My function isnt calling

#1

code:

local function hit()
	game.StarterGui.DEATH.Enabled = true
	wait(2)
	game.StarterGui.DEATH.Frame.Transparency = 0.1
end

if game.Workspace.fencehit.Touched:Connect(hit) then
	
	end

no errors in the code and nothing prints in the output when i touch the “fencehit” part, but the UI isn’t changing, please help.

You don’t need an if statement for Touched event.

#3

There are many things wrong with this. You are trying to place a connection in an if statement, and changing the values of a object in StarterGui which wont affect anything until the player respawns.

Assuming a GUI named DEATH is already in StarterGui and replicated to the client and that this is a local script, this would probably do the thing you want:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

workspace:WaitForChild("fencehit").Touched:Connect(function()
	plr.PlayerGui.DEATH.Enabled = true
	task.wait(2)
	plr.PlayerGui.DEATH.Frame.Transparency = 0.1
end)

this code still didn’t do anything

#5

What are you exactly trying to do, and where is this script located?

#6

script is located inside the part i want to make the ui appear
and i am trying to make it so the ui appears and then slowly fades after 2 seconds (i already did the fade part of the code just didnt put it in the one i posted)

#7

fencehit is the parent of the script

#8

Is it a LocalScript, can you send a screenshot of it’s place in explorer?

#9

its a local script and its the child of fencehit which is a child of workspace

LocalScripts don’t run when they are a descendant of Workspace. Try moving the script to StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts

#12

Tell me if I’m wrong but isn’t local scripts supposed to be in either starter gui or starter player/character scipts
