Gui changes using remote events help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So basically what I want to do is make a radio system where if a player enters a word into a text box it’d clone a frame with the text and be visible to the server.

How would I do that by using remote events?

This is my client script

local Replicated = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = Replicated:WaitForChild("radioclientremote")
local textbox = script.Parent.Parent.textboxenter.TextBox
local textboxc = script.Parent.Parent.textboxenter.done
local callsignframe = script.Parent.Parent.Callsign.TextBox


textboxc.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	remote:FireServer(textbox.Text,callsignframe.Text)
	local frame = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").REPLICATION:clone()
	frame.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.ScrollingFrame
	frame.MESSAGE.Text = textbox.Text
	frame.CALLSIGN.Text = callsignframe.Text
end)

Then on the Server you need to distribute the signal to other so it updates for them.

You’ll likely run into a problem though : New players joining the game won’t see previous changes, so you’ll need to save the latest state, and update newly joining players of the latest state of the GUI

hope that gives you an idea of what to do.

Some framework:

Server:

local message1 = ""
local message2 = ""

-- text1 and text2 is the textbox.Text and callsignframe.Text you passed from the client
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(text1, text2)
    remoteEvent:FireAllClients(text1, text2)
    message1 = text1
    message2 = text2
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    remoteEvent:FireClient(player, message1, message2)
end)

Client: (you can do this in the same localscript where you fired the remove from first)

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(text1, text2)
    -- make gui visible and change the text
end)

That makes no sense as how am I meant to reference PLRGUI from the server to even interact with the textbox?

Use a remote event:

ServerScript

game.ReplicatedStorage.radioclientremote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text1, text2)
    local plrGui = player.PlayerGui
    
end)

Local Script


local Replicated = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = Replicated:WaitForChild("radioclientremote")
local textbox = script.Parent.Parent.textboxenter.TextBox
local textboxc = script.Parent.Parent.textboxenter.done
local callsignframe = script.Parent.Parent.Callsign.TextBox

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    remote:FireServer(textbox.Text,callsignframe.Text)
end)

I’ve tried that however it’s still client sided.

Heres my server script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.radioclientremote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text1, text2)
	local plrGui = player.PlayerGui
	local clone = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").REPLICATION:Clone()
	plrGui.RadioGUI.textboxenter.done.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		clone.Parent = plrGui.RadioGUI.ScrollingFrame
		clone.MESSAGE.Text = plrGui.RadioGUI.textboxenter.TextBox.Text
		clone.CALLSIGN.Text = plrGui.RadioGUI.Callsign.TextBox.Text
		
	end)

end)
