Trying to make a few Gui frames visible on touched, why isn't it working?

Asked by

Inserted in a serverscript inside the brick

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(Hit)
    local H = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if H then
        local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
        Player.PlayerGui.guiMain.frmBackground.Visible = true
        Player.PlayerGui.guiMain.frmPrelims.Visible = true
        Player.PlayerGui.guiMain.frmStep3.Visible = true
    end
end)

(I got this from the forums 4 years ago)

If the gui's are from startergui they will only exist on the client. Check the errors in output for more info. I suggest you use a localscript to edit any guis gullet 471 — 5y

I tried a localscript aswell, it didn't show any errors but also didn't work. c5or 8 — 5y

If there are no errors then it's either working (but not as intended) or not running. Try printing something on line 1 to see if it is. If it's not running it's either disabled or misplaced, check the wiki articles on script types to see where they can run. gullet 471 — 5y

Local script wont work because localscripts dot run is they are in the workspace and serverscripts cant access playergui, you have to use remoteEvents aazkao 787 — 5y

This is how I would do your script I believe I did what you tried once and it didn't work but this might so try it.

local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h then
local Pllayer = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name] -- This will see who is touching the part
        Player.PlayerGui.guiMain.frmBackground.Visible = true
        Player.PlayerGui.guiMain.frmPrelims.Visible = true
        Player.PlayerGui.guiMain.frmStep3.Visible = true
    end
end)

Try this.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit, player)
    local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if h then
        local PlayerGui = player.PlayerGui
        PlayerGui.guiMain.frmBackground.Visible = true
        PlayerGui.guiMain.frmPrelims.Visible = true
        PlayerGui.guiMain.frmStep3.Visible = true
    end
end)

Doesn't work, doesn't even show any errors. (in studio or in-game) c5or 8 — 5y

Oh.. Can you try using a local script for me? Put in local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer and local playergui = player.PlayerGui User#22722 20 — 5y

Still doesn't work and doesn't show any error logs, is there anywhere else in the Explorer I can put the script? c5or 8 — 5y

Is the frame in a screengui? Are the tick boxes checked visible? Also depending on how you want the player to interact with with the gui, ABK2017 406 — 5y

Certain events aren’t available to a frame or textlabel the way they are with say a text button. ABK2017 406 — 5y
