Touching part doesn't turn off the core GUI

I’m trying to turn off the main core GUI by touching a part.
I have a part inside the workspace with the local script inside.

It doesn’t turn off the core gui.

I’ve looked through a few dev forum posts and couldn’t find a solution.

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local part = script.Parent

local function onPartTouch(part)
	local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
	if player then
		onPartTouch:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, false)
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouch)

I’d bet it’s because you had tried to set the core gui from a function name instead of StarterGui

StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, false)

What? Remove onPartTouch
try this

game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, false)

Localscripts don’t work in Workspace. You would need to perform a serverside firing to the client using Event:FireClient() or running the script in another local module such as StarterCharacter/PlayerScripts.

Also make it StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled, not onPartTouch

Going with what MasterTiitus has said, you could change the script inside the part to a script, and add a local script to the player. (I would put inside StarterGui)

Part Script

local function getPlayerFromCharacter(character)
	for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
		if player.Character == character then
			return player
		end
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = getPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then
		player.PlayerGui["Your localscript name"].RemoteEvent:FireClient(player)
	end
end)

Local Script

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

script.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, false)
end)

Just a rough script and easily changeable

No, run remotes in ReplicatedStorage not StarterGui. Basic script in StarterPlayer. What even is your GetPlayerFromCharacter, just use robloxs own.

Also it won’t work as you returned a character instead of the actual Player:FindFirstChild.

True let me edit my comment real quick

Create a remotevent called CoreEvent in ReplicatedStorage.
– ServerScript inside Part

local db = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(hit.Parent)
	if db == true then return end
	if player then
		game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").CoreEvent:FireClient(player)
        db = true
        task.wait(3)
        db = false
	end
end)

– LocalScript inside StarterPlayerScripts

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").CoreEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    if player then
	   StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, false)
    end
end)

Whu not just use game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter()?

You can use that, I really don’t know why I used a local function.
