Hi there, I’m currently working on a new alarm system for my game. With this being said, I’m having trouble connecting the GUI so it will display for all users when a certain brick is touched.
The way I want is connected is so that it displays the player that hit it’s name as the top part of the GUI says “The bank has been robbed by:” (this is also connected to a sound that plays from the brick that is touched.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me with this.
Current code so far:
local debounce = false
Light = script.Parent.PointLight -- PointLight
function onHit(hit)
local human = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
local name = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Name")
if (human ~= nil) and debounce == false then
debounce = true
game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()PlayerGui.Robbery.Enabled = true
game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers().PlayerGui.Robbery.Frame.User.Text = name
wait (2)
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
Light.Enabled = true
wait (2)
Light.Enabled= false
wait (2)
Light.Enabled = true
wait (2)
Light.Enabled = false
wait (2)
Light.Enabled = true
wait (2)
Light.Enabled = false
game.StarterGui.Robbery.Enabled = false
debounce = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onHit)

The function GetPlayers returns a table, not a instance, so you can’t just get their GUI like that, as it would spit out an error. Assuming that the script is on the server, you would either use a RemoteEvent to or store the bank robbery message on Replicated storage and have the clients listen to that.

Do you happen to have Discord and could run me through this quickly? I can throw you 500-1,000 R$ for your help. I’m hoping to get this done fast, only reason I’m willing to throw in some R$. It’d be via Group funds as well.
Thanks!
I am currently unavailable. However, you can go hire someone on the Collaboration category.

Alright - if nobody is able to guide me further I’ll look into that. In the meantime, I’ll try my best to do this via RemoteEvent.

Still no clue on how to do this, I may not be firing the RemoteEvent right… Really frustrating, if anybody is able to help me with this. I just don’t know how to make it so it displays for all players.
Can you share more details on what your problem is?
local human = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
local name = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Name")
if (human ~= nil) and debounce == false then
debounce = true
wait (2)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Alarm:FireAllClients()
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
Light.Enabled = true
wait (2)
Light.Enabled= false
wait (2)
Light.Enabled = true
wait (2)
Light.Enabled = false
wait (2)
Light.Enabled = true
wait (2)
Light.Enabled = false
game.StarterGui.Robbery.Enabled = false
debounce = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onHit)
So I’ve made some updates to that, which is a server script connected to the brick that is touched when alarm goes off.
Here is the script I tried connecting it to via RemoteEvent, which is also a server script:
game.ReplicatedStorage.Alarm.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
player.PlayerGui.Robbery.Enabled = true
end
The event should be connected on the client, not the server.
Sorta like this:
--[Client code]
Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(RobberName)
--code
end)
--[Server code]
Event:FireAllClients(Robber.Name)
Here is a tutorial!
It’s working perfectly now, thank you so much for the help!
