Have you sent a server event using “game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()”?

You’ve only defined the event.
You will need to call it afterward.
In this situation, I wouldn’t use a RemoteEvent in my opinion, and would just leave the script.Parent.Visible by itself.
But, if you were to call it, you would call it as game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer().
EDIT:
Also, this is unrelated but you don’t need to use == true at the end in your if statement. It will still evaluate correctly without it.

I have the 'game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer() in a local script in StarterGui with nothing else… is this wrong or do I need to somewhere else?

You should keep events mostly outside of regular functions. In you’re case you should call your startEvent() function from inside your OnServerEvent event.
It’s also best practice to use :FindFirstChild rather than straight indexing from the hierarchy. You should also try and keep more variables instead of indexing each item one at a time.
Script:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent") -- Remote name
local function StartEvent()
--- Event stuff
end
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
-- When fired execute
if standingOnPart1 == true and standingOnPart2 == true then -- Condition
script.Parent.Visible = true
-- Room to call StartEvent
end
end)
Local Script:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent") -- Remote name
RemoteEvent:FireServer()

What are you trying to call an event for?

Thank you very much for the help, I added your script but the GUI still isnt showing up…
--VARIABLES
local part1 = game.Workspace.Player1
local part2 = game.Workspace.Player2
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--PLAYER 1 START
part1.Touched:Connect(function()
part1.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Teal")
end)
part1.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
part1.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Smoky grey")
end)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--PLAYER 2 START
part2.Touched:Connect(function()
part2.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Teal")
end)
part2.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
part2.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Smoky grey")
end)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local standingOnPart1 = false
local standingOnPart2 = false
local function startEvent()
end
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
-- When fired execute
if standingOnPart1 == true and standingOnPart2 == true then -- Condition
script.Parent.Visible = true
-- Room to call StartEvent
end
end)
part1.Touched:Connect(function(touched)
local playerTouchedOrNot = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(touched.Parent)
if playerTouchedOrNot then
if standingOnPart1 ~= true and part2.Name ~= playerTouchedOrNot.Name then
standingOnPart1 = true
part1.Name = playerTouchedOrNot.Name
startEvent()
end
end
end)
part1.TouchEnded:Connect(function(touched)
local playerTouchedOrNot = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(touched.Parent)
if playerTouchedOrNot then
if standingOnPart1 ~= false and part1.Name == playerTouchedOrNot.Name then
standingOnPart1 = false
part1.Name = "part1"
end
end
end)
part2.Touched:Connect(function(touched)
local playerTouchedOrNot = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(touched.Parent)
if playerTouchedOrNot then
if standingOnPart2 ~= true and part1.Name ~= playerTouchedOrNot.Name then
standingOnPart2 = true
part2.Name = playerTouchedOrNot.Name
startEvent()
end
end
end)
part2.TouchEnded:Connect(function(touched)
local playerTouchedOrNot = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(touched.Parent)
if playerTouchedOrNot then
if standingOnPart2 ~= false and part2.Name == playerTouchedOrNot.Name then
standingOnPart2 = false
part2.Name = "part2"
end
end

I got told by someone that I need to call an event in order to make the gui show up

Your event is called immediately, with no response set yet.
Essentially, you’re calling a blank function.

Oh ok, thanks, how would i set a response?

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer() -- call the event
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr) -- receive event
--what you want to happen

I believe I have got that in my script yet it’s still not working

You could send the “OK” with another RemoteEvent, but that would be more code than necessary.
Personally I wouldn’t use a RemoteEvent in this situation altogether.

Is the Fire and Receive in the same script?

No the recieve is in a server script and the fire is in a local script

I’m a little bit confused. If your receiving script is in ServerScriptService then why does it say “script.Parent.Visible = true”?

The event is defined in a normal script. Calling FireServer will throw an error if used from the same script. Normal scripts can only call FireClient or FireAllClients.

In your receiving script it says, “script.Parent.Visible = true” but you can’t make ServerScriptService invisible/visible
