GUI not visible even when Visible is true? [closed]
I’m making a shop button that: If the shop is open, it closes the shop when you click it, and vice versa. But the issue is when I click it the Visible property gets checked but the GUI doesn’t show.

If you happen to be changing the visibility property through StarterGui, then it is a pretty common mistake. Whenever you run your game, all the content in StarterGui gets replicated and put into the player's PlayerGui. So for instance if you wanted to change a certain property of a GUI while the game is still running, you would have to change it via PlayerGui, but this is just the case if you do not put your local scripts inside the certain GUI's.
EXAMPLE:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local myButton = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton
myButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
--Something happens when clicked--
end)

Here is an example of what you could do using a local script in StarterGui
--Open script This will of course need the UI under properties Visible to false
local myButton = script.Parent.TextButton
local Frame = script.Parent.Parent.Frame
myButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
Frame.Visible = true
end)
--Close Script This will of course need the UI under properties Visible to true
local myButton = script.Parent.TextButton
local Frame = script.Parent.Parent.Frame
myButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
Frame.Visible = false
end)
