Why doesn't this script clone the GUI to PlayerGui?

Asked 928 views4 answers

Why doesn't this script clone the Gui to PlayerGui? How can this be fixed?

Code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
    local LSystem = plr:WaitForChild("LevelSystem")
    local PStats = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStats")
    local level = LSystem:WaitForChild("Level")
    local points = PStats:WaitForChild("Points")

    level.Changed:Connect(function(val)
        points.Value = 0
        repeat wait () until plr.Character
	local LevelUpCongrats = script.LevelUpCongrats:clone()
	LevelUpCongrats.Parent = plr.PlayerGui 
    end)
end)

switch to :Clone(). clone() was deprecated

Well, this doesn't answer your question directly, but this is a solution. Also, just a tip, handle GUI on the client

IN A LOCAL SCRIPT IN PLAYER

plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local LSystem = plr:WaitForChild("LevelSystem")
    local PStats = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStats")
    local level = LSystem:WaitForChild("Level")
    local points = PStats:WaitForChild("Points")

    level.Changed:Connect(function(val)
        points.Value = 0
        repeat wait () until plr.Character
    local LevelUpCongrats = script.LevelUpCongrats:Clone()
    LevelUpCongrats.Parent = plr.PlayerGui 
-- Extra Bit
wait(5)
LevelUpCongrats:Destroy()
    end)
end)

Also I added a part to destroy the notification after 5 sec. Remove if you want

I tried this but it still isn't working. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I placed the script inside ServerScriptService then I placed the GUI in the script. I tried LocalScript and a normal script.

So what I would do is actually use WaitForChild in order to make this script work. Also just to be cautious, I would put the GUI in ServerStorage.

local SS = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local LevelUp = SS:WaitForChild("LevelUpCongrats")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
local plrgui = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
    local LSystem = plr:WaitForChild("LevelSystem")
    local PStats = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStats")
    local level = LSystem:WaitForChild("Level")
    local points = PStats:WaitForChild("Points")


    level.Changed:Connect(function(val)
        points.Value = 0
        repeat wait () until plr.Character
    local levelgui = LevelUp:Clone()
	levelgui.Parent = plrgui
    end)
end)

Hopefully this helped! (If this didn't I would try converting this into a LocalScript, since this only requires the Player's GUI, not everyone's GUI.)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but it still isn't working?

Did you put the GUI in ServerStorage and the Script in ServerScriptService?

Hey, Professional_Lua beat me to it, but on line 12 change the 

LevelUpCongrats.Parent = plr.PlayerGui

to

LevelUpCongrats.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

By adding WaitForChild, it allows the system to compute .Hopefully this works, if it does, accept this answer, or Professional_Lua's, but I have to say, you and these questions are bumping my excitement for this interesting game. Can't wait to try it! Good luck!

I see, Did u put the local script in player? If not, then do that, and if that doesn't work, than place it in this: Game,StarterScripts, and then the StarterPlayerScripts
