How do I make it so that I can change a client's UI?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I’m trying to make a learning game on how you can protect your ROBLOX account, I’m making a NPC that will guide you along the way and I need to make it so that for the Bacon Hairs text that it will come up for that client only and I don’t have to go to starter GUI to define the players GUI

Here’s the Script RN

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent

local BaconHairGUI = game.StarterGui.BaconGui

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	
end)
#2

You want to use remote events in this situation. When a player triggeres the ProximityPrompt, a remote event will be fired to the client. And then the client will do the rest of the work.

Heres an example:
You want to insert a remote event in ReplicatedStorage and name it to BaconEvent. Then you use the following code below for your server script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Event = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BaconEvent")
local Prompt = script.Parent

Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
   Event:FireClient(player)
end)

Then you want to insert a LocalScript in your Gui that you want the player who triggered the ProximityPrompt to see.
Then use the following code below:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Event = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BaconEvent")

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
   -- Your code for gui
end)

Why doesn’t the player have any properties?

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Event = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BaconHairQuest1")

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
	player.
end)

This gets a syntax error for some reason

@BabyNinjaTime the script errors

			wait(0.05)
		end
	end
end)

typewrite(BaconHairText, "Hello! Im Bacon, Do you need something?")

The second code I have given is meant to be in a LocalScript, which should be somewhere inside your gui
This code should be in a LocalScript:

Also, when firing a remote event using FireClient(), there is no first argument that includes the player. The first argument will only be whatever we send to the client, not the player. And in this case, there are no arguments whatsoever.

Why does the typewriter effect not work?

Could you show your current code in your LocalScript?

How do I tween text to make each letter come up next?

Can I see the hierarchy of your gui?

Everything works, its just the type writer effect that’s not working.

Oh, I see the problem. Move the typewrite function out of the event. You’re probably getting “unknown global ‘typewrite’”.

I think i found the issue.
Try this code for your local script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Event = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BaconHairQuest1")
local BaconHairText = script.Parent.BaconGui.DialogeFrame:WaitForChild("TextLabel")

local function typewrite(object, text)
	for i = 1,#text,1 do
		object.Text = string.sub(text,1,i)
		wait(0.05)
	end
end

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.BaconGui.DialogeFrame.Visible = true
	typewrite(BaconHairText, "Hello! Im Bacon, Do you need something?")
end)

Theirs a bug, whenever I spam E, the text starts to replay at rapid speeds and even copies itself and breaks

#14

You should have the prompt disabled when triggered. Then make the script wait for until the text stops, and reenable the proximityprompt

You should add debounce here.
