How can I index the PlayerGui then through the prox. prompt?

#7

change into

workspace.feedbacknPC.Torso.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	local ui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Feedback", 15)
	ui.MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.344, 0, 0.673, 0), "Out", "Quart", .5, true) --0.673
end)

the reason why is mentioned already

You can obtain the Player through the functions parameters. As I mentioned before, or you can look at what @hestolemyrice posted above.

I’m pretty sure you can’t access playergui in a server script, since that’s what many have told me. Try using remote events.

#10

you can, you only can’t access player scripts

#11

Interesting. Still, wouldn’t it make sense for the client to handle playergui instead of the server? The server should be where you do critical tasks, instead of using up server resources.

Edit: Here’s a post about it, actually.

Thanks, But now it only completes the tween once.
.

Take a close look at the position

#13

You might need to change everything into a local script

#14

but you cant find if a proximityprompt is triggered locally, it has to be server sided, right?

#15

The reason why it only does once is most likely because the script only runs 1 time

#16 
workspace.feedbacknPC.Torso.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
print("triggered")
	local ui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Feedback", 15)
	ui.MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.344, 0, 0.673, 0), "Out", "Quart", .5, true) --0.673
end)

I need to see if it prints

#17

You can detect if a proximityprompt fires on server or client or both

#19

lemme see the video too like i need to see the output and you triggering it at the same time

#21

Could you show us where you are closing/removing the Gui. After you’ve clicked exit or… something.

#22

Is the closing of the gui from local script?

#23

Pretty sure he is. Since there’s no mention of it in the script he provided, besides tweening it out.

#24

Then that’s the problem though, it’s either he change local script into server script or he change server script into local script

#25

Yeah, the whole script is a mess honestly. But if he doesn’t want to change it the best we can do is help fix it.
