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.
01 | local NewGui = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") --Create the remote |
02 | NewGui.Name = "NewGui" --Name the remote |
03 | NewGui.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage --Put the remote in ReplicatedStorage |
04 |
05 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit) --When script.Parent is touched, define 'Hit' as what touched it |
06 | 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 |
07 | if Player ~= nil then --If it was really a player that touched it, then |
08 | NewGui:FireClient(Player) --Fire the remote on the client |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
Local Script (For handling the Remote, and creating the Gui) The Local Script should be inside StarterGui.
1 | game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NewGui").OnClientEvent:connect(function() --When NewGui is triggered by the server script on the player |
2 | local ScreenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui") --Create the ScreenGui |
3 | local TextLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel") --Create the TextLabel |
4 | ScreenGui.Parent = script.Parent --Put the ScreenGui in PlayerGui |
5 | TextLabel.Parent = ScreenGui --Put the TextLabel in ScreenGui |
6 | TextLabel.Text = "Welcome" --Change the TextLabel's Text |
7 | end) |
if filtering enabled make a bindable event called openui in replicated storage this script goes in the part
1 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
2 | if hit.Parent:IsA("Player") then |
3 | game.ReplicatedStorage.OpenGui:Fire(Hit.Parent.Name) |
4 | end |
5 | end) |
this goes in a script in server script service
1 | game.ReplicatedStorage.OpenGui.Event:Connect(function(plrName) |
2 | text = Instance.new("TextLabel") |
3 | screen = Instance.new("ScreenGui") |
4 | local plr = game.Players[plrName] |
5 | screen.Parent = plr.PlayerGui |
6 | text.Parent = Plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui") |
7 | text.Text = "Welcome" |
8 | end) |
