I need help with identifying the name of a GUI element so I can destroy it for all players. The thing is, the GUI names itself to the username of the player who triggered the remoteevent which made the GUI create itself, so now Iām trying to make it destroy for all players when clicked through a remoteevent. How would I reference the GUI element to destroy it for all players? The scripts I currently have are below, let me know if you have any questions regarding it or are confused. Thanks for trying to help!
ServerScript:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
if Message == "!pts" then
game.ReplicatedStorage.PTSRequestGrant:FireAllClients()
end
end)
end)
LocalScript:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
game.ReplicatedStorage.PTSRequestGrant.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(PTSName)
local frameclone = player.PlayerGui.PTSDisplayer.HolderFrame.SampleFrame:Clone()
frameclone.Parent = script.Parent.HolderFrame
frameclone.Visible = true
frameclone.Text = PTSName.." has requested PTS!"
frameclone.Name = PTSName
end)
When one player clicks it, send a remote event to the server. Then fire all clients in a remote event and when they receive it, code it to destroy it. I have code for this below.
This is actually the player instance and not just the name.
To solve your actual question.
Using the MouseButton1Click event you can fire a remotevent and handle it on server, which fires another remote event and handle it on the client to Destroy the guis you want! (using FireAllClients())
button = --put whatever text button or thing here
remote = --put the remote event path here (create it beforehand)
button.activated:connect(function()
remote:FireServer()
end
Server code:
remote = --same remote path as above
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
remote:FireAllClients()
end)
Client Code:
gui = --put the gui to destroy here
remote = --same remote as before
remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
gui:Destroy()
gui = nil
end)
You will want to add verification to prevent exploits but you said it is urgent so that can be done later i suppose.
This would be in addition to the code you sent (I am not 100% sure what the code you sent is forā¦)
EDIT: gtg now so I wont respond any more, hope this helps!
The thing isā¦ I canāt reference the name of it as the name of it changes to the name of the player who triggers the very first remoteevent to fire, so I need to reference the name of the gui element to destroy it which is what I need help with.

local PTSReq = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
PTSReq.Name = "PTSReq"
PTSReq.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
math.randomseed(os.time())
local CurrentPassword = nil
local cooldown = 3
local dbg = false
PTSReq.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Password)
if Password ~= CurrentPassword or CurrentPassword == nil then
Player:Kick("Security Violation")
else
PTSReq:FireAllClients("", 1)
wait(cooldown)
dbg = false
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
if #game.Players:GetPlayers() <= 1 then return end
if dbg then return end
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
if msg:lower():sub(1, 4) == "!pts" then
dbg = true
CurrentPassword = math.random(-2048, 2048)
PTSReq:FireAllClients(Player.Name, 0, CurrentPassword)
end
end)
end)
Client:
local GuiInstances = {}
local PTSReq = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PTSReq")
PTSReq.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Name, RequestType, Password)
if Name == game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name then return end
if RequestType == 0 then
local Gui = script.Gui:Clone()
table.insert(GuiInstances, Gui)
Gui.Main.TextLabel.Text = Name.." has requested pts."
Gui.Main.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
PTSReq:FireServer(Password)
end)
Gui.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
elseif RequestType == 1 then
for i,v in pairs(GuiInstances) do
pcall(function() v:Destroy() end)
end
end
end)

This is too advanced for me and I donāt want a whole rewrite of the script, I simply just want to know how to reference the GUI element as itās the player who said ā!ptsā and triggered the remoteeventsā username.
It is simpleā¦ read it and you will learn from it
here is an explanation:
player types in the command, server sends info to all clients stating the username of the player who said the command, the number 0 and a random number for the password
the clients check the number and see that it is 0, so the clients create a gui and use the username for the text, then when the gui is clicked by the client, the client sends the password back to the server
the server checks the password, and if it is correct it sends back to all the clients the number ā1ā, the clients see that they received a 1 and delete all the GUIs they have created in regards to the script ( it knows which GUIs to delete cause they are added to a table on creation)
