Making a gui only visible to VIP server owners

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Ahoy,

I made a GUI recently and tried to show it only for VIP server owners, however this did not work. What i am trying to do is make a vip server benefit GUI. Here is the code i used:

local gui = game.ServerStorage.VIPBENEFITS

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr.UserId == game.PrivateServerOwnerId then
		local cloned = gui:Clone()
		cloned.Parent = game.StarterGui
	end
end)

Please can you help.

Thanks, Kieran!

You are cloning the gui to the StarterGui. It is not in the player’s PlayerGui, so it is not showing up.

		cloned.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
	end
end)
