How to allow ui to appear for only select users?

Hello, everyone.

How would I make ui appear for only select users?
For example, in epic mini games, it would show “well done” to only people who won the round.

Is there a way I could store all the selected users in a table, and fire only to them?
I don’t want to fire one at a time, cuz it’ll be too slow.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you

There is no way to do this I don’t think, the only way is to loop through the table and change the UI. I don’t think this would make it that slow though so I would not really worry.

You could do that pretty easily. I assume the request is coming from the server, so you’d just have the table of winners and use a loop to fire a RemoteEvent to the client, which simply displays the well done screen.

It would look something like this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local winnerTable = {} -- Table of IDs
for _, v in pairs(winnerTable) do

   local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserID(v)
   local playerRemote = -- Where ever the remote is within the player
   playerRemote:FireClient()

end

Well, I understand this approach completely.

But I’m saying, is there a way to apply some form of Fireallclients or basically fire all selected clients at the same time rather than loop?

Yes there is a way,
Here is how

local table_of_players = {
"coolguyweir";
"AnimationKrazy"
}
for i = 1,#table_of_players do
local Player = table_of_players[i]
remoteevent:FireClient(Player)
end

or

for i,v in pairs(table_of_players) do
remoteevent:FireClient(v)
end

You can see the player(s) who won and create a value with their name(s), use FireAllClients and if that client(s) found his / their name under the folder with the values than enable the gui else disabled it

is there a winning team? just get all players and check if they are in winning team (if you want it to appear for winners)

This would son like a cheap way to do that but maybe you could make it so when the round ends the winner is still on the platform, and you could move the Position of a part when the round ends, by touching this part it would make the gui saying “Well done” appear and disappear after a couple of seconds

Server:

local event = somthnegng -- event here, event should be in replicated storage
local PlrsThatWon = {"Bob"}
local players = game:GetService("Players")
for i,plr in pairs(PlrsThatWon) do
	event:FireClient(players[plr])
end

Client:

local event = somengrGARG -- event used in server script
local winUI = something -- winner UI frame
event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	winUI.Visible = true
	task.wait(5)
	winUI.Visible = false -- just make it disappear after 5s
end)

local winners = {elomala, coolguyweir, SummerLife, funniman232, Trollguy21412} --whatever the winners are
for i, v in pairs(winners) do
    local player = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(v)
    local GUI = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:FindFirstChild("WellDone") --whatever the GUI name is
    GUI.Visible = true
end

You would have to get the players User ID to do this.

Faster method would be to send the table of select users to each client via fire all clients then just do a simple if table.find(selectUsers, localplayer.UserId).

I believe you mean it this way.

Ok, the round is over you either send some event or a function when that happens and when “firing” it you send the parameter where it states who the winner is and then when on the script of the function you make a gui visible on that players playergui or just clone them a gui from somewhere.
Of course if there is many you could send the table containing all the winners too
