Why exactly are server scripts not working in GUIs?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I don’t really see why as it is a developer option to use them or not. It is harder to implement getting data from a DataStore than using a direct server script (example). Why aren’t they working?

#2

The GUI is replicated on the client and not the server. Server scripts can’t run on the client, therefore you cannot use server scripts in a GUI

#3

Technically they would work if StreamingEnabled is enabled, right?

#4

No, StreamingEnabled is something entirely different. StreamingEnabled is used to ‘stream’ parts in for players for where they are in the world.

#5

So only BaseParts? Not any other type of instance?

#6

I don’t know how this question is relevant for your topic, but if you wish to learn more about StreamingEnabled please go to: Content Streaming | Roblox Creator Documentation
