Hey everyone! 
I’m currently trying to make a hand-to GUI for my roleplay game on Roblox. When a player is holding out an item, inputs a customer’s username and presses a give button, it’ll make a GUI appear on the player who is receiving the items’ screen which’ll ask them if they ordered the item. When they click yes, it’ll hand the item to them, and when they click no, it won’t do anything. This script was recently working perfectly, but I recently decided to add in some code to prevent gamepass items from being handed. As a result of this, the script now does not work. The issue is that the confirm gui doesn’t pop up, meaning the ‘customer’ can’t receive the item. Note that it disappears from the player who’s handing its’ inventory but doesn’t trigger the GUI.
The scripts that I’m using are listed below, let me know if you have the adequate knowledge to provide assistance with this or if you have any questions!
Setup:
ServerScript:
local HandtoEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.HandtoEvent
local ConfirmHandtoEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.ConfirmHandtoEvent
HandtoEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, NameOfPlayerToGive)
local PlayerToGive = game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerToGive)
local Character = Player.Character
local CurrentlyEquippedTool = Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
local ConfirmGUI = PlayerToGive.PlayerGui.ConfirmGUI
if CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "Magic" then
wait(1)
elseif CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "SpeedCoil" then
wait(1)
elseif CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "GravityCoil" then
wait(1)
elseif CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "Mop" then
wait(1)
elseif CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "ManagementWacker" then
wait(1)
else
ConfirmGUI.BackFrame.ConfirmText.Text = Player.Name .. " is handing you a " .. CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name .. ". Would you like to accept?"
ConfirmGUI.PlayerWhoGaveItem.Value = Player.Name
ConfirmGUI.ItemThatWasGiven.Value = CurrentlyEquippedTool
CurrentlyEquippedTool.Parent = ConfirmGUI
end
end)
ConfirmHandtoEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Confirm)
local ConfirmGUI = Player.PlayerGui.ConfirmGUI
local NameOfPlayerWhoGaveItem = ConfirmGUI.PlayerWhoGaveItem.Value
local ItemThatWasGiven = ConfirmGUI.ItemThatWasGiven.Value
if Confirm == true then
ItemThatWasGiven.Parent = Player.Backpack
game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerWhoGaveItem).leaderstats.Points.Value = game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerWhoGaveItem).leaderstats.Points.Value + 1
ConfirmGUI.PlayerWhoGaveItem.Value = ""
ConfirmGUI.ItemThatWasGiven.Value = nil
else
ItemThatWasGiven.Parent = game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerWhoGaveItem).Backpack
end
ConfirmGUI.Enabled = false
end)
LocalScript:
local GroupId = 000000 --Group Id Here
local MinimumRank = 0
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerNameBox = script.Parent.BackFrame.PlayerNameBox
local HandtoButton = script.Parent.HandtoButton
function getFullNameFromPartial(PartialName)
local foundPlayer = nil
local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
for i = 1, #Players do
local CurrentPlayer = Players[i]
if string.lower(CurrentPlayer.Name):sub(1, #PartialName) == string.lower(PartialName) then
foundPlayer = CurrentPlayer.Name
break
end
end
return foundPlayer
end
if Player:GetRankInGroup(GroupId) < MinimumRank then
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
HandtoButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local PartialName = PlayerNameBox.Text
local FullName = getFullNameFromPartial(PartialName)
if FullName ~= Player.Name and game.Players:FindFirstChild(FullName) then
game.ReplicatedStorage.HandtoEvent:FireServer(FullName)
end
end)
if CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "Magic" then
wait(1)
else
if CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "SpeedCoil" then
wait(1)
else
if CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "GravityCoil" then
wait(1)
else
if CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "Mop" then
wait(1)
else
if CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name == "ManagementWacker" then
wait(1)
else
ConfirmGUI.BackFrame.ConfirmText.Text = Player.Name .. " is handing you a " ..
CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name .. ". Would you like to accept?"
ConfirmGUI.PlayerWhoGaveItem.Value = Player.Name
ConfirmGUI.ItemThatWasGiven.Value = CurrentlyEquippedTool
CurrentlyEquippedTool.Parent = ConfirmGUI
end
end
end
end
end
Try this. If it doesn’t work, try to put print() to see where the script reaches.
Also I suggest you to not edit GUIs from server. It can cause some problems.
Instead you should use another or the same event to change the text.

Thank you for the response! Unfortunately, this didn’t work. I’m unsure as to why and I’m not receiving any errors.
The script before that was working before I edited it:
local HandtoEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.HandtoEvent
local ConfirmHandtoEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.ConfirmHandtoEvent
HandtoEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, NameOfPlayerToGive)
local PlayerToGive = game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerToGive)
local Character = Player.Character
local CurrentlyEquippedTool = Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
local ConfirmGUI = PlayerToGive.PlayerGui.ConfirmGUI
ConfirmGUI.Enabled = true
print(ConfirmGUI.Enabled)
ConfirmGUI.BackFrame.ConfirmText.Text = Player.Name .. " is handing you a " .. CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name .. ". Would you like to accept?"
ConfirmGUI.PlayerWhoGaveItem.Value = Player.Name
ConfirmGUI.ItemThatWasGiven.Value = CurrentlyEquippedTool
CurrentlyEquippedTool.Parent = ConfirmGUI
end)
ConfirmHandtoEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Confirm)
local ConfirmGUI = Player.PlayerGui.ConfirmGUI
local NameOfPlayerWhoGaveItem = ConfirmGUI.PlayerWhoGaveItem.Value
local ItemThatWasGiven = ConfirmGUI.ItemThatWasGiven.Value
if Confirm == true then
ItemThatWasGiven.Parent = Player.Backpack
game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerWhoGaveItem).leaderstats.Points.Value = game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerWhoGaveItem).leaderstats.Points.Value + 1
ConfirmGUI.PlayerWhoGaveItem.Value = ""
ConfirmGUI.ItemThatWasGiven.Value = nil
else
ItemThatWasGiven.Parent = game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerWhoGaveItem).Backpack
end
ConfirmGUI.Enabled = false
end)
I recommend you to stop editing guis from the server since that can cause many problems.
Instead of changing it from the server, you can fire an event from the server to the client to send the handing message.
An example(from the same event, you can make another one):
Server:
local HandtoEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.HandtoEvent
local ConfirmHandtoEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.ConfirmHandtoEvent
HandtoEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, NameOfPlayerToGive)
print("Got the event from the client")
local PlayerToGive = game.Players:FindFirstChild(NameOfPlayerToGive)
local Character = Player.Character
local CurrentlyEquippedTool = Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
-- I also suggest that you should check the player's rank if you're doing this for a group game. https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Player/GetRankInGroup
HandtoEvent:FireClient(PlayerToGive, player.Name, CurrentlyEquippedTool.Name)
end)
Client(You can make a local script in the gui or in starterpack):
local HandtoEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.HandtoEvent
HandtoEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(givingplayer, tool)
print("Got the event from the server")
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(givingplayer) then
--[[ If its in the gui:
local ConfirmGUI = script.Parent
ConfirmGUI.Enabled = true
If its in the starterpack(Recommended):
local ConfirmGUI = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ConfirmGUI")
ConfirmGUI.Enabled = true ]]-
ConfirmGUI.BackFrame.ConfirmText.Text = givingplayer.." is handing you a "..tool..". Would you like to accept?"
ConfirmGUI.PlayerWhoGaveItem.Value = givingplayer
ConfirmGUI.ItemThatWasGiven.Value = tool
end
end)
