i’m making an script which will look for player using string value and then find PlayerGui inside it.
and yes i’ve seen an post similiar to this but its not the right solution

script:

function onYes()
	if game.Players:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value):IsA("Player") then
	game.Players:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value).PlayerGui.GiveSystem.AddPoint:FireServer(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value)
--	item.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
	script.Parent:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, -200,0,-121))
	wait(1)
	script.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end

Is this a LocalScript.

If so, is this script located inside the PlayerGui?

yes, this is local script and it is inside startergui or you can say playergui.

Either way, you might want to spread out your WaitForChilds like so:

function onYes()
	
	if Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value) then
		local Player = Players[script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value]
		local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
		local GiveSystem = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GiveSystem")
		local AddPoint = GiveSystem:WaitForChild("AddPoint")
		
		AddPoint:FireServer() -- Player is sent automatically
		script.Parent:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, -200,0,-121))
		wait(1)
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end

It may solve your issue.

this script doesn’t work, it doesn’t print any errors now but script just doesn’t work which means that it still has same error.

Try adding a warning to let you know what the problem is:

function onYes()
	
	if Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value) then
		local Player = Players[script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value]
		local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
		local GiveSystem = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GiveSystem")
		local AddPoint = GiveSystem:WaitForChild("AddPoint")
		
		AddPoint:FireServer() -- Player is sent automatically
		script.Parent:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, -200,0,-121))
		wait(1)
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	else
		warn(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value, "was not found in Players")
	end
end

With the warning added, do you see the warning in the output window?

No errors at all?

Also, make sure the line is:

AddPoint:FireServer() -- Player is sent automatically

no, its not the local script player, its player that is found by the value.

That makes sense now.

Try:

function onYes()
	
	if Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value) then
		local Barista = Players[script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value]
		local PlayerGui = Barista:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
		local GiveSystem = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GiveSystem")
		local AddPoint = GiveSystem:WaitForChild("AddPoint")
		
		print("Barista is =", Barista)
		
		AddPoint:FireServer(Barista) -- Client is sent automatically
		script.Parent:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, -200,0,-121))
		wait(1)
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	else
		warn(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value, "was not found in Players")
	end
end
#15

it didn’t print anything for some reasons

#16

Then add a print statement immediately after the function name:

function onYes()
	
	print("OnYes Called")
	
	if Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value) then
		local Barista = Players[script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value]
		local PlayerGui = Barista:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
		local GiveSystem = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GiveSystem")
		local AddPoint = GiveSystem:WaitForChild("AddPoint")
		
		print("Barista is =", Barista)
		
		AddPoint:FireServer(Barista) -- Client is sent automatically
		script.Parent:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, -200,0,-121))
		wait(1)
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	else
		warn(script.Parent.Parent.barista.Value, "was not found in Players")
	end
end

oh my bad i looked on server output window and not local, here is error: Infinite yield possible on ‘Players.Player1:WaitForChild(“PlayerGui”)’

#18

Not sure if this is your problem but, I think this should be:
if game.Players.script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild(“barista”).Value then

#19

Do you see this error when you play without using Testing?

#20

The thing is, players can never see the other PlayersGui.

I think I see your issue now.
