Why won't this on chat script show the gui after it enables it?

Asked by

The sound plays but the gui won't open at all. It enables in the gui but it won't show up for some reason.

function onChatted(msg, recipient, speaker) 

local source = string.lower(speaker.Name) 
msg = string.lower(msg) 

if (msg == "start") then 
game.Workspace.GameSounds.Buzzer:Play()
game.StarterGui.TeamPicker.Enabled = true
end 
end

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer) 
newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg, recipient) onChatted(msg, recipient, newPlayer) end) 
end 

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

you'd want to access the speaker's PlayerGui, not the game's StarterGui.

whatever is in StarterGui is replicated to the player's PlayerGui when they join.

function onChatted(msg, recipient, speaker) 

    local source = string.lower(speaker.Name) 
    msg = string.lower(msg) 

    if (msg == "start") then 
        game.Workspace.GameSounds.Buzzer:Play()
        source.PlayerGui.TeamPicker.Enabled = true
    end 
end

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer) 
    newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg, recipient) 
        onChatted(msg, recipient, newPlayer) 
    end) 
end 

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)
