How can I make a script that opens a GUI when a part is clicked?

MisterTypo · January 23, 2022, 10:39pm

I’ve been using YouTube and brainstorming how I can make a script that opens a GUI when a part is clicked, however, I just can’t figure it out. Any help?

Thanks!

Put a click detector in the part and make a script that gets your mouse input and when you click it using that click detector it will access the playergui to open the gui

Have a click detector inside of your part
Then with a local script Try something like this

local clickdetector = game.Workspace.Part.ClickDetector

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
     script.Parent.YourGui.Visible = true
end

Hey! In the part, you need a ClickDetector and a regular Script.

local clickdetector = script.parent.ClickDetector

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
     plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("GUI_NAME").Enabled = true
end)

Put a click detector in the part, and a remoteevent in replicatedstorage

Script inside part:

local cd = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local rs = game.ReplicatedStorage

cd.MouseClick:Connect(function()
     rs.RemoteEvent:FireClient() --Add args if you want
end)

LocalScript in StarterGui

local rs = game.ReplicatedStorage

rs.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
     script.Parent.Visible = true
end)

Should the GUI be in the part?

No, it should be StarterGui, and the LocalScript should be inside of the frame that is being shown

found my mistake, go into the script and do this:

cd.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)
rs.RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player)

and in the localscript:

rs.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Player)

i recommend you using @NotNlkko answer, you don’t have to use an event for this.

I used his, but this is what I get.

InvalidRaycast · January 24, 2022, 4:29am

Frame/ scroll frame/ buttons/ labels:
Change .Enabled to .Visible
Script:
change .Enabled to .Disabled

I see your problem, replace

plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("RecruitmentComputerGUI").Enabled = true

to

script.Parent.RecruitmentComputerGUI.Parent = plr.PlayerGui

oh sorry lol
try changing

.RecruitmentComputerGUI

to

:FindFirstChild("RecruitmentComputerGUI")

or

:WaitForChild("RecruitmentComputerGUI", 24)

also i see that your trying to move the UI,
do you want to use :Clone() function instead?

Can I just message you via Discord? It’d be so much easier.
