Add a player variable to a server script function?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

I’m making a function where it disables every LocalScript I inserted in a player’s PlayerGui. I was wondering, how do I add the player variable to my function?

#2

Unrelated, but this is a bad practice.

What exactly is going on? At what point do the scripts need to be disabled?

#3

Once someone presses a button in my gui, it fires a remote, and that remote adds a local script. Let’s call that local script “SecondLocalScript”. Basically, for “SecondLocalScript” to work, every other local scripts have to be disabled. Making a function that disables every local script would make it way easier.

Here’s a function I tried to make work.

function DisableGui()
	local Children = Player.PlayerGui.ColorFolders:GetDescendants()
	for i,v in pairs(Children) do
		if v:isA("LocalScript") then
			v.Disabled = true
		end
	end
end

When a remote is fired, the first argument the server gets is which player fired the remote.

local Remote = somePathToRemote

local function OnServerEvent(PlayerWhoFired)
    -- stuff
end

Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(OnServerEvent)

I know how remotes work, I was just wondering if there was a way to add the player who fired the remote or make a local player for a server script’s function

I’m confused.

Then use the player object that the remote gives you. I mentioned this in my 2nd reply. Other than that, I’m pretty confused as to what you’re asking.
