Why won't my GUI destroy upon button activation?

Asked by

I'm making a game that has a start menu in it. I want that GUI to disappear upon the player clicking the "Start Game" button, but it currently doesn't do anything when you click the button.

Here's my code:

local button = script.Parent
local toggled = false
local guiObj = ScreenGui 

local function onButtonActivated()
    if toggled == false then
        guiObj:Destroy()
    else
        button.Text = "Start Game"
        toggled = false
    end
end

button.Activated:Connect(onButtonActivated)

Any tips would be appreciated, thanks! :)

Use .MouseButton1Click instead of Activated YTRaulByte 389 — 4y

So would it be button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onButtonActivated) instead? Because I tried that and it didn't work. stealthmode642 -2 — 4y

You set guiObj equal to ScreenGui when ScreenGui is not declared. oftenz 367 — 4y

The original code said "guiObj = nill" but they told me I should make a reference to the ScreenGui because that's where the button is declared. stealthmode642 -2 — 4y

local button = script.Parent
local guiObj = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui

button.MouseButton1Click(
    function()
        guiObj:Destroy()
        button.Text = "Start Game"
    end
)
