Gift is not a valid member of PlayerGui ? - Help

Asked 426 views1 answers

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

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)?
