This is for general GUIs. My example is showing a teleport GUI to a place in my server. I only want it shown for certain people and it can be activated by those certain people, obviously onClicked. So I need help on how to make the script able to identify that players name and allow ONLY them to see and activate the GUI and for ordinary players, they won't see that certain GUI.

Here is the script I randomly made.

torso = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character.Torso --Defining the torso.

function onClicked(GUI) --What happens when you click the button
torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(2645, 575.6, 724)) --Teleports the player to the specified coordinates.
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked) --Activated when a player clicks on the GUI.

there would be a way hmm

maybe instead of the line with the best friend thing on, replace it with this

if p.Name == "thesomektime" or p.Name == "guy" or p.Name = "whatever" then

One more thing, where would that script go? I would add GUI in Lighting with all the scripts inside of that?

You forgot one "=". I added another one but I dont think thats why it doesnt work. I think it might be the placement. I added a "ScreenGUI" into Lighting. I called it what I wanted and then replaced the YOURGUINAME to what I named it. I inserted your script into Workspace. Now with the screenGUI which is in the Lighting. I inserted a text button into the ScreenGUI then put my teleport script inside that text button. So I only inserted things into Lighting and Workspace. Did you spot anything wrong?

No, there is no output for anything saying that there is an error. Shall I print the screen and upload it so you can see a few?

Moving the torso would kill them try :MoveTo(Vector3.new(1,1,1))

Yeah so to check you would.

allow = {"Bob","Bobby","BobbyBobbo"} --Insert Names

function Click_Check_Tele()
local Body = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character --[[How many parents is ther befor you reach player?]]
local Name = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name --[[How many agian?]]
for _, user in pairs(allow) do
if Name:lower() == allow:lower() then --Wow that's the first time I did that.
Body:MoveTo(CFrame.new(X,Y,Z)) --Insert position
end
end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(Click_Check_Tele)
--I dunno if this will work, first times I'm doing tables and _, stuff.

Alright, first put a script in workspace. Its source should be:

allowed = {["thesomektime"] = true, ["ElectricBlaze"] = true}
guiname = "ScreenGui" --CHANGE TO THE GUI'S NAME
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
if allowed[player.Name] then
script[guiname]:clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui
end
end)
end)

Then place the GUI in that script. Not StarterGui, the script. Place a LocalScript in the TextButton in the GUI. The LocalScript's source should be:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:conenct(function()
player.Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(2645, 575.6, 724))
end)

When you told me to place the GUI in the script, does that mean I don't touch Lighting? Everything should be added in Workspace? Would it look something like this?

Workspace>FirstScript>ScreenGUI>LocalScript.

Shouldn't you have a TextButton in the ScreenGui? That's the only what you could click it. It should be:

Workspace -> Script -> ScreenGui -> TextButton -> LocalScript

Also, in the first script remember to change the `guiname` variable to the name of the ScreenGui.

Oh, also, I noticed a typo I made in the LocalScript. Change it to:

    local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
        player.Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(2645, 575.6, 724))
    end)

Btw, if I were to make more of these but with different positions of course. Would it break the scripts if I modeled them together? Btw it worked, you won the post.

No, the position doesn't matter, as long as you put it in as a Vector3 value. The MoveTo method can't use CFrames. :P

No problem, by the way.

Or actually I dont like having a lot of models too. Would it work if on the first script, I just add another line saying, "guiname = "ScreenGUI" "

Would that work, and then I repeat the steps but just add the new screenGUIs name onto the first script? Does that make sense?

Wait, what are you asking? For the script to move multiple GUIs?
