text = Instance.new("TextLabel")
screen = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:IsA("Player") then
screen.Parent = game.StarterGui
text.Parent = game.StarterGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
text.Text = "Welcome"

your entire script is wrong if your game is not in experimental mode, then you need to use a RemoteEvent, that should be parented to game.ReplicatedStorage, but I assume you don't know how to do that so I comment every line in the following script with detailed explanations
Server Script (For creating the remote, and handling the Touched event) The Server Script should be inside the Part.
local NewGui = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") --Create the remote
NewGui.Name = "NewGui" --Name the remote
NewGui.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage --Put the remote in ReplicatedStorage
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit) --When script.Parent is touched, define 'Hit' as what touched it
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent) --Attempt to get the player who touched it, by using the GetPlayerFromCharacter method that gets a player by his character
if Player ~= nil then --If it was really a player that touched it, then
NewGui:FireClient(Player) --Fire the remote on the client
end
end)
Local Script (For handling the Remote, and creating the Gui) The Local Script should be inside StarterGui.
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NewGui").OnClientEvent:connect(function() --When NewGui is triggered by the server script on the player
local ScreenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui") --Create the ScreenGui
local TextLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel") --Create the TextLabel
ScreenGui.Parent = script.Parent --Put the ScreenGui in PlayerGui
TextLabel.Parent = ScreenGui --Put the TextLabel in ScreenGui
TextLabel.Text = "Welcome" --Change the TextLabel's Text
end)
if filtering enabled make a bindable event called openui in replicated storage this script goes in the part
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) if hit.Parent:IsA("Player") then game.ReplicatedStorage.OpenGui:Fire(Hit.Parent.Name) end end)
this goes in a script in server script service
game.ReplicatedStorage.OpenGui.Event:Connect(function(plrName)
text = Instance.new("TextLabel")
screen = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
local plr = game.Players[plrName]
screen.Parent = plr.PlayerGui
text.Parent = Plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
text.Text = "Welcome"
end)
