Module Script can't find Gui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I made a check for my module script and I ran it via a serverside script. I was wondering why it states that the GUI isn’t a child of PlayerGui yet it shows up on my screen? I ran a script to get all of my PlayerGui’s and it says only Free Camera is there.

ws = game:GetService("Workspace")
objects = ws:FindFirstChild("DroppedObjects")
radius = 10

function checks(player,target,vtype)
	print(player.Name)
	if target then
		if (target.Position - ws:WaitForChild(player.Name).HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude <= radius then
			if target:IsDescendantOf(objects) then
				if vtype == 'guiCheck' then
					if player.PlayerGui.ItemDetection.Message.Visible == true then
						return true
					else
						return false
					end
				else
					return true
				end
			else
				return false
			end
		else
			return false
		end
	end
end

return checks

the server does not see guis in playergui, run the module from a localscript

Hm, how should I check on the server if a gui is visible then? (to prevent exploits)

don’t rely on the gui being visible in order to check, use a value on the server
