Part that is supposed to be clicked doesn't dispense the GUI?[Answered]

Asked 201 views1 answers

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to dispense a GUI when a certain part is clicked, but it simply doesn't work.

Please check for my mistakes as I'm certainly not the best at scripting. (I dont even understand my mistake)

local btn = script.Parent

local clickde = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ClickDetector

clickde.MouseClick:Connect(function(playerWhoClicked)

local h = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(playerWhoClicked)

if h then

local newgui = script.ScreenGui:Clone()

newgui.Parent = h.PlayerGui
		
		
		
end

	
end)

Thanks!

Is the clickde under the part?

Clickde is a child of the part.

The PlayerGui is client-side, and is invisible to server scripts, so if I'm correct, it should work in a local script.

I used a normal script to dispense GUIs to Players before, through that one is far more complex.

You cannot access PlayerGui through ServerScript when FE is turned on. Use Remote events or LocalScripts

FE is off.

Axceed and Sam you're both wrong, you cannot access it, that's true, but you can clone to it or set a parent to it

The problem with your script is that you assume that click is the same as hit.

You try to get a player from a character but 'playerwhoclicked' isn't a character, it's the player.

A simple fix would be

local btn = script.Parent

local clickde = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ClickDetector

clickde.MouseClick:Connect(function(click)
	local newgui = script.ScreenGui:Clone()
	newgui.Parent = click:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
end)

If this still doesn't work, set a comment, but it would be most likely a problem in variables then and not a problem in player detection.
