Toggle Visibility of a ScreenGui?
In my short puzzle game, I have created all the levels and am making a finished room. I've written a script that is supposed to make a ScreenGui (inside of the StarterGui thing) visible, but it doesn't work. I do not get any error messages, but the ScreenGui doesn't appear.
As always, here is the code:
finishBase.Touched:Connect(function(h)
local p = h.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if p then
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = true
end
end)
Thanks so much for the help!

If you mean you want the gui to be toggled, then use ScreenGui.Enabled = true zandefear4 90 — 4y

@zandefear4 I already tried to reference the ScreenGui and change the enabled to true, it shows that it's true in properties, but has no effect in the game, it still remains invisible. wolffdonnaven 12 — 4y

Make sure you use playergui as it replicates its self from startergui to playergui and Make sure it's in a local script due to FE
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
finishBase.Touched:Connect(function(h)
local p = h.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if p then
wait (1)
player.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = not player.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible
end
end)

thank you for the answer! why did you create a player variable if it isn't used, also what is fE? wolffdonnaven 12 — 4y

FE is Filtering Enabled. Means everything replicates from the server to the client, makes it a little more difficult for exploiters to cause trouble for anyone else playing the game. ToastyWarmBread 54 — 4y

The reason why I put a player variable is because the local player can access guis if you don t put a local player then it will error out. Due to filtering enabled you dont need a remote event if your not accessing anything froim the server. JesseSong 3916 — 4y

ScreenGui is not a valid member of Player" I'm not sure what that error means wolffdonnaven 12 — 4y

I edited, you need to use WaitForChild or wait because it waits for the child to be given. JesseSong 3916 — 4y

You can just change the alpha. I would show code, but it is pretty easy, you can probably find a youtube tutorial on how to make a shop, and they will cover it.
