PlayerGui problems

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hello,

So I have a script in the workspace and NOT a LocalScript cause the LocalScript doesn’t works there ofcourse. Now that script in the workspace chekcs how many trees there are left. And if there are 0 trees left the main menu needs to open. But I can’t acces the PlayerGui with a normal Script.

So does anyone know how I can finally solve this? PLEASE HELP!

Remote Events are a way of communicating between the client and the server. Once you want the main menu to open, fire a remote event from your script in workspace to a local script in PlayerGui.

From the local script, once the event is detected, you can now easily show the main menu.

just use the playeradded parameter and get playergui

Can you show me how? Cause I’ve already tried to do that but didn’t worked.

I did that like 1 hour ago and that didn’t worked but for somehow it did worked in one of my games that I created this past year(2021).

send your script and I’ll add a playeradded to it and make it work

First, you need to create a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage. For this example, we will name it “OpenMenu”.

Now from the server, once there are no trees left, fire the RemoteEvent to the client.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local OpenMenu = ReplicatedStorage.OpenMenu

-- your code
OpenMenu:FireAllClients()

Now, make a local script under the gui you want to show.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local OpenMenu = ReplicatedStorage.OpenMenu

local menu = script.Parent

OpenMenu.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
        menu.Visible = true
end)

@iscriptfast, @Friendly4Crafter
This is the current script;

local log = script.Parent.Trunk
local leaves = script.Parent.Leaves1
local hits = 0 
local totalHits = 5

local treeLeft = game.Workspace.TreeArea.Trees.TreeCount

print(hits)


log.Touched:Connect(function(hit, player)
	if hit.Parent.Name == "WoodenAxe" then
		hits = hits + 1

		if hits == totalHits then
			print(hits)

			treeLeft.Value -= 1

			hits = 0
			log.Anchored = false
			leaves.Anchored = false
			leaves.CanCollide = false
			wait()
			log.Rotation = Vector3.new(45,0,0)
			wait(3)
			log:Destroy()
			

			


			local value = game.Workspace.TreeArea.Trees.TreeCount

			local script = script.Parent

			local TreeFolder = game.Workspace.TreeArea

			local Players = game:GetService("Players")

			local BindableEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("TreeCheck")
			print("yea;;; The first one")

			if value.Value == 0 then
				local function showGui(player)

					TreeFolder:Destroy()

					local HomeMenu = player.PlayerGui.HomeMenu
					HomeMenu.Enabled = true
				end
				
				showGui()
			end
			
		end
	end
end)

I edited the scripts and nothing… The main menu doesn’t shows.

I put the scripts that were in the workspace in ServerScriptService and the LocalScript inside the GUI. And I changed them to what you said with the RemoteEvents. And still it doesn’t works.

change this to:

showGui(Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent.Parent))

“WoodenAxe” is a tool, I assume

also, “Touched” event doesn’t gives you a “player” argument, so no need to keep it
