(ANSWERED) How come I can't access the PlayerGui?
Introduction
Hello there, I am having a problem with the PlayerGui property of the player. I am trying to access the player's PlayerGui, but it will not work.
My script:
1 | function myFunction(player) |
2 | local part = workspace.Part |
3 | local clone = part.GUI:Clone() |
4 | clone.Parent = player.PlayerGui |
5 | end |
6 | myFunction() |
Conclusion
Can somebody help me?

You aren't passing any variables when you call the function. It has no ideas what "player" is. Jexpler 63 — 5y

If you are using a local script to do this, you can find the player by using game.Players.LocalPlayer, and use the example below.
1 | function myFunction(player) |
2 | local part = workspace.Part |
3 | local clone = part.GUI:Clone() |
4 | clone.Parent = player.PlayerGui |
5 | end |
6 | myFunction(game.Players.LocalPlayer) |
If this is a server script, you need to get another way to find that player. If that is the case, please write a response saying what you need to happen to have the function happen. From there, I can help you further.
