I put a click detector in a part. When I click the part I want a specific screen GUI to enable itself
My Script.
function Clicked(Plr)
print(Plr)
Plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("BookGui").ImageLabel.Visible =true
Plr.PlayerGui.BookGui.TextButton.Visible =true
end
the error I get is BookGui isn't a part of PlayerGui but it is! When I go in test mode its there.
Errors: You can not access the PlayerGui because Gui's are set by the client. Maybe some Gui's created by the server you can access but most of the Gui's that we use is created with client.
You need to use RemoteEvents with FireClient
You can see RemoteEvents and FireClient on roblox wiki:
For this, you need to create a Remote Event, LocalScirpt, ClickDetector & Script
For first create a RemoteEvent and put it on Replicated Storage, now create a LocalScript and put it on StarterGui, on LocalScript located in StarterGui put this code:
-- FOR USE THIS PUT IN StarterGui --
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer -- Not return nil for player
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event") -- Put your event here
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- Get player
event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() -- On fire the client
local gui = "BookGui" -- Put your GUI Name here
plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild(tostring(gui)) -- Wait for GUI
if plr["PlayerGui"]:FindFirstChild(tostring(gui)) then -- Find gui
local gui = plr["PlayerGui"][tostring(gui)]
gui.ImageLabel.Visible = true -- set ImageLabel visibility to true
gui.TextButton.Visible = true -- Set TextButton visibility to true
end
end)
Or you can put it on GUI and put this code:
-- FOR USE THIS PUT IN YOUR GUI --
wait()
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event") -- Put your event here
event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() -- On fire the client
script.Parent.ImageLabel.Visible = true -- set ImageLabel visibility to true
script.Parent.TextButton.Visible = true -- Set TextButton visibility to true
end)
Now create a Script and ClickDetector In your part and put this:
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Event") -- Put your event here
local clickdetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector -- Click detector location
clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
event:FireClient(plr)
end)
Hope it helped!
You got that error, cuz you can't access to player's stuff from script(server script). If you want to do that, you need to use remote events. It is very easy.
For first insert RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage and change it name what you want. Now type this into ur clickdetector script
local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Your Event Here") --your remote event name here
function Clicked(player)
Event:FireClient(plr) --giving exept player info that he clicked on the part
end
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(Clicked)
Now insert a localscript into startergui and type in
local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Your Event Here") --your remote event name here
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() --this script starts when he get info from server
player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("BookGui").ImageLabel.Visible =true
player.PlayerGui.BookGui.TextButton.Visible =true
end)
The script isn't doing anything.. I don't get my gui popping up or an error in output.
then you did something wrong
Does the local script go inside the BookGui thats in startergui or just inside startergui
No, you can put it in bookgui
the local script inside the click detector has plr underlined where it says Event:FireClient(plr)
in clickdetector script do you have 7 line?
only 6
re-check and do what I said. Maybe you did somthing wrong
I tested it myself in its working
line 4 on clickdetector script is (plr) supposed to be underlined in orange
my explorer https://imgur.com/a/0LX57Ar
Ive written down the scripts myself rather then copying them and I filled in my events name in the place it says to but still no error in output and no gui showing
What if I take bookgui out of startergui and put it in the workspace and then use game.workspace to find the path?
Change a localscript in ClickDetector to normal
thanks for helping
