GetService() or script.Parent

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

If i insert a Script under StarterGui, should i do:

local starterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

or

local starterGui = script.Parent

I already have the Service because the Script is running, or?

None, you don’t access StarterGui, you access PlayerGui (basically the same but inside Player, they have the same content) and you get PlayerGui as game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

But the script is as a child in StarterGui, so it would not be the same like GetService?

#4

Ah sorry i forgot, that starterGui copies the Assets into PlayerGui

#5

No, StarterGui content is cloned into PlayerGui, the scripts are not activated first.

#6

Yeah, i just forgot thoose thinks, thanks!

#7

You would use script.Parent since it would be referencing PlayerGui.
