Hey everyone, I am attempting to reduce exploiters in my game by using filtering enabled, one issue I have found is that startergui wont copy over to playergui (I assume the same happens with starterpack although I can think of an easy workaround for that). I attempted to do this:
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("StarterGui"):GetChildren()) do
v:clone().Parent = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
end
end)
with no success, any ideas?
I had the very same problem so I am using this script which fixes the problem:- This script is in ServerScriptService and my gui is in the workspace
function onHumanoidDied(property, plr)
plrGui = plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui")
if plr~= nil and plrGui~=nil then
plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:Destroy()
end
end
function onPlayerRespawn(property, plr)
while plr and plr.Parent do
if plr.Character then break end
wait(1)
end
if not (plr and plr.Parent) then return end
wait(1)
if game.Workspace.FilteringEnabled then
game.Workspace.FilteringEnabled = false
wait(1)
Workspace.ScreenGui:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui
game.Workspace.FilteringEnabled = true
else
game.Workspace.FilteringEnabled = true
end
end
function onPlayerEntered(plr)
while plr and plr.Parent do
if plr.Character then break end
wait(1)
end
if not (plr and plr.Parent) then return end
wait(1)
Workspace.ScreenGui:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui
plr.CharacterRemoving:connect(function(property) onHumanoidDied(property, plr) end)
plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(property) onPlayerRespawn(property, plr) end)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

Why user CharacterAdded when you can use PlayerAdded? Try PlayerAdded. Also, anything in the output?
Nothing
Is that your entire script?
nope
Post the uppermost function that this is nested inside of. FilteringEnabled doesn't stop Server to Client replication, only Client to Server, so the StarterGui should be being copied over.
Sorry, tried the playeradded thing and it worked, for whatever reason I assumed that the playergui replicated with every character addition, sorry for not commenting earlier.
Yeah, for future reference, every time a Player's Character is added, unless teh ResetPlayerGuiOnSpawn property is ticked, they will get a copy of the current contents of StarterGui added to their PlayerGui. If that property is unticked, the old contents will be removed and then the startergui contents will be added.
cheers
