#1

Hello there,
I am working on a horror game,
I have a meshpart called “Walkie Talkie” and I am trying to use a proximity prompt to make a an image frame visible the after five seconds, invisible.

local WalkieTalkie = script.Parent

local screenGuiPath = game.StarterGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
local imageLabel = screenGuiPath:WaitForChild("ImageLabel")

game.Workspace.WalkieTalkie.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(playerWhoTriggered)
	if playerWhoTriggered:IsA("Player") then
		imageLabel.Visible = true

		wait(5)

		imageLabel.Visible = false
	end
end)

If anyone could help me, I would extremely grateful.

Changing things on StarterGui will not be replicated to the client ingame

local WalkieTalkie = script.Parent


game.Workspace.WalkieTalkie.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	local screenGuiPath = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
	local imageLabel = screenGuiPath:WaitForChild("ImageLabel")
	imageLabel.Visible = true

	wait(5)

	imageLabel.Visible = false
end)

I would use this as a local script inside the gui itself as it is for the client.

local WalkieTalkie = workspace:WaitForChild("WalkieTalkie", 1)
local Prompt = WalkieTalkie:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt", 1)

local Gui = script.Parent
local ImageLabel = Gui:WaitForChild("ImageLabel", 1)

Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player: Player)
    if player ~= game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer then return end

   ImageLabel.Visible = true

    task.wait(5)

    ImageLabel.Visible = false
end)

Is this so that only the player who triggered the prompt will see the gui?
Anyway, let me test it.

It’s a server script not a local script (and maybe who knows if the op wants it to be server sided?)

I’m saying as it is easier and better practice to do all UI related stuff on the client

I tried putting Sinsbygod’s script in the serverscript service, it still does not work.

You would put it in the ScreenGui that has the imagelabel and it’d be a LocalScript.

I have tried that, but I will do it again, I might have done it wrong.
