So I have a place with FE on, so serverscripts can't access the playergui. I used a remoteevent to change a part's transparency.

--In Serverscript
local event = game.Workspace.Event
event.OnServerEvent:connect(function()
game.Workspace.ColorPart.Transparency = 0.5
end)

But, I want something like this:

local event = game.Workspace.Event
event.OnServerEvent:connect(function()
local player = script.Parent.PlayerName.Value
game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.PlayerGui.PartName.Value).Transparency = 0.5
end)

It won't work since a serverscript can't access the client, is there any other way of doing this?

--ServerScript
local color = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Color")

color.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr,part,val)
workspace[part].Transparency = val
end)

--LocalScript
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local gui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
local part = gui.PartName
local color = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Color")

color:FireServer(part.Name, 0.5)

I tried it and it won't work. Is "color" supposed to be a remoteevent in ServerStorage? And isn't it supposed to be "local part = gui.PartName.Value"? The value would be the Part's Name.

--ServerScript

local ChangeTransparency = game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeTransparency

ChangeTransparency:FireAllClients(0.5)

--LocalScript

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ChangeTransparency = game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeTransparency
local GuiToChangeTransparency = Player.PlayerGui.GuiToChangeTransparency

ChangeTransparency.OnClientEvent:connect(function(Transparency)

GuiToChangeTransparency.Transparency = Transparency

end)

How about this, maybe you can improve on it?
In "player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.PartName" "PartName", is a ObjectValue if you wanted to know

--In localscript

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Move:connect(function()
local part = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.PartName
game.Workspace.TransparencyEvent:FireServer(part.Name, 0.5)
end)

--In serverscript
local event = game.Workspace.TransparencyEvent

event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr,part,val)
game.workspace[part].Transparency = val
end)

You're obviously not doing something right, what I did would've worked.

Ohh, well I'm pretty new to scripting, but I think I did it right, or you just didn't really understood what I wanted since I didn't explain well enough?

I know what you wanted but what I made was a simple remote event contact all the clients and anytime you wanted to change the transparency of that certain gui just replace X inside of ":FireAllClients(X)" with the transparency that you want, obviously you have to rename the variables and create a remote event.

Change the script, FireServer in the StarterGui to;



local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
local part = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.PartName.Value
game.Workspace.TransparencyEvent:FireServer(part.Name, 0.5)
end)

Then, change the TargetName script to;



local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.Idle:connect(function()
local target = mouse.Target
if target then
script.Parent.PartName.Value = target
else
print("No target")
end
end)
