I’m trying to make a player dialogue GUI its similar to this
image
but instead of changing to a random player like the picture up there
it didn’t even turn into a player like this:
https://gyazo.com/979c27f589c79474ae875404b85571f5
a random player should say “Yay!” but instead the teacher said it
script:

DialogueScript:

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

local createDialogueEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.createDialogueEvent
local hideDialogueEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.hideDialogueEvent
local setDialogueImageEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.setDialogueImageEvent

local richText = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.RichText)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local dialogueFrame = player.PlayerGui.MainGui.DialogueFrame

local function swooshSound()
	local sound = Instance.new("Sound",game.ReplicatedStorage)
	sound.PlaybackSpeed = 1
	sound.Volume = 1
	sound.PlayOnRemove = true
	sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://4845387138"
	sound:Destroy()
end

hideDialogueEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	
	StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, true)
	
	swooshSound()
	dialogueFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,2,0),.1)
end)

createDialogueEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(english,spanish)
	if dialogueFrame.Position ~= UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.85,0) then
		
		StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)
		
		dialogueFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.85,0),.1)
		
	end
	
	local ln = game:GetService("LocalizationService").RobloxLocaleId
	local content = english
	if ln == "en-us" then
		content = english
	elseif ln == "es-es" then
		if spanish then
			content = spanish
		end
	end
	
	local textObject = richText:New(dialogueFrame.textFrame, content)
	textObject:Animate(true)
end)

-- Viewport Script Starts Here

local function cleanVPF()

	if dialogueFrame.ViewportFrame:FindFirstChildOfClass("Model") then
		dialogueFrame.ViewportFrame:FindFirstChildOfClass("Model"):Destroy()
	end

	if dialogueFrame.ViewportFrame:FindFirstChildOfClass("Camera") then
		dialogueFrame.ViewportFrame:FindFirstChildOfClass("Camera"):Destroy()
	end

end

setDialogueImageEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(charName,color)

	dialogueFrame.nameLabel.TextColor3 = color
	dialogueFrame.nameLabel.Text = charName

	local vpCharacter = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(charName)
	if vpCharacter then
		
		cleanVPF()
		
		local obj = vpCharacter:Clone()
		obj.Parent = dialogueFrame.ViewportFrame
		
		local cam = Instance.new("Camera")
		cam.Parent = dialogueFrame.ViewportFrame
		
		cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(obj.Head.Position + (obj.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector*2), obj.Head.Position)
		
		dialogueFrame.ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = cam
		
	else
		warn(charName .. " is not in ReplicatedStorage")
	end
	
end)

MainScript:

local createDialogueEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.createDialogueEvent
local hideDialogueEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.hideDialogueEvent
local setDialogueImageEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.setDialogueImageEvent

local randomPlayername
local randomplayerid

local function getPlayerImage(player_id)
	local content, isReady = game:GetService("Players"):GetUserThumbnailAsync(player_id, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
	return content
end

local function getRandomPlayer()
	local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	local number = math.random(1,#players)
	local randomplayers = players[number]
	randomPlayername = randomplayers.Name
	randomplayerid = randomplayers.UserId
end

setDialogueImageEvent:FireAllClients("Teacher", Color3.new(0, 0.384314, 1))

createDialogueEvent:FireAllClients("")

wait(0.5)

createDialogueEvent:FireAllClients("Hello!")

wait(2)

createDialogueEvent:FireAllClients("I'm Stephen Your teacher and today is a very special day for us Because today we are going Camping!")

wait(3)

setDialogueImageEvent:FireAllClients(getRandomPlayer(randomplayerid, randomPlayername) , Color3.new(0, 0.384314, 1))

createDialogueEvent:FireAllClients("Yay!")

Error:

Players.dirtandra123.PlayerGui.MainGui.DialogueScript:69: invalid argument #3 (string expected, got nil)

Any solutions??

#2

What is near line 69? We need to know the code to find the error.

#3 
dialogueFrame.nameLabel.Text = charName
#4

You only got 2 parameters in your DialogScript, while the other one:

You got 3 parameters? (Plus that getRandomPlayer function which results as a nil value), I’m guessing it’s cause in this function here:

My guess is that since it’s local, it’ll return back as nil so could you try removing that?

#5

I put it in normal script while Dialoguescript is a local script

#6

I meant changing the local function to a regular function, if that doesn’t work could you add some print() statements to define what charName is supposed to be?

#7

it didn’t work the same as before

#8

Can you try to do:

print(tostring(charName), tostring(color))

And send me what it printed?

#9 
Teacher 0, 0.384314, 1
1 Like
#10

And the error is on the line with namelabel.Text = charName?
Can you send me image of the Frame how it looks like in StarterGui?

#11

image

#12

I mean Gui set up.
Like: ScreenGui
->Frame
–>TextLabel
etc.

#13

image

#14

Can you try to do

nameLabel.Text = tostring(charName)
#15

still the same
Argument 1 missing or nil
on line 72

local vpCharacter = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(charName)
#16

Is the Character inside the Workspace?
Is it named Teacher?

#17

I want to make random players say “Yay!” the teacher’s part works but not the random player
