frame.Visible = true Script Not Working

Hello, I want to make a game exactly like a Buffet. So I’m checking if the player touches the top of the container with the food in it and the model that touches it is named “Bowl” then it will make a confirm frame visible. But for some reason, this script won’t work, When I touch the top of the container with the tool nothing happens…

(I know this might be a simple fix but I haven’t dealt with much frame.Visible = true recently.)

Heres the script I’m using:

> local part = script.Parent
> local Frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame
> 
> part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
> 	if hit.Name == "Bowl" then
> 		Frame.Visible = true
> 	end
> end)

Thanks for the help! :slight_smile:

StarterGui is what the name implies, what the player’s GUI starts as. You can’t just edit the StarterGui to edit the player’s GUI. Use Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter to get the player, then turn their frame visible. You shouldn’t be handling GUIs on the server though, but if you don’t know how to turn them on client-side, use your current method.

Code:

--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

--//Variables
local part = script.Parent

--//Functions
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	
	if player and hit.Name == "Bowl" then
		player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = true
	end
end)

You can also transfer this code to a ServerScript if it isn’t. Unless you have the entire system made locally, this shouldn’t hurt anything.

I am making this code assuming that this is a LocalScript

local Player = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player.PlayerGui

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function(Part)
    if Part.Name == 'Bowl' then
        PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = true
    end
end)
