How do you change a gui with a Remote Event?

Asked 1,284 views1 answers

Hello, I am trying to create a script that makes a health bar go down after a sand block gets clicked. Here is the server script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeSandGui.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, x)
local part = game.Workspace.Sand[x]
part.Health.Value = part.Health.Value - 2
local val = part.Health.Value
local value = val/10
player.PlayerGui.SandHealth.Frame.TextLabel:TweenSize( UDim2.new(value,0, 1,0))
if val <= 0 then
	wait(.9)
	part:Destroy()
end
end)

When I test it in studio, everything works. When I play on a normal server, the output says "SandHealth is not a valid member of PlayerGui". Any ideas why it isn't working?

You can't access the PlayerGui from the server in FE. User remotes to update the GUI.

Thanks for the replies. This is a script fired by a remote event that’s why I have no idea how this will work

You really don't need the server side at all.

As hiim said, you don't need to use remote events, as you can do it all on the client. For example, instead of getting the sand block through the script's Parent, you could do something like this in a local script:

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if mouse.Target and mouse.Target.Name == "SandBlockNameHere" then
		--reduce health bar
	end
end)
