How can you access a PlayerGui from a script inside of StarterPlayerScripts?
I am trying to make a key press event, and it relies on a GUI in the PlayerGui, but when I try it says "PlayerGui is not a valid member of Player" here is my script:
01 | local pow = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PowerGui2.Frame -- the GUI |
02 | local speed = pow.Select1 -- a text button |
03 | if speed.Text == "Selected" then |
04 | -- v all the key press stuff v -- |
05 | m.KeyDown:Connect(function(k) |
06 | if k == "q" then |
07 | if db == true then |
08 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 40 |
09 | db = false |
10 | wait(10) |
11 | db = true |
12 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16 |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
16 | end |

mouse.KeyDown should not be used. Use UserInputService instead. Make sure that this is done in a local script. xPolarium 1388 — 6y

I developed a solution based on Thetcah's comment and here's the answer:
01 | local pow = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("PowerGui2").Frame |
02 | local speed = pow.Select1 |
03 | if speed.Text == "Selected" then |
04 | m.KeyDown:Connect(function(k) |
05 | if k == "q" then |
06 | if db == true then |
07 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 40 |
08 | db = false |
09 | wait(10) |
10 | db = true |
11 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16 |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
15 | end |

mouse.KeyDown is deprecated. Use UserInputService instead. xPolarium 1388 — 6y
