Trying to make gui progress bar but I dont know how to get the player?
I am trying to make a backpack gui so you know how much you hold. I have a Script inside of the Bar frame.
To get the player you can't do game.Players.LocalPlayer because it's a script and not a local script. How do I get the player?
Script:
1 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.Values.PlayerItemHolds.Changed:connect(function() |
2 | local prog = player.Values.PlayerItemHolds |
3 | prog.Value = prog.Value + 1 |
4 | script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(prog.Value/100, 0, 1, 0), "In", "Bounce", .1) |
5 | if prog == 10 then |
6 | prog = 0 |
7 | end |
8 | end) |

There are a few other ways of getting a player in a global script. You can use this loop to get all players:
01 | --Do not forget to make this loop refresh every time a player leaves or joins |
02 |
03 | Global Script: |
04 |
05 | function LoopCheck() |
06 | for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do |
07 | v.Values.PlayerItemHolds.Changed:connect(function() |
08 | local prog = player.Values.PlayerItemHolds |
09 | prog.Value = prog.Value + 1 |
10 | script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(prog.Value/100, 0, 1, 0), "In", "Bounce", .1) |
11 | if prog == 10 then |
12 | prog = 0 |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
15 | end |
16 | end |
Or if you don't want to check every player one-by-one, you can use a remote event. What you will do is simple, you will fire the server from the client. You will need two scripts this time, and a remote event.
Global Script:
01 | local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent") --You have to create a remote event manually in order for this to work |
02 |
03 | Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) |
04 | local prog = player.Values.PlayerItemHolds |
05 | prog.Value = prog.Value + 1 |
06 | script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(prog.Value/100, 0, 1, 0), "In", "Bounce", .1) |
07 | if prog == 10 then |
08 | prog = 0 |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
Local Script:
1 | local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent") --You have to create a remote event manually in order for this to work |
2 |
3 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.Values.PlayerItemHolds.Changed:connect(function() |
4 | Event:FireSrver() |
5 | end) |
