Add Friend GUI when a player clicked

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I’ve been trying to figure out a way so that when a player clicks on another player, it gives them the option to send them a friend request. I’ve seen this feature implemented in games like Roblox High School 2. And I was wondering if I could make something like this myself for my own games. I’m not the best with scripting so any help on how to achieve this would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

The friend system on those games is a completely different system than the normal roblox friend systems.

Believe it not, Roblox implemented a system for this, surprisingly. I just tested it out and it does in fact work.

It’s been covered by @BenSBk in this post:

If you need help with the implementation of this feature, let me know. I can help you out.

Here’s a simple script that demonstrates this in implementation. I’ve added some comments to help you understand how it works.

Also, make sure this is in a LocalScript (not a normal Script) that is in StarterPack.

local Players = game:GetService("Players") --Players service
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui") --StarterGui service

local player = Players.LocalPlayer --Client player

local mouse = player:GetMouse() --Mouse of client player

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function() --When the left click button is pressed.....
	local target = mouse.Target --Save whatever part was clicked on in the 3D space into the target variable
	
	local clickedPlayer = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent) or Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent.Parent) --Attempt to save clicked part's player in a variable
	if clickedPlayer and clickedPlayer ~= player then --If clicked part actually WAS a descendant of a player and it isn't the client player then
		StarterGui:SetCore("PromptSendFriendRequest", clickedPlayer) --Send the friend request
	end
end)
