[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.
