Gift is not a valid member of PlayerGui ? - Help
I've been trying to work out and come across possible explanations for this issue but I can't seem to identify the error.
I get the error, "Gift is not a valid member of PlayerGui".
Here is my script it is erroring in. Line 5. The script is also in Workspace as it is a RemoteEvent script.
01 | game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Present.OnServerEvent:Connect(function() |
02 | -- Any code will run when RemoteEvent is triggered/fired |
03 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do |
04 | v.leaderstats.Points.Value = v.leaderstats.Points.Value + 5000 |
05 | v.PlayerGui.Gift.cash.Visible = true |
06 | v.PlayerGui.Gift.present.Visible = false |
07 | game.Workspace.CoinSound:Play() |
08 | v.leaderstats.gift.Value = true |
09 | wait(0.2) |
10 | v.PlayerGui.Gift.cash.TextSize = 40 |
11 | wait(0.2) |
12 | v.PlayerGui.Gift.cash.TextSize = 48 |
13 | wait(2) |
14 | v.PlayerGui.Gift.cash.Visible = false |
15 | v.PlayerGui.Christmas.TextLabel.Visible = false |
16 | end |
17 | end) |
Anyone know any possible explanations to this error?
Here is also a screenshot of the PlayerGui and the Gui's inside of it.

RemoteFunctions are for RETURNING values User#23365 30 — 6y

Oh, but when I changed it to OnClientEvent it still didnt work. Could you answer the question as it'd be easier. Thanks! TheOnlySmarts 233 — 6y

use RemoteEvents so the client can do it and you forgot to add the player parameter for OnServerEvent.
01 | local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Present |
02 |
03 | remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) |
04 | -- Any code will run when RemoteEvent is triggered/fired |
05 |
06 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do |
07 | v.leaderstats.Points.Value = v.leaderstats.Points.Value + 5000 |
08 |
09 | game.Workspace.CoinSound:Play() |
10 | v.leaderstats.gift.Value = true |
11 |
12 | remote:FireClient(player, "changeGui") |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
client:
01 | local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Present |
02 | local holder = script.Parent.Parent -- define where they are |
03 |
04 | remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(changeGui) |
05 | if changeGui == "changeGui" then |
06 |
07 | holder.cash.Visible = true |
08 | holder.present.Visible = false |
09 |
10 | wait(0.2) |
11 | holder.cash.TextSize = 40 |
12 | wait(0.2) |
13 | holder.cash.TextSize = 48 |
14 | wait(2) |
15 | holder.cash.Visible = false |
16 | holder.Christmas.TextLabel.Visible = false |
17 | end |
18 | end) |

Thank you this really helped but where would the second script be? What is the Client. I know the ServerScript would be in Workspace but what about the ClientScript(2nd script)? TheOnlySmarts 233 — 6y
