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.

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Present.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
    -- Any code will run when RemoteEvent is triggered/fired
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        v.leaderstats.Points.Value = v.leaderstats.Points.Value + 5000
        v.PlayerGui.Gift.cash.Visible = true
        v.PlayerGui.Gift.present.Visible = false
        game.Workspace.CoinSound:Play()
        v.leaderstats.gift.Value = true
        wait(0.2)
        v.PlayerGui.Gift.cash.TextSize = 40
        wait(0.2)
        v.PlayerGui.Gift.cash.TextSize = 48
        wait(2)
        v.PlayerGui.Gift.cash.Visible = false
        v.PlayerGui.Christmas.TextLabel.Visible = false
    end
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 — 5y

use RemoteEvents so the client can do it and you forgot to add the player parameter for OnServerEvent.

local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Present

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    -- Any code will run when RemoteEvent is triggered/fired

    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        v.leaderstats.Points.Value = v.leaderstats.Points.Value + 5000  

        game.Workspace.CoinSound:Play()
        v.leaderstats.gift.Value = true

    remote:FireClient(player, "changeGui")      
    end
end)

client:

local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Present
local holder = script.Parent.Parent -- define where they are

remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(changeGui)
    if changeGui == "changeGui" then

        holder.cash.Visible = true
        holder.present.Visible = false

        wait(0.2)
        holder.cash.TextSize = 40
        wait(0.2)
        holder.cash.TextSize = 48
        wait(2)
        holder.cash.Visible = false
        holder.Christmas.TextLabel.Visible = false
    end
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 — 5y
