Hello! So Im trying to make a Elimination game, Ok neverminded by now you get the point if you saw my last post.... Lastly x2 considering my script STILL DOESNT WANT TO WORK WITH ME >:( Basically, Im trying to make it so that a Text will show, It will explain to the players how to play the game, when Its done the baseplate will start to shrink, when theirs one more player in the game then, the text will pop back up explaining that they won and then their supposed to get a badge ( when I have the robux to make it ) and then they will get kicked from the game! ( or teleported to a sequel if I do end up having people liking the game! )

Here is the Script

-- Defining Variables
local TutorialText = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TutorialText
local BaseplateStrinkScript = game.Workspace.Baseplate.Script
local kickHandlerScript = game.ServerScriptService.KickHandler
local playersInServer = #game.Players:GetPlayers()

local PlayerGui = game:GetService("PlayerGui")

-- First Line Of Code
BaseplateStrinkScript.Disabled = true
kickHandlerScript.Disabled = true

-- Game Startup

local function StartTheGame()
	kickHandlerScript.Disabled = false
	wait(5)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Visible = true
	wait(4)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Text = "In this game, Players must use the cars and Knock eachother off the Baseplate!"
	wait(7)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Text = "The Baseplate Will Strink Slowly so make sure you dont fall!"
	wait(7)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Text = "The Last player Standing Wins!"
	wait(5)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Text = "Goodluck, Players!"
	wait(5)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Visible = false
	BaseplateStrinkScript.Disabled = false
end

-- Looking For The Winner
local function StopTheGameAWinnerHasBeenChosen()
	BaseplateStrinkScript.Disabled = true
	wait(5)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Visible = true
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Text = "Great Job Player!"
	wait(4)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Text = "Looks Like you have Won the game!"
	wait(5)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Text = "Your now one of the Best Fighters In Robloxia!"
	wait(7)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Text = "You were truley a Bloxer, you Deserve This Medal!"
	wait(5)
	PlayerGui.TutorialText.Text = "Congrats and, Goodbye!"
end

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
	if #game.Players:GetPlayers() == 1 then
		StopTheGameAWinnerHasBeenChosen()
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
	if #game.Players:GetPlayers() == math.random(2,20) then -- Checks if the playerlist has 2 all of the way to 20 players.
		StartTheGame()
	end
end)

Here is the Error

  11:34:49.045  ServerScriptService.MainScript:36: attempt to index nil with 'TutorialText'  -  Server - MainScript:36
  11:34:49.045  Stack Begin  -  Studio

Pretty sure there’s no service called PlayerGui.

When I dont put that their then, for some reason, I get a syntax error with everything that has PlayerGui followed up by the Tutorial Text

What Else can I do for this to show up for all players?

#4

You could use a RemoteEvent to change the text in each player’s PlayerGui.

#5

No the text changes, the GUI wont show up for any player though

#6

You’ll need to have a ScreenGui in StarterGui with a TextLabel parented to it. It looks like you’re currently trying to change the text property of a direct child of StarterGui.

Edit:

Here’s a thread where someone did something similar:

#7

You have to get playerGui from the player since playerGui is a member of the player. PlayerGui Is not a service.

#8 
local PlayerGui = game.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui

(or something that go find the player instead of LocalPlayer)

Didn’t work

#10

Its because its a server script

Because I said this:

You won’t ever be able to get this to work. If you try to index LocalPlayer, you’ll be obligated to use a LocalScript, which isn’t able to access ServerScriptService or ServerStorage.

And also, you better remake all of of this, because the code is bad. You should learn more about scripting, until you think you’re ready. Try not to make a game so early.

@rtvr56565 , the issue is that you forgot to index the Players folder:

game.Players.LocalPlayer -- The correct.

You want to get the player somehow and get the playerGui member in them.
Example how to get player gui:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
end)

oh, yea i forget it, thanks to correct me :smiley:

The whole script breaks just if Im trying to get the GUI to show.

Have you tried doing what I’ve said yet? I think it might solve your issue.

Early? Idk why people keep saying that I should learn more scripting, as long as a script works for me then, Im fine with it, Everyone scripts differently after all

#17

I think I might of found a problem. Get tutorial text through the player gui. You have an error where where the script cannot find the tutorial text.

It doesn’t work, because your defining a variable inside of that function you made, the variable will only be called inside of that function

#19

You’re gonna have to identify the local player in order to get this…

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = plr.PlayerGui

Then make it a global variable by not putting local.
