Dear Reader,
I am trying to make a script that changes the Parent of my GUI from the PlayerGUI back to the StarterGUI. When I attempt to do so, I got an error.
Please see the following code below.
function PlayerTouched(Part)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGUI.BuyALC.Parent = game.StarterGUI
end
game.Workspace.ALC.RemovePurchase.Touched:connect(PlayerTouched)
I don't know how to fix this and I need help in doing so.
Thank you.
You wrote PlayerGui wrong, also with StarterGui. Remember to just have the words with one caps if there is 2 words connected in a word.
What do you mean by I wrote PlayerGUI wrong? I really don't understand where I messed up man. What should I have used instead of PlayerGUI?
It should be spelled PlayerGui, I think he's thinking about that.
Try using the WaitForChild thing, here
function PlayerTouched(Part)
game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").BuyALC.Parent = game.StarterGUI
end
game.Workspace.ALC.RemovePurchase.Touched:connect(PlayerTouched)
Also make sure this GUI script is a LocalScript cause you're using LocalPlayer.
jesus dude, it's not that, he just wrote the playergui wrong, also it would be quite pointless to have a waitforchild, since when the somebody has touched the part, they're already loaded.
Thank you guys so much. Fako, your script worked. Thank you for informing me about the "WaitForChild" function.
Pretty sure if you do it this way it will only work in studio but not in game, the Touched event should only be used in server scripts.
I cannot really understand what you are trying to do, however you should be accessing the player through the :GetPlayerFromCharacter() function to access a player through a server script which must be used since you are using a .Touched event.
Using game.Players.LocalPlayer WILL NOT WORK in a Server Script, yet if you will put it in a Local Script, the script must always be inside of the client and not on the server, hence, if you will put a local script in a part which is in the workspace, this script will only work while you are in Studio but not in game.
This is how to use the :GetPlayerFromCharacter() function
function PlayerTouched(Part)
if Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local character = Part.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
end
end
workspace.ALC.Touched:connect(PlayerTouched)

Its not
PlayerGUI:, it'sPlayerGui". The Gui is not supposed to be all capital. Also, it is better to wait for PlayerGui. Like this: :WaitForChild("PlayerGui");
