So, I'm trying to make a GUI appear for one player. I had an idea to go into the player folder under explorer, find the players name who clicked the GUI, and open the GUI for them. I keep on getting a error. Any help?
local name = plr.Character.Name
Button2.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
game.Players.name.PlayerGui.TrailGUI.Main.Visible = true
end)
Error: Workspace.TrailGUI:151: attempt to index field 'Character' (a nil value)
Perhaps the character hasn't loaded yet at runtime. You want to yield to make sure that the character exists before proceeding using CharacterAdded:Wait(). Also, what you've done on line 3 won't work because saying game.Players.name will look for a name property of game.Players, it won't look for the value of name.
Here's what you can do instead:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local trailGui = playerGui:WaitForChild("TrailGUI")
local main = trailGui:WaitForChild("Main")
Button2.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() -- changed connect to Connect because connect is deprecated
main.Visible = true
end)
Hope this helps! :)
