Why can't the my code find a Gui which is inside the PlayerGui Folder?
I have a code inside a script, inside a ClickDetector, inside a part. When I click the part it should open a Gui which is inside the PlayerGui Folder but I just get the error; InfoGui is not a valid member of PlayerGui
But if I look ínside the PlayerGui Folder it is there! It is spelled correctly, I've checked many times but the script can't find it!
Here's the script;
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
player.PlayerGui.InfoGui.ImageLabel.Visible = true
end)

Is this a local or server script? Server side cannot access a player’s PlayerGui. xPolarium 1388 — 5y

I'm sorry HaveASip but I've never understood RemoteFunctions or RemoteEvents Spjureeedd 385 — 5y

Did you do what I said? I need to insert remote event into replicatedstorage and put the name of remote event into both my scripts HaveASip 494 — 5y

the server cannot see things inside of the PlayerGui unless it was made by the server Donut792 216 — 5y

The server can't see each clients' PlayerGui's descendants, so you're gonna need a RemoteEvent for this.
We'll need to handle the event on the client using the OnClientEvent event. There we'll enable the player's gui when we fire the event:
-- This will be your client code
local RE = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('RemoteEvent') -- assuming you've created a RemoteEvent
local gui = script.Parent -- Assuming this script was parented to the ImageLabel you're making visible
RE.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
gui.Visible = true
end)
Then, we'll handle the ClickDetector's mouse event on the server and fire the event to the client who clicked it:
--This will be your server code
local RE = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('RemoteEvent')
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
RE:FireClient(player) -- Fires the event to the client who clicked the clickdetector
end)

Should both be normal Scripts? Spjureeedd 385 — 5y

Should the first one be a LocalScript? And the second one a normal Script? Spjureeedd 385 — 5y
