MouseHoverEnter- and MouseHoverLeave not working

[iDertus7 (Ignosce)]

Hello.

I am trying to make a system that displays a screengui that is inside startergui, whenever your mouse hovers over “CDPart”, it would make a screengui visible.

Here is my code.

repeat wait(3) until game:IsLoaded()

local clickDetector = script.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("ClickDetector")
local CDpart = script.Parent

clickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function(player)
	print("Test")
end)

clickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function(player)
	print("Test")
end)

I suspect the code is not the problem, as nothing is wrong in input.

This is the layout in my workspace:

You can’t use local scripts in the workspace!

[iDertus7 (Ignosce)]

Shoot you’re right, I didn’t know this.

Thank you, it works now!

[iDertus7 (Ignosce)]

By the way, do you happen to know if Screenguis can be changed from the workspace?

[MrSuperKrut (BarelyUnbearable)]

What do you mean by this?

Technically, screenGuis can be changed from anywhere. And to the original post you could use the local script, you just needed to copy-paste the code into a server script, and then set the Script.RunContext to Client

[iDertus7 (Ignosce)]

Hey.

I did that, I copied the localscript and pasted into s-script, changed runcontext into client and the prints work.

The problem is that for some reason, the screengui located in startergui is not changing.

Here is my current code:

repeat wait(1) until game:IsLoaded()

local clickDetector = script.Parent
local CDpart = script.Parent.Parent
local Startergui = game:FindFirstChild("StarterGui")

local CDGui = Startergui.ClickDetector.Frame.TextLabel.Text

clickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function(player)
	print("touching")
	CDGui = "Insert tape"
end)

clickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function(player)
	print("nottouching")
	CDGui = " "
end)

Because gui that players see differ from what is in StarterGui.

You see, StarterGui contains original ScreenGui

To get the actual player gui, you have to use this method:

local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local localPlr = Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = localPlr:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')

PlayerGui is basically a clone of StarterGui, the difference being that it’s what players actually see. The rest is the same

Oh shoot I remember having this problem.

This came to my mind but I didn’t quite remember.

Thank you for the help, i’ll mark this as the solution if this works.

[iDertus7 (Ignosce)]

Still nothing.

Here is the new code:

repeat wait(1) until game:IsLoaded()

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = plr:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')

wait(1)

local clickDetector = script.Parent
local CDpart = script.Parent.Parent

local CDGui = plrGui.ClickDetector.Frame.TextLabel
local text = CDGui.Text

clickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function(player)
	print("touching")
	CDGui = "Insert tape"
end)

clickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function(player)
	print("nottouching")
	CDGui = " "
end)

I think you forgot to put .Text when changing text

[iDertus7 (Ignosce)]

I didn’t notice that. I changed it, but still nothing.

This is very strange.

[yoshicoolTV (coolyoshi)]

Where exactly did you put the local script now

[MrSuperKrut (BarelyUnbearable)]

Are you using text variable that you defined after CDGui? Changing text will have no effect

[iDertus7 (Ignosce)]

Right now it is in CDPart.

This is the current script

repeat wait(1) until game:IsLoaded()

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = plr:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')

wait(1)

local clickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local CDpart = script.Parent

local CDGui = plrGui.ClickDetector.Frame.TextLabel
local text = CDGui.Text

clickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function(player)
	print("touching")
	text = "Insert tape"
end)

clickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:Connect(function(player)
	print("nottouching")
	text = " "
end)

[iDertus7 (Ignosce)]

I got it to work now, I removed the “text” variable and just went with CDGui.Text = " "

[MrSuperKrut (BarelyUnbearable)]

Replace text with CDGui.Text

text is a copy of a CFGui.Text value, which means changing either of these will not change the other one’s value

[iDertus7 (Ignosce)]

That is right, i’ll mark this as solution.
