How to show a gui to all clients

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    Basically I want to be able to show a gui to all clients.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I somewhat know how to, though the gui is only visible to the local player.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I’ve looked through the Dev hub and my best guess is to loop through all clients playerGui and show it.

In a server script, I fire a remote event to all clients. Then on a local script I recieve the event and show the relative stuff. The problem is that the local player only sees the stuff, in this case a headshot of their player profile. How would I make this available for everyone to see. Perhaps I show the gui on the server?

Server script

game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerProfile:FireAllClients()

Local script

local templatetextlabel = script.Parent.Parent.WinnerGui.Template:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players
local frame = script.Parent.Parent.WinnerGui:WaitForChild("Template")

game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerProfile.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()

	local userId = player.UserId
	local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
	local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
	local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
	frame.Visible = true
	
	local imageLabel = script.Parent.Parent.WinnerGui.Template.Frame:GetChildren()
	imageLabel = imageLabel[math.random(1, #imageLabel)]
	imageLabel.Visible = true
	imageLabel.Image = content
	
	templatetextlabel:Clone()
	templatetextlabel.Visible = true
	templatetextlabel.Position = imageLabel.Position - UDim2.new(0.002,0,0,0)
	
	while wait() do
	templatetextlabel.Text = "Kills:" .. player.leaderstats.Kills.Value
	end
	
	print("fired")
end)

Is there any way to show the UI to all clients, how would it even know to get the player’s userID then?

#2

what exactly would you like to show?

#3

I want to show each Player’s profile picture, and their kills amount.

#5

try this:

local templatetextlabel = script.Parent.Parent.WinnerGui.Template:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
local frame = script.Parent.Parent.WinnerGui:WaitForChild("Template")

game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerProfile.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	   local userId = player.UserId
	   local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
       local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
	   local content, isReady = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
	   frame.Visible = true
	    
	   local imageLabel = script.Parent.Parent.WinnerGui.Template.Frame:GetChildren()
	   imageLabel = imageLabel[i]
       imageLabel.Visible = true
	   imageLabel.Image = content
	
	   templatetextlabel:Clone()
	   templatetextlabel.Visible = true
	   templatetextlabel.Position = imageLabel.Position - UDim2.new(0.002,0,0,0)

       templatetextlabel.Text = "Kills:" .. player.leaderstats.Kills.Value
    end
end)

you did get the gui to all clients part… just you didn’t loop through the players

#6

For some reason it says “UserId” is not a valid member of player?

#8

That is my output.

Player’s is undefined. So I switched to players.

#9

wait… Player is defined in the loop players isn’t do

local content, isReady = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)

and replace that line

Oh wait that’s not the issue, lol. I changed to player and it says UserId is not a valid member of “Players”. But on this line…

local userId = player.UserId ?

#11

just copy this:

I edited it
srry for the confusion

#12

Nope, I still get the same error. “UserId is not a valid member of Players”, perhaps it’s because getting UserId from the service “Players” and not a Player instance? Edit: Never mind I don’t think thats why.

#13

you are not supposed to use Players. Use an actual player instance. just copy my code above

#14

The same error keeps coming back and forth, dunno why.

#15

wait so what exactly are you trying to do here?

#16

I’m firing a remote event to all clients from the server. In a local script I pick up that event and show the above code. I’m trying to make each clients profile visible to everyone, however, I don’t know how.

#17

does it still occur? if yes then can u show me your current code?

#18

Yes it still errors, this is the current code…

local templatetextlabel = script.Parent.Parent.WinnerGui.Template:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
local frame = script.Parent.Parent.WinnerGui:WaitForChild("Template")

game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerProfile.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	frame.Visible = true
	for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local userId = player.UserId
		local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
		local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
		local content, isReady = player:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
			
		local imageLabel = script.Parent.Parent.WinnerGui.Template.Frame:GetChildren()
		imageLabel = imageLabel[i]
		imageLabel.Visible = true
		imageLabel.Image = content
		
		templatetextlabel:Clone()
		templatetextlabel.Visible = true
		templatetextlabel.Position = imageLabel.Position - UDim2.new(0.002,0,0,0)
		
		templatetextlabel.Text = "Kills:" .. player.leaderstats.Kills.Value
	end
end)
#19

your line

local content, isReady = player:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)

should be

local content, isReady = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
#20

print the players user id and check if the function really is a valid member of the player service or the player

#22

No UserId is printed. That same error keeps showing up on this line.
local userId = player.UserId
