Client is not recognizing a replication from server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am running into an issue where frames that I am cloning from a server script onto a player’s gui will not actually replicate onto the client. Below in a server script I have a list of tools that are used as frame names inside a Player’s Gui. When I test my game only the server recognizes that there are new frames, however, the local script will not print out any of these new frames that I have created.

What could I be doing wrong here?

LOCAL SCRIPT:

for _,v in pairs(list:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("Frame") then
		print(v.Name)
        end
end

SERVER:

local tools = {
	
	["Hack"] = 5;
	["Food tray"] = 1;
	["Permit"] = 2;
	
	}

for tool, price in pairs(tools) do
     	if game.ReplicatedStorage.Stats.Storage.Tools:FindFirstChild(tostring(tool)) ~= nil then
		local newframe = newGui.Frame.List.ItemsFrame.ItemFrame:Clone()
		newframe.Parent = newGui.Frame.List.ItemsFrame
		newframe.ItemName.Text = tostring(tool)
		newframe.Credits.Text = price
		newframe.Visible = true
	end
end

for _,v in pairs(newGui.Frame.List.ItemsFrame:GetChildren()) do
	print(v.Name)
end

Sever output:
UIListLayout
ItemFrame (x4)

Client output:
ItemFrame – (there is originally one frame that I use as a template and this is what I am cloning)

Could it be that the local script is being executed before the server script? Make sure that you are in control of when your lines of code are being executed in that case.

The local script is disabled until everything is cloned.

Using the server for this at all seems to be very wrong. Why are you having the server modify a client Gui? There’s nothing here that looks sensitive, handle this from the client.
