Hey guys I recently made a wordle clone on roblox for a video (releasing in 2 days) but I wanted to take it further and make a head to head mode, but thats besides the point, while making this I made a gui that has a list of the players in the game and when you click on one, the person that you clicked on gets a message for if they want to go to the head to head mode, however I keep getting an error (mentioned in the title). Anyways on how I can fix this?? Here is the click script in the GUI button:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local playerName = script.Parent.Text
	local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerName)
	if player then
		if player ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer and not player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Wordle"):FindFirstChild("Request") then
			local req = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Wordle")["1v1Request"]:Clone()
			req.Name = "Request"
			req.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.156,0)
			req.Visible = true
			local tween = req:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.202, 0, 0.156,0), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, 1)
		end
	end
end)

try doing player:WaitForChild(“PlayerGui”)

I have tried it results in an infinite yield!

#4

You can’t access another player’s player gui from a local script, use a remote event instead

#5

So this is what I thought, so I made a remote function to return me the players player gui, would this still not work, would it still need to be edited on the server?

#6

You should edit them on the server or the other player’s client

#7

Alright I’ll try it out! (characters)

#8

Thanks it works, but it gives me an error saying “Can only tween objects in the workspace” (on the line where I tween gui Size, or try too lol)

#9

You didn’t set the parent of the gui after you cloned it

#10

Ahh that is true but I also researched and found you cant tween someones player gui from the server.

#11

Is that script inside a local script?

#12

The client can handle tweening a lot better anyway, you shouldn’t be attempting to tween locally replicated instances (instances which only replicate to a single client) on the server.
