How can I destroy a gui on all playergui’s if someone clicks a textbutton?
I have a frame in the playergui. I want to destroy it on all playerguis when a textbutton is clicked. How would I go about doing this? I have tried using remote events and scripts but to no help.
Try something like
LocalScript:
local Button = script.Parent -- assuming this script is a child of a TextButton
local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remote Event Name Here")
local Frame = nil -- Replace "nil" with the frame's directory
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
Remote:FireServer()
end)
Remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
Frame:Destroy()
end)
ServerScript:
local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remote Event Name Here")
Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
Remote:FireAllClients()
end)
This helped. I modified it a little bit, but I have multiple clones of the gui im trying to delete and I only want to delete one of them, but since I am firing a remote event it deletes all of them? Do you know how to fix this? My code is:
local Button = script.Parent.Close – assuming this script is a child of a TextButton
local Remote1 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“ReportClose1”)
local Remote2 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“ReportClose2”)
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
Remote1:FireServer()
end)
Remote2.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)
– The guis are different names but the local script causes them to all delete.
local Button = script.Parent.Close – assuming this script is a child of a TextButton
local Remote1 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“ReportClose1”)
local Remote2 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“ReportClose2”)
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
Remote1:FireServer() -- you can pass the name of the gui as an argument (Remote1:FireServer("Gui Name") etc...)
end)
Remote2.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(name) -- if you do pass an argument back then, be sure to create a variable to define it. If you didn't then leave it blank
script.Parent.Parent:Destroy() -- if the guis are all parented to this object, then they'd all be deleted, otherwise, do "script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild(name):Destroy()"
end)
If you modified the server code, what does it look like
[quote=“HugeCoolboy2007, post:5, topic:804441”]
Remote1:FireServer() -- you can pass the name of the gui as an argument (Remote1:FireServer("Gui Name") etc...)
[/quote] This would work but there is no specific name. I am making a ticket system and each gui has a new name, it is “Report Number #” and I need a way to check the name of the report I want to delete and only delete that one. I dont specify the name because the tickets are created in game.
What does the gui look like in the explorer
When it is duplicated or in studio when it is a single gui?
when it is duplicated on screen
wait, is the localscript a single localscript or is it a child to each of the frame guis
A child of each of the Frames. Also I am getting a picture
Okay, try this
local Button = script.Parent.Close – assuming this script is a child of a TextButton
local Remote1 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“ReportClose1”)
local Remote2 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“ReportClose2”)
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
Remote1:FireServer(script.Parent.Name) -- be sure to pass this argument back to Remote2 through "Report Close"
end)
Remote2.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(name)
script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild(name):Destroy()
end)
Report Close:
local Remote1 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“ReportClose1”)
local Remote2 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“ReportClose2”)
Remote1.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,name)
Remote2:FireAllClients(name)
end)
Is this what I should do? (SErver script)
yes _____ (i have to extend the character count to reply)
Ok. Thanks!!!
It is working perfect just keeps giving me an error in console.
[21:12:19.417 - Players.CanadianAviatorRBX.PlayerGui.Frame.Frame.LocalScript:11: attempt to index nil with ‘Destroy’]

[21:12:19.418 - Script ‘Players.CanadianAviatorRBX.PlayerGui.Frame.Frame.LocalScript’, Line 11

try replacing the old Remote2 Client Event with this
Remote2.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(name)
print(tostring(name))
local frame = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild(name)
if frame then
frame:Destroy()
end
end)
Edit: see if it prints the correct name. If it doesn’t then check to see if any of the children in the frame has any names of the frame’s properties
Wow Thanks for your help! It finally works. Do you want any credits for helping with it?
no thanks, I just like to help people 
Hey. I got another question. How would I make it so the gui is only visible to people on the certain “STAFF” team? I have tried different options in scripting helpers and it hasnt helped. I want to make it visible to people on the staff team when they switch, and when they switch back, I want it to be invisible.
