UNSOLVED: GuiPopup triggers server-side instead of local

[tribal geyser]

Hello, i have a system for when i enter a dedicated area, a notification pops up, now for some reason if one player enters the popup appears for everyone, i'll send the portion of my script that holds this function.

for i, v in workspace.AreaNotifiers:GetChildren() do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
if debounce then return end
debounce = true

        areaName.Position = UDim2.fromScale(.5, -.1)
        areaName.Text = v.Name
        areaName.Visible = true

        timeLabel.Text = getFormattedTime() -- Set the time text
        timeLabel.Visible = true

        -- Fade in time text and stroke
        timeLabel.TextTransparency = 1
        if timeStroke then timeStroke.Transparency = 1 end -- Ensure the stroke exists

        local fadeInTimeText = tweenService:Create(timeLabel, info, {TextTransparency = 0})
        local fadeInTimeStroke = timeStroke and tweenService:Create(timeStroke, info, {Transparency = 0})

        tweenService:Create(areaName, info, {Position = UDim2.fromScale(.5, .08)}):Play()
        task.wait(0.5)

        description.TextTransparency = 1
        description.UIStroke.Transparency = 1

        tweenService:Create(description, info, {TextTransparency = 0}):Play()
        tweenService:Create(description.UIStroke, info, {Transparency = 0}):Play()

-- Play fade-in effect for time label
fadeInTimeText:Play()
if fadeInTimeStroke then fadeInTimeStroke:Play() end

        typeWriterEffect(description, v.Description.Value, .03)

        task.wait(5)

        -- Fade out effect
        local fadeOutTimeText = tweenService:Create(timeLabel, info, {TextTransparency = 1})
        local fadeOutTimeStroke = timeStroke and tweenService:Create(timeStroke, info, {Transparency = 1})

        tweenService:Create(areaName, info, {Position = UDim2.fromScale(.5, -.1)}):Play()
        tweenService:Create(description, info, {TextTransparency = 1}):Play()
        tweenService:Create(description.UIStroke, info, {Transparency = 1}):Play()

        -- Play fade-out effect for time label
        fadeOutTimeText:Play()
        if fadeOutTimeStroke then fadeOutTimeStroke:Play() end

        task.wait(2)
        timeLabel.Visible = false -- Hide the time label
        timeLabel.TextTransparency = 0 -- Reset transparency for next time
        if timeStroke then timeStroke.Transparency = 0 end

        debounce = false
    end)
end

end

Help appreciated

U made me think that was in my script 😂

[indigo nymph]

is this server script or localscript?

[tribal geyser]

Localscript in startergui

[indigo nymph]

local function formatYourCode() return "this" end
print(formatYourCode())```

[indigo nymph]

why is it in startergui...

[tribal geyser]

Because its a ui trigger

[indigo nymph]

that's not-- nevermind. just add if hit.Parent==game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then return end at the top like the humanoid one

[tribal geyser]

Is there a better way to format it?

[indigo nymph]

oh its in a screen gui phew 😮‍💨

[tribal geyser]

Yes

[indigo nymph]

i've seen localscripts sitting in root folder

😨

[tribal geyser]

Lmaoo

[mint meteor]

just set all your localscripts as nilinstances

[indigo nymph]

format? no i meant when you paste code in discord use ```lua (newline)
code here```

[tribal geyser]

Ohh

[tribal geyser]

How would i do that

[mint meteor]

step 1, don't do that

[tribal geyser]

Thank god i'm not a scripter

So what do i do

[indigo nymph]

bruh

[harsh hatch]

** You are now Level 45! **

[tribal geyser]

How do i fix it?/

[indigo nymph]

just add if hit.Parent==game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then return end at the top like the humanoid one

[indigo nymph]

⬆️

[tribal geyser]

Wait so at what line

Ty btw

[indigo nymph]

wait that'll make it show for everyone except the local player, you want the opposite hit.Parent ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then return end

coz sometimes touch can trigger on one client for another player's character touching a part

depends a bit on the part you cut out

[tribal geyser]

for i, v in workspace.AreaNotifiers:GetChildren() do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
if debounce then return end
debounce = true

Is it in that space

[tribal geyser]

.

Where do i put that

[indigo nymph]

yea but whERe dO i PUt tHAt?

[indigo nymph]

yea the humanoid verify gate is in that space

humanoiud verify gate: if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end

[tribal geyser]

And replace that with your line

[indigo nymph]

i saying make another one that verify-gate's the localplayer's character

[indigo nymph]

well i mean you can replace if you really want to

[tribal geyser]

So should i just add your line after that

[indigo nymph]

i mean

if you wanted to hire somebody

then you should maybe offer fair pay

but if you didn't want to hire somebody

then maybe dont phrase every question as a "should i", because i might just answer yes to every single one just to mess with you

replace "i" with "any fair person reading this thread" and same same nothing change? 🤷

[tribal geyser]

Okay well i just came here to try and fix a bug, i'm no scripter

[indigo nymph]

don't ask 'should i...' questions, it makes me nervous

[tribal geyser]

Sure, were you reccomending me to put this line:
hit.Parent ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then return end
After this one?:
if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end

[indigo nymph]

was just an idea, idk if it works. have you tried if it works? on the subject of trying things if they works, maybe try add prints and make sure no errors in output window? bruh i can't hold your hand every step of the way 🙏

[tribal geyser]

It didn't work, all i want to change is it to trigger only for the local player who touched it, somewhere there is a problem of it triggering for everybody, that i have no clue how to fix

[indigo nymph]

and all i want is for someone to clean my toilet for free but somewhere between the work and paying them i have no clue how to fix either bruh, we are the same

[tribal geyser]

?

[indigo nymph]

we both have a job we want and need done but wont pay for it

[tribal geyser]

This isn't a hiring post, i'm simply asking for some scripting assistance by fixing a bug

[indigo nymph]

i decided to pay for it brb calling them now and simply sorting this out

[tribal geyser]

What are you talking about?

[indigo nymph]

i'm talking about how i paid for someone to clean my toilet and it's all sorted now, and you refuse to pay for someone to clean your local popup thing and it is not sorted yet now 🤷 idk if i'm talking bakkagammons but i have belief in you'll pull through and make a game out of yourself i belief in you!
