spectateClone not a valid member of ServerStorage

#1

Hey, so I made a spectate script and I was trying to make it only for people who are in the lobby.

What I did is remove the gui from the person if the player is not on the lobby team then clone it back to them once the round is over

but I got an error telling me that SpectateGui is not avaliable in ServerStorage even though it is in ServerStorage.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local team
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera 

local spectate = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Spectate")
local lobbyTeam = game:GetService("Teams").Lobby
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local contestants = {}
local current = 1

local maxContestants = 0

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()

        contestants = {}

        for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
            table.insert(contestants,v)
        end
        for _,plr in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
            if plr.Team ~= lobbyTeam and ReplicatedStorage.InRound.Value == true then
                local spectate = plr.PlayerGui.SpectateGui
                spectate:Destroy()
            elseif ReplicatedStorage.InRound.Value == false then
                local spectateClone = game:GetService("ServerStorage").SpectateGui:Clone()
                
                for i,v in pairs(game:GetService(“Players”):GetChildren()) do
                     if v.PlayerGui.SpectateGui then
                        v.PlayerGui.SpectateGui:Destroy()
                     end
                end
                spectateClone.Parent = plr.PlayerGUI
            end
        end
        camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Follow

        if #contestants <= maxContestants then
            spectate.SpectateFrame.Visible = false
            camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Humanoid
        end

        if spectate.SpectateFrame.Visible == true then
            local playerSpectating = contestants[current]
            if not playerSpectating then playerSpectating = contestants[1] end

            local char = playerSpectating.Character

            if char and char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then camera.CameraSubject = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") end

            spectate.SpectateFrame.Current.Text = playerSpectating.Name

        elseif spectate.SpectateFrame.Visible == false then 
            camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Humanoid 
        end

    end)

spectate.SpectateButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

        if #contestants <= maxContestants then return end
        if player.Team ~= lobbyTeam then return end
        if player.Team == lobbyTeam then
            spectate.SpectateFrame.Visible = not spectate.SpectateFrame.Visible
        end
    end)

spectate.SpectateFrame.Back.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

        if current == 1 then
            current = #contestants
        else
            current -= 1
        end

    end)

spectate.SpectateFrame.Fwd.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

        if current == #contestants then
            current = 1
        else
            current += 1
        end

    end)

This is because you cannot access the ServerStorage on the client, you would need to move the spectate clone to somewhere that the client can access.

What service can I access in a local script?

#4

i would usually store them inside of ReplicatedStorage since both the server snd client can access it

i also do store my ui components inside of repstorage
