GUI Events on surfacegui don't fire

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so, I just made a donation sign. I’m trying to make that once the local player interacts with it, some tweens play and when they click the gamepass is prompted.

I currently have a local script inside every “blank” frame, and the surface gui is originally in server storage, then when a player equips the donation sign the surfagui is cloned from the server storage by the server and put inside every player’s PlayerGui.

serverscript:

local donateBoardEvent = ReplicatedStorage.DonateBoard
local signBoardGUI = ServerStorage.SignBoard
local tool = script.Parent

donateBoardEvent.Event:Connect(function(owner, gamepasses)
	local player = tool.Parent.Parent
	
	if owner ~= player then return end
	
	-- get a new surfaceGUI
	for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local newSurfaceGUI = signBoardGUI:Clone()
		newSurfaceGUI.Parent = player.PlayerGui
		newSurfaceGUI.Adornee = tool:FindFirstChild("Board")
    end
end)

localscript

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local btn = script.Parent
local frame = script.Parent.Parent

frame.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	print("entered")
end)

btn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("clicked")
end)

however, no “entered” is printed when the local player hovers over it. how can I fix this?

btw the surfacegui has the Adornee set as the sign board into the workspace

you’d have to use a server script i believe, like this:


if i do the exact same script with a local script however, it doesn’t print; if you want to write logic, you’d have to fire a remote event

awesome; if you want to get the player object for firing the event, you can just do:

local mockPlayer = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name
local FoundPlayer : Player = game:GetService("Players")[mockPlayer]
print(FoundPlayer.Name)

(change the amount of parents accordingly)

#6

btw, the surfacegui is into playergui. are you sure I gotta add a script there?

#7

thats what i did!!! (i set the adornee to the part)

nope! i didnt put the surfacegui into startergui initially, but first in server storage and every time a new player joins into the server its replicated into every player

> PlayerGui

#11

try put it in startergui and tell me the results

#12

simply disable the localscript in serverstorage and enable it via serverscript once the surfacegui is cloned into the players playergui

so like this

local donateBoardEvent = ReplicatedStorage.DonateBoard
local signBoardGUI = ServerStorage.SignBoard
local tool = script.Parent

donateBoardEvent.Event:Connect(function(owner, gamepasses)
	local player = tool.Parent.Parent
	
	if owner ~= player then return end
	
	-- get a new surfaceGUI
	for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local newSurfaceGUI = signBoardGUI:Clone()
		newSurfaceGUI.Parent = player.PlayerGui
		newSurfaceGUI.Adornee = tool:FindFirstChild("Board")

        newSurfaceGUI.LocalScript.Enabled = true -- enabling the script inside the gui

    end
end)
