I have a problem! I want to click on a part and then I want a click detector to open a gui in the player's PlayerGui Folder. But I don't know how to find the right player! Please help me someone
This code is inside a LocalScript which is in a ClickDetector which is in a part
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.ImageLabel.Visible = true
end)
For first insert RemoteEvent into replicatedstorage and replace the localscript inside the clickdetector to script and type in this
Other answers are bad
local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Example") --your RE name here
local CD = script.Parent
CD.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)
Event:FireClient(Player) --Firing to player
end)
Now insert a localscript inside the starterGui and type in
local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Example") --your RE name here
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ImageLabel = Player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.ImageLabel
Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() --this script starting work, when player clicked on the clickdetector
ImageLabel.Visible = true
end)
Maybe try this
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
if player.Name == "Name here” then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.ImageLabel.Visible = true
end
end)
This way, the if statement checks who clicked the click detector.If the person who clicked the click detector and his name was what’s in the "..." then it will continue to run the code.Hope this helps.
Also make sure the script is a local script.
But I don't know who will play the game. So I don't know the names
Like I said, it will check who clicked it so you don’t have to worry.
But in the if player.name == "Here I need a name"
Yeah what person do you want in there?What name?
Anyone will be able to play it. I don't know the name on everyone who will play my game
Let me explain it, If player.Name == “badcc”, well if badcc is not in the server ANYONE that clicks it will not work.Only the person in the if player.Name == “...” will work.
Yeah i understand that, but i want anoyone to be able to click it
Then you don’t need the if statement, PS: just remove the second line.
I've already tried that, doesn't work
Check for errors.
You want to find the player connected to the character that is clicking the ClickDetector. You do that by typing GetPlayerFromCharacter()
Like this:
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(player).PlayerGui.ScreenGui.ImageLabel.Visible = true
end)
You cant access player's playergui stuff from server script if filtering is enabled, so you need to use remote events for that
But how do I get the character?
Sorry, should have told you it's a local script. Wait I'll update
MouseClick passes the player, not the player's character
Then why GetPlayerFromCharacter?

char isn't the character
