Why can't my LocalScript find a GUI?
Hi. I'm making a GUI, and inside the GUI, there's a LocalScript. The LocalScript has to be local because it deals with things like KeyDown, and uses the Mouse. Anyway, at the start of the script, there's a bunch of Variables.
01 | local Game = game -- Important Variable |
02 | local Players = Game:GetService("Players") |
03 | local Player = Players.LocalPlayer |
04 | local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() |
05 |
06 | --[[ DeletedComment ]]-- |
07 | local Chatting = false |
08 | local StartText = "Type '/' or Click here to Chat (Disabled for Guests)" |
09 |
10 |
11 | --[[ DeletedComment ]]-- |
12 | local GUI = script.Parent |
13 | local ChatBar = script.Parent.ChatBar |
14 | local Chats = 0 |
When I test it in Studios, it works fine, even if the Variables aren't Local. But when I go on the Game Online, not on studios, it says that ChatBar isn't there, when it is.
How do I get it to work? (I know the local Game = game variable is useless...)

I only see one problem with the script that could cause your issue...
In the section of code:
1 | local ChatBar = script.Parent.ChatBar |
you are trying to find a object named ChatBar that may not have loaded yet...
To fix this you should change it to:
1 | local ChatBar = script.Parent:WaitForChild('ChatBar') |
I hope this helped,
