Why is my script not finding a GUI in PlayerGui? Why does it not work in game, but in Studio also?
This script that I made is supposed to tween a Frame in a GUI when you touch a brick, but I keep getting this error:
attempt to index a nil value.
This makes no sense, because the GUI is in "PlayerGui". Also this script works in studio and not in the game itself..
script.parent.Touched:Connect(function(m)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(m.Parent);
wait(0.1)
player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Teleport").Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,0,0), "Out", "Linear", 1)
end
Any help would be appreciated.

Use a LocalScript to handle guis theCJarmy7 1293 — 5y

This is because in line 1, it’s script.Parent, not script.parent.
You also tried to modify the GUI in the server, which is a huge no no.
You must use a RemoteEvent and fire it to the client if they touch your block.
-- LocalScript
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
remote.Name = "TweenGui"
remote.Parent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").Teleport.Frame:TweenPosition(
UDim2.new(), -- your position got cut off so put it here
Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- use this instead of "Out"
Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, -- here too

)
end)
Now for the server code:
-- ServerScript
local rep = game:GetService"ReplicatedStorage"
local plrs = game:GetService"Players"
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
local plr = plrs:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if plr then
rep.TweenGui:FireClient(plr)
end
end)

Wow I really should have gave you the rest of the script, because none of this works with the rest of it xD kittonlover101 201 — 5y
