How To Enable A PlayerGui FE?
Hello! So I have a GUI and I want it to be enabled when a player clicks something. When I run this though, on line 21, I get an issue saying the GUI is not valid. Upon seeing this issue, I looked into the hierarchy of <PlayerGui> and I cannot find where any of the GUIs are. I am using filtering enabled so how can I get the GUI to become enabled?
The rest of the script works so no need to worry.
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local landPurchaseEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
landPurchaseEvent.Name = "LandPurchased"
landPurchaseEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").LandPurchased
local price = 700
local land = game.Workspace.Land1
local function onEvent(player,money)
if player.leaderstats.Money.Value > price - 1 and player.PlayerOwnsLand.Value == false then
player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Money.Value - price -- Assuming it's leadersats in the player
land.Owner.Value = player.Name
land.ForSaleSign.Click.SurfaceGui.Price.Text = ("OWNED BY: "..player.Name)
player.PlayerOwnsLand.Value = true
--land.Sell.Position = Vector3.new(land.Sign.Click.Position.X,land.Sign.Click.Position.Y,land.Sign.Click.Position.Z)
land.ForSaleSign.Click.Script.Disabled = true
print("Purchased")
--
local list = player.PlayerGui.HouseOptionsPlot1
list.Enabled = true
--
else
print("Purchasing Error")
end
end
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(onEvent)

The only way you'll be able to define a Clients guis in a Server Script in Filtering Enabled is using a remote function. Because of this, it would be easier to just have a OnClientEvent in a local script in player guis, like already commented by PreciseLogic.
By using a Remote Function, you can call a players client and have it return what you want to you server script. All you need is a way of defining Player in your ServerScript. You would do something like this:
--In Server Script
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local landPurchaseEvent = Instance.new("RemoteFunction") --Notice this is remote function and not event
landPurchaseEvent.Name = "LandPurchased"
landPurchaseEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local gui = landPurchaseEvent:InvokeClient(player) --This will return the gui from the RequestedPurchaseEvent in your local script, you can now edit gui from here
end)
--In Local Script
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local landPurchaseEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("LandPurchased")
local gui = DEFINEGUIHERE
local function RequestedPurchaseEvent()
return gui
end
landPurchaseEvent.OnClientInvoke = RequestedPurchaseEvent
