So this is a script inside a part called "HandleGlow", and it makes a door locked sound, and show a GUI with a text label saying: "Its locked". however, when I clicked it, everything worked, the output printed "WORKED!", the sound played, but the GUI didnt show up. Here is the script below. Please help me!


local clickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector
 --Mouse hover stuff VVVVVVV--
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function()

script.Parent.Parent.HandleGlow.Transparency = 0.75
end)
--Mouse Leave stuff VVVVV---
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Parent.HandleGlow.Transparency = 1
end)
--Door Stuff VVVVVV--
function onMouseClick()
script.Parent.DoorLocked:Play()
local A = game.StarterGui:FindFirstChild("LockedMessage")
A.Enabled = true

wait(5)
A.Enabled = false
print("WORKED!")
end

clickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick)

maybe you can do is check first if the GUI is closed or not manzano30 5 — 5y

startergui, not playergui

and next: playergui is not accessible via serverscript. you'll have to use a remoteevent/remotefunction in order to communicate to the client via server.

for example:

--serverscript
workspace.Event:FireClient(params) --send message to certain player

--localscript
workspace.Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(params)

    game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.LockedMessage.Enabled = true; --set LockedMessage's enabled property to true

end)

however, remotefunctions work a bit differently:

--serverscript
workspace.Event:InvokeClient(params) --send message to certain player

--localscript
workspace.Event.OnClientInvoke = function(params) --DIRECTLY set the Event's OnClientInvoke "property" to a function that is called via the InvokeClient method

    game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.LockedMessage.Enabled = true;

end

As far as I know, you cannot modify the contents of the PlayerGui from the server. I'm sure you can access it. User#29813 0 — 5y

The reason that it isn't showing the gui is that your enabling the gui in the starter gui. You need to enable it in the Player gui. Here is your revised code:

local clickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

--Mouse hover stuff VVVVVVV--
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function() 
    script.Parent.Parent.HandleGlow.Transparency = 0.75
end)

--Mouse Leave stuff VVVVV---
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Parent.HandleGlow.Transparency = 1
end)

--Door Stuff VVVVVV--
function onMouseClick(Plr)
    local PlrGui = Plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
    local Gui = PlrGui:WaitForChild("LockedMessage")
    script.Parent.DoorLocked:Play()
    Gui.Enabled = true
    wait(5)
    Gui.Enabled = false
    print("WORKED!")
end

clickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick)

Happy coding to you
