script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    for i,Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local count = Player.PlayerGui.Start.count
        local Parent = Player.PlayerGui.Start.Start
        count.Visible = true

        Parent.Visible = false
        count.Text = 5
            wait(1)
        count.Text = 4
            wait(1)
        count.Text = 3
            wait(1)
        count.Text = 2
            wait(1)
        count.Text = 1
            wait(1)
        count.Text = "BEGIN!"
    end
    game.Workspace["start part"]:Destroy()
    wait(1)
    game.StarterGui["Start"]:Destroy()
    script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end

It's supposed to do that on everyone's screen, but it doesn't. The original worked, but only on the "player who clicked it"'s screen. Why?

Please ensure the this isn't in a "localscript" if it is, it will only run for the player who executed the script.

this won't work bcuz of FilteringEnabled. ServerScripts can't see any descendants of PlayerGui Luka_Gaming07 534 — 4y

Problem

The Problem here is that you are using A LocalScript and trying to change something on other Clients (AKA Players). Because of FilteringEnabled this simply won't work.

Solution

RemoteEvents is your Answer. For a guide of using RemoteEvents click Here. Basically what you want to do is

LocalScript

  1. Create a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage
  2. Connect a function to Listen for MouseButton1Click.
    • Which fires the RemoteEvent using RemoteEvent:FireServer()
  3. When RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent is fired do the CountDown

Normal Script

  1. Connect to the Event RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent
    1. Which fires the Event using RemoteEvent:FireAllClients()
    2. And Destroys start part

Final Script

LocalScript

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    game.ReplicatedStorage.<REMOTE EVENT HERE>:FireServer()
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.<REMOTE EVENT HERE>.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    count.Visible = true

        Parent.Visible = false
        count.Text = 5
            wait(1)
        count.Text = 4
            wait(1)
        count.Text = 3
            wait(1)
        count.Text = 2
            wait(1)
        count.Text = 1
            wait(1)
        count.Text = "BEGIN!"

        wait(1)
    script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

Server Script

game.ReplicatedStorage.<REMOTE EVENT HERE>.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
    game.ReplicatedStorage.<REMOTE EVENT HERE>.FireAllClients()
    game.Workspace["start part"]:Destroy()
end)
