Is it possible to make a GUI Tween appear on everyones screen?
My scenario:
I have a button that just moves to the right on click, but I want it to appear on everyones screen when it’s clicked because it is a panel that controls certain things.
e.g. ServerLock, if someone clicks ServerLock it’ll be on but the button will be shown as off for everyone else except the person who clicked it.
You will need to use a RemoteEvent. Make it FireServer when you click the serverlock button, and after the server verifies that you have permission to lock it, tell every client to change the gui by using FireAllClients. (You need to connect to OnClientEvent in the localscript).
Example:
--Server
local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, action)
if action == "ServerLock" and Admins[plr.UserId] then
ServerLock = true
remote:FireAllClients("UpdateServerLock", true)
end
end)
--Client
local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(action, value)
if action == "UpdateServerLock" then
label.Text = "Server Locked: " .. tostring(value)
end
end)
--Serverlock button
remote:FireServer("ServerLock")
(note it’s just an example so you get the idea)
Of course. You could do that very simple with Remote Events.
You could make a Function in the GUI you want to change like this:
function ChangeButtonPosition(position)
local Success, Error = pcall(function()
script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(position)
end)
if Success then
print("Success!")
return true
else
warn("There was an error!")
return false
end
end
I made the pcall function just in case the position is not a position.
When you change the Position of the button, make the server to :FireAllClients(Button Position) and call the function ChangeButtonPosition on the event OnClientEvent like:
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(ChangeButtonPosition)
