo the scripts, and this took me 2 days bossay6 62 — 7y

:WaitForChild() creeperhunter76 554 — 7y

wait for child gives me a "yeild" error or something like that bossay6 62 — 7y

Indent? There's an auto indent feature on ROBLOX studio which is automatically on, and it takes more time to delete those indents. I suggest you take a look in my bio. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

nah, im dont using it. i just need this dang script working. there is no indenting errors bossay6 62 — 7y

Indenting are just whitespaces when the code is being ran, but indenting makes it neater. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

I'm pretty sure you need to locate the object in the PlayerGui first.

Revised 1st Script lines 5-8

1for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren())do
2local gui= v.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui")
3    gui.ColorFrame.Visible = false
4    gui.TextLabel.Visible = true
5    game.ReplicatedStorage.Text.Value = "Nobody Survived!"
6    end

Revised 2nd Script lines 29-32

1for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren())do
2local gui = v.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui")
3    gui.TextLabel.Visible = false
4    gui.ColorFrame.Visible = true
5end

If this doesn't solve your problem, please be more specific in the question you are asking like the error messages coming from it. If it's saying its nil or something.

Also if this doesn't work, make sure you name things in the StarterGui different things if there is more than one ScreenGui.

none of these worked. bossay6 62 — 7y

Think about it. Your browser shows you the images and text and this answer on your computer, not here. The server cannot do that, since your computer's display is on YOUR computer. So, handle UI work on your computer!

what? bossay6 62 — 7y

this isn't helping me, i do not work with websites, i work with roblox bossay6 62 — 7y

ROBLOX is like websites. Your computer still has your display you are looking at. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

dude cant you clearly see the problem? the gui isn't showing, i dont need this website stuff bossay6 62 — 7y

Yes you do since you clearly don't understand what is in your computer and what is not. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

You need to at least think about what I am saying so you can learn from your mistakes. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

HOW DO I THINK ABOUT IT IF IM CONFUSED OUT IT bossay6 62 — 7y

Make a pastebin and show me the answers for the quiz i made right here https://pastebin.com/UZZsV8xZ hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y
