Can't access frame that is in playergui returned through remote function?
I have the remote function:
01 | local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Work.genhud |
02 |
03 | local function genHUD() |
04 | local jobHUD = game.ReplicatedStorage.jobHUD |
05 | local hud = jobHUD:Clone() |
06 | hud.Parent = player.PlayerGui.mainHUD |
07 | return hud |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | event.OnClientInvoke = genHUD |
But whenever I call it in a server script, it says that hud is nil for some reason?
1 | local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Work.genhud |
2 |
3 | script.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
4 |
5 | local hud = event:InvokeClient(player) |
6 | print(hud) |
7 |
8 | end) |
Should I add that this event works perfectly in studio, it just doesn't work in game.

the reason why it's printing nil is because the server can't see a player's gui, rather once it is cloned and you know it's cloned there's no reason to return any value LukeGabrieI 73 — 6y

You can't pass instances through a RemoteEvent or RemoteFunction. You can only pass more primitive datatypes like...
Numbers, Strings, Booleans, Tables, Vectors...
