Specific people allowed to click(simple script?)

Hi,

I am creating a script, which allows a specific player to open a button, which would reveal other textbuttons(that other players can’t see). But the script isn’t working.

Replace Activated with MouseButton1Click.

Isn’t mousebutton1click the same as activated?

Once I used Activated as an alternative to MouseButton1Click (for testing purposes), but Activated did not work like MouseButton1Click. Therefore, MouseButton1Click is different from Activated.

local commandbox = script.Parent.TestercommandsBox
local Open = script.Parent.Open
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

Open.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if player.Name == "Ghost8058" then
     commandbox.Visible = true
else
     commandbox.Visible = false
end
end)

I believe Activated is somewhat a new event, or if not, then I must have never heard of it. Normally MouseButton1Click is the action when a player clicks a button, it works on all platforms and I have seen it in other games.
I hope this helps!

Activated is an event that triggers whenever LMB is pressed down. Deactivated is an event that triggers whenever someone lets go of LMB. They are both used for Tools only!

While that is true, it is also on GuiObjects.

It’s a for loop that helps find out if the player is allowed to use the gui. Btw i made a mistake, check the code out again, it should work

Ok here is where you have it wrong “Activated” is something used for tools when it is clicked on. Change the code to

Open.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

Here is how you would add more then one player.

if player.Name == “Ghost8058” or “VeinTweek” or “ROBLOX” then

just keep adding an or.
