So, you may have gotten an error... Which you did and obviously, I noticed that you are using the players character to find the playerGui??????

this may not work but will give you an idea VVV

function Touch(PlayersBodyPart)
    local BodyPart = PlayerBodyPart -- using a simpler variable
    local Character = BodyPart.Parent -- the players character
    if Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- if players character exists....
        local player = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(Character.Name) -- this should get the local player
        local GUI = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.OBJECTIVE_1
        GUI.Enabled = true
    end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(Touch)

I'm pretty sure this won't work ^^ Because I don't know how to get localplayer from scripts but i used a good strategy, there is a good chance it will work... Anyways, cya

EDIT: I would put the script as a localscript in startergui

local part = workspace.Part -- must be your part
local GUI = script.Parent.ScreenGui.OBJECTIVE_1

part.Touched:connect(function()
    if GUI.ClassName == "ScreenGui" then
        GUI.Enabled = true
    elseif GUI.ClassName == "Frame" then
        Gui.Visible = true
    end
end

This should work ^ it is untested but i bet it works

I need to see what your gui and part are and then I can make it happen for sure

If this new edit script doesn't work then I can't help you because there would be something wrong with your GUI greatneil80 2647 — 6y

Nope, its not working... Idk why did you put if GUI.ClassName == "ScreenGui" then GUI.Enabled = true elseif GUI.ClassName == "Frame" then Gui.Visible = true ... OBJECTIVE_1 is a ScreenGui... it is not in any other ScreenGui... Nothing is wrong with gui... AswormeDorijan111 531 — 6y

Because you can't enable a frame, you can only make it visible greatneil80 2647 — 6y

local plrName = nil 
local player = nil 

function onTouched(part) -- this is the part that touched the brick
    if (game.Players:FindFirstChild(part.Parent.Name)) then     -- checks if part is a child of Player's Character
        plrName = part.Parent.Name -- sets 'plrName' to the Player's name who touched the brick
        player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrName) -- finds the Player in game.Players
        player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.OBJECTIVE_1.Enabled = true
    end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

What you need to do is reference Players.


function onTouched(hit)

If hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.ScreenGui.OBJECTIVE_1.Enabled = true
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

If you don't, it will error on you

What you were doing is searching inside the part that touched the brick you want to be touched. So if your arm it it, it would search that
