[Solved] this gui is not showing up for everyone but myself, how do i fix this?

Asked Apr 19, 2020336 views2 answers

This works on my screen but no one else is seeing it.
(this script is a local script inside StarterGui)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- gets to the local player

local character = player.Character  -- gets to the character

local playergui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")  -- gets to the playergui

local Gui = script.BATB:Clone()  --clones the gui 

playergui.Control.TextButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()  -- triggers the script when button is pressed

script.BATB.FrameLoader.Text = player.Name.. " Has entered the controls" -- puts text inside the text box

script.BATB.LocalScript.Disabled = false -- enables script

Gui.Parent = playergui  -- put gui inside playergui
end)

Hello the reason it's only showing you it's because the script playergui.Control.TextButton.MouseButton1Down function is ran locally

Heres a quick fix:

Script (place a script in ServerScriptService)

local remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",game.ReplicatedStorage)
remote.Name = "ControlsUpdateText"

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,text)
	remote:FireAllClients(player.Name.." Has entered the controls")
end)

LocalScript (edit ur localscript to this)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- gets to the local player

local character = player.Character  -- gets to the character

local playergui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")  -- gets to the playergui

playergui.Control.TextButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()  -- triggers the script when button is pressed
	game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ControlsUpdateText"):FireServer(player.Name.. " Has entered the controls")
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ControlsUpdateText").OnClientEvent:Connect(function(text)
	local Gui = script.BATB:Clone()  --clones the gui 

	script.BATB.FrameLoader.Text = text -- puts text inside the text box

	script.BATB.LocalScript.Disabled = false -- enables script

	Gui.Parent = playergui  -- put gui inside playergui
end)

Feel free to comment if there's any errors, or anything.

The gui thats parented to the local script. (trying to make it clone into the playergui so everyone can see it)

Why don't you just put it in the playergui and enable it with a script later when you need it? Isn't that easier?

This is because you're doing it inside of a Local Script. If you want this code to be server sided then you'll need to use a Server Script. You'll need a RemoteEvent for this also.

Heres the code, I've already tested it and it works, but if it doesn't work for you for whatever reason, just post a comment below and I'll try to help you.

Local Script:


local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

local Gui = script.BATB:Clone()

PlayerGui.Controls.TextButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

	RemoteEvent:FireServer()

	Gui.Parent = PlayerGui
	
end)

Server Script:

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	
	local Players = game:GetService("Players") 
	
	for i,v in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do -- Here we are getting all the players that are currently in the game
		
		local PlayerGui = v:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui") -- Getting all Players' PlayerGuis.
		local FrameLoader = PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("FrameLoader") -- Change this to where the location of the FrameLoader is inside of the players' PlayerGui
		FrameLoader.Text = Player.Name.." Has entered the controls" -- Changing the FrameLoader's Text for everyone in the game.
	
	end
end)
