``I've been trying to Change Visible on a Frame when a player touches a part but its giving me this error and i don't know why.

The Error Workspace.DetectPart.OpenScript:10: attempt to index local 'EnableShop' (a nil value)

the script is a global script

here is my script

01script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
02    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
03        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.parent)
04            if player.OnPart.Value == false then
05 
06                    player.OnPart.Value = true
07 
08                    local EnableShop = player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("EnableShop")

This might help,

If you have FE a.k.a. Filtering Enabled then it won't work because the game can't get to game.Players in a server script.

Also try adding a wait(4) right at the top this is just a test it won't be there forever

Is the error the same? If it is then you need to check if FE is on or off in the workspace properties and also check your GUI lol xxcoordinatorxx 135 — 6y

Filtering Enabled is on and the Gui is enabled but the the frame is not Active should that be on? Nooberton_1 9 — 6y

Yeah you should see what works best but with FE you're going to have to use remote event unfortunately xxcoordinatorxx 135 — 6y

If FindFirstChild doesn't find a child with the provided name, it'll return nil. I would recommend using WaitForChild instead, as it's possible the child hasn't yet been parented to the playergui by the time that line is reached.

E: Actually, it appears as if you're trying to read the content's of a player's playergui, which can't be done on the server. I originally thought you were using a localscript, however this doesn't appear to be the case.

02    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
03        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.parent)
04        if player.OnPart.Value == false then
05            player.OnPart.Value = true
06            local EnableShop = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild ("EnableShop")
07            EnableShop.Frame.Visible = true
08        end

Is it possible you're not parenting the "EnableShop" screengui to the playergui? systack 123 — 6y
