[SOLVED] Is it possible to change the parent of an object via localscript?

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local debounce = false
local name = "Dave"
local message = "Hey man, what's up?"
local dist = 7

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

local interact = game.ReplicatedStorage.Interact

while true do
    for i, npc in pairs(workspace.NPCs:GetChildren()) do
        if (char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.p - npc.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p).magnitude <= dist then
            interact.Parent = playerGui

            uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
                if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and not debounce and interact.Parent == playerGui then
                    debounce = true
                    game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.StartDialog:FireServer(name, message, dist)
                    wait(1)
                    debounce = false
                end
            end)
        else
            interact.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
        end
    end
    wait(1)
end

I'm trying to make a magnitude script so that when you're near an npc, it would show a gui. The problem is that it doesn't show the gui.
