Why does my GUI not appear?(FE compatible)

Asked 735 views1 answers

Ok so I have this GUI.It shows the players information like currency.So what i want it to do is that I want it to appear when the player clicks on the Button.However,it works in studio.But not in game.When it is tested in game.The output says

Info is not a valid member of playergui

So info is the screengui and what is inside is a frame Which i want it to be visible

I checked it in studio and it was in the right place.I don't know what is wrong.

Local script

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	
	game.ReplicatedStorage.IngameinfoGUIHandler:FireServer()
end)

Script 

game.ReplicatedStorage.IngameinfoGUIHandler.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player) 
	local gui = player.PlayerGui.Info
	if gui.main.Visible == true then
		gui.main.Visible = false 
	elseif
		gui.main.Visible == false then
		gui.main.Visible = true
	end
end)

Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I don't have a lot of knowledge on filtering enabled

I think It should be FireClient() and the Script and Local Script should be swapped around.

You do not need or want remotes, as you can handle this on ONLY the client. So, your localscript should be

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	    local gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Info
	    if gui.main.Visible == true then
	        gui.main.Visible = false 
	    elseif
	        gui.main.Visible == false then
	        gui.main.Visible = true
	    end
end)

Hope this helps!

You need remote events when you need client-server communication and server-client communication. Also, please accept my answer!
