How to access the a player's audio in gui on a touched event?
So what I'm trying to do is have it to where the player touches a part, and audio will play inside of the player's gui. It all works find, but once started in player it says that line 9 is a nil value. Anyone know how to fix this?
local buttonPressed = false
function onTouch(hit)
if not buttonPressed then
buttonPressed = true
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local user = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if user then
local startui = user:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui")
if startui then
startui.StartRace:Play()
end
end
end
buttonPressed = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

You need to do this from the client. Put a LocalScript in StarterGui, put the StartRace Sound object in the LocalScript.
Get the character object from the LocalPlayer, and check if the object that touched the part is a descendant of it. This will tell you if the character touched it.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer --The Player
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() --Character
local audio = script:WaitForChild("StartRace") --Audio
local buttonPressed = false
function onTouch(hit)
if not buttonPressed then
buttonPressed = true
if hit:IsDescendantOf(char) then --If character touched
audio:Play() --Play audio
end
buttonPressed = false;
end
end
--Below is object to touch.
