GUI and part showing for everyone

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have special items in my game and I want it to where when the player touches that item, the item destroys and a GUI shows up saying they got it

I coded it correctly and it works, but it shows for everybody, The gui showing, and the part destroying. Is there any way i can make it to where when a player touches that part the part destroys and shows the GUI for them, instead of every player?

The script is in a local script item btw, not a regular script, and the script location is in the GUI

How to tween Gui when Brick Touched

You could change the Script into a Server Script, and put this code inside the Part

You should have a basic understanding of these things as well:

  • Touched Events

  • GetPlayerFromCharacter() function

  • Connecting Functions

local Part = script.Parent --Defining the Part

local function RemoveGUI(Hit) --Creating the local function, which "Hit" is the first parameter for the "Touched" event
    local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent) --Getting the Player from the Character Model
    if Player then --Checking if we have a player
        local PlayerGui = Player.PlayerGui
        PlayerGui.YourGuiHere:Destroy() --Configuring the Player's GUI for them only
    end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(RemoveGUI)

Thanks, and by changing it into a server script do you mean moving the script into "ServerScriptService? And should the GUI script stay a Local Script when I move it into There?

#4

I meant if you have the script that activates when you Touch a part, it should be inside the Part as a Server Script so

workspace > Part > Script

It should look something like this in your Explorer

I just find it easier to put the parts in scripts, but you can do what you want (Just change the part variable to where the actual Part is)

The GUI script should be fine as it is

#5

I am also confused by this script. I see RemoveGUI, when the only thing im trying to remove when the player touches it in this is the Part/Item. I want the GUI to Show when the player touches the part. Sorry If I am wrong, I am fairly new to Lua and still trying to learn.

#6

Ooooooh I see, alrighty

local Part = script.Parent --Defining the Part

local function RemoveTool(Hit) --Creating the local function, which "Hit" is the first parameter for the "Touched" event
    local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent) --Getting the Player from the Character Model
    if Player then --Checking if we have a player
        if Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Tool") then
            Player.Character.Tool:Destroy()
        else
            Player.Backpack.Tool:Destroy()
        end
        Player.PlayerGui.RandomGui.Enabled = true
    end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(RemoveTool)

My bad, I went ahead and added in a couple more things to my script

Upon activation, the said “Item” will be removed & the GUI will be enabled for that player hopefully

I do also recommend looking at the Dev API for helpful information :sweat_smile:

I modified the script and for the most part it works, the GUI shows for the player who touched it only, but the part still deletes for everybody

heres the modified script BTW:

local Part = script.Parent --Defining the Part

local function RemoveTool(Hit) --Creating the local function, which "Hit" is the first parameter for the "Touched" event
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent) --Getting the Player from the Character Model
	if Player then --Checking if we have a player
		wait(.5)
		Part:Destroy()
		end
		Player.PlayerGui.PinkeggGet.Frame.Visible = true
	end

Part.Touched:Connect(RemoveTool)
#8

Did you mean to include that as well? It’s gonna delete when a Character Model touches it, so that no one else is able to touch it

#9

Yes, I meant to include that. I want to part to be gone/deleted but for only the character who touched it, not anybody else

#10

Ok O K A Y

Alright, if you want the Part to be gone for 1 Player but not for everyone else we can do some client manipulation here

Now, this time what we’ll do is insert a LocalScript inside StarterPlayerScripts using somewhat of the same code as I mentioned earlier:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local Part = workspace.Part --Defining the Part

local function RemoveTool(Hit) --Creating the local function, which "Hit" is the first parameter for the "Touched" event
	local Check = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent) --Getting the Player from the Character Model
	if Check then --Checking if we have a player
       	PlayerGui.PinkeggGet.Frame.Visible = true
		wait(.5)
		Part:Destroy()
	end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(RemoveTool)

Now this time, we can actually get the Local Player with this type of script so we don’t have to worry about getting it from the Touched Event but I believe we should at least still check if a player has touched the part or not

We also defined the PlayerGui outside our function since we can actually access it from there

Now when the Part gets touched, the Part should be destroyed on the client-side (Aka destroyed from you, but visible to everyone else) and the GUI should be enabled a swell

#11

Alright, So all I have to do is put this code into a Local script Inside on StarterPlayerScripts?

#13

I believe so, and just to make sure that everything works as well we can add some print() statements in our code:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local Part = workspace.Part --Defining the Part
print("Code online")

local function RemoveTool(Hit) --Creating the local function, which "Hit" is the first parameter for the "Touched" event
    print("Part touched")
	local Check = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent) --Getting the Player from the Character Model
	if Check then --Checking if we have a player
        print("Enabling the GUI for: "..Player.Name)
       	PlayerGui.PinkeggGet.Frame.Visible = true
		wait(.5)
		Part:Destroy()
	end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(RemoveTool)
#14

The Script Doesn’t work for me. Now Whenever I touch the part, the Gui shows and the part destroys for everybody again, and the script is in starterplayerscripts

#15

It is a LocalScript, right? Just making sure (I’m gonna try this as well)

#16

Yes, its a Local Script (wordlimit)

#17

Weird, it’s working on my side

Can you check your Output & Server Screen to see if the part’s still there? Also do make sure to disable that other Touched script if you haven’t done so already, which might be why it’s happening

#18

Yeah, its still not working for me, and the other Touched Script is disabled

#19

Hm, could you send a screenshot of the Explorer then?

#20

sure! this is the part, and all the children items in it, and the second image is the script in StarterPlayerScripts, Drawing (8) Drawing (9)

#21

There doesn’t seem to be anything really wrong, unless if you forgot to define where to Parent the Part variable to??? Check your Output if you can and see what gets printed out
