(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:
function myFunction(player)
local part = workspace.Part
local clone = part.GUI:Clone()
clone.Parent = player.PlayerGui
end
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 — 4y

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.
function myFunction(player)
local part = workspace.Part
local clone = part.GUI:Clone()
clone.Parent = player.PlayerGui
end
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.
