how can I clone a GUI to the PlayerGui with no parameter?
I understand that ClickDetector functions have built-in parameters can easily pave a way to the PlayerGui, but I can't get one for events like MouseEnter. Anyway I can access the PlayerGui so the UI won't appear for all the players (I'm fairly sure filtering-enabled limit that but still) with a GUI/mouse relationship?
example:
--Script under TextButton under ScreenGui
script.Parent.MouseEnter:Connect(function(plr) --missing value for plr parameter
print("Insert whatever code in here, cloning other UI, making its parent the PlayerGui.")
end

First of all, you need to use a LocalScript when handling GUIS in the Player.
So, create a LocalScript inside of your TextButton. First we need to get the LocalPlayer, which is simple:
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
Now, we need to listen to the MouseEnter event and connect it
script.Parent.MouseEnter:Connect(function() -- there is no need for any parameters
Now, where is the GUI we want to clone? Let's say it's in game.ReplicatedStorage, and it's called "Alpha". To continue, we would do:
script.Parent.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Alpha:Clone().Parent = Player.PlayerGui
-- replace with your actual GUI
end)
Final Script:
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Alpha:Clone().Parent = Player.PlayerGui
-- replace with your actual GUI
end)
It's as simple as that! If you want to make sure that the Player doesn't hover multiple times and keep getting the GUI cloned, you can create a Debounce.
local Passed = false
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
if Passed == false then
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Alpha:Clone().Parent = Player.PlayerGui
-- replace with your actual GUI
Passed = true
wait(100) -- wait (x) amount of seconds
Passed = false -- allows player to hover and get the GUI again
end
end)
Again, we are using a LocalScript here!
