Gui only shows up once

[hollow forge]

local proximityPrompt = script.Parent

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
    local playerGui = player:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui")
    local shopGui = playerGui:FindFirstChild("ShopGui")
    shopGui.Enabled = true
    print(shopGui.Enabled)
end)

This only opens the gui once, when I close it and I use the prox prompt again it won't open

The print function tells me that shopGui.Enabled = true, but when I check in the players' gui it's not enabled and it doesn't show up

well if you close the gui in a local script then you cant enable it again in a server script

cus im pretty sure the local script has priority or something

[untold whale]

not quite, it's actually a desync. if you do .enabled=true on server then .enabled=false on the client, the next time you set .enabled=true to "re-open" it, the server thinks it still has .enabled=true so nothing happens.

[short thorn]

makes sense

[hollow forge]

oh ok

thanks

so should i enable it only on the server or on the client

do i need a remote event or something

[untold whale]

that's one way but imo you should do what you're doing now but instead of just doing .enabled=true you instead do .enabled=false task.wait() .enabled=true to force the client to update. it's extremely lazy but hey if it works it works

[hollow forge]

ill try it

** You are now Level 1! **

[untold whale]

i hope you don't actually do that...

[untold whale]

best practice do it on one side only

[hollow forge]

oh

so do i need a remote event

[untold whale]

yeah don't rely on people tell you what to do

[hollow forge]

...

uh ok

[untold whale]

remotes are one way yas

[hollow forge]

is there another way i could do it without remote events

[untold whale]

set up so you only need to do work on one side

or remotefunction

technically the input action system could do it too

[hollow forge]

wait does the script i wrote above enable it on the server or on the client

[untold whale]

idk, you wrote it..?

[hollow forge]

😭

[untold whale]

based on context, you're opening it on server and closing on client, just an educated guess

pretty safe bet, it's common beginner problem

[hollow forge]

ok so how do enable it only on the client instead

i thought that script did enable it on the client

[untold whale]

google it
