How do I get this TextButton and ScreenGui script to work?
Code:
local playerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local Clicked = playerGui.OpenPurchasesGui:WaitForChild("TextButton")
local DB = false
local PurchasesGui = playerGui:WaitForChild("PurchasesGui")
local Visible = PurchasesGui.Enabled
warn(Visible)
Clicked.Activated:Connect(function()
warn("Clicked")
if not DB then
DB = true
if Visible == true then
Visible = false
warn(Visible)
else
Visible = true
warn(Visible)
end
wait(.5)
DB = false
end
end)
I don't understand this. In output it says clicked and then true when it's changed to true and false when it's changed to false. When I check in the PlayerGui and look at ScreenGui, nothing has changed no matter what. I seriously don't know what's going on.

From my experiences, you cannot set a property as a variable, so instead of using the variable "Visible" you'll just have to use .Enabled in your script over and over.
annoying? yes. avoidable? no.
local playerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local Clicked = playerGui.OpenPurchasesGui:WaitForChild("TextButton")
local DB = false
local PurchasesGui = playerGui:WaitForChild("PurchasesGui")
-- local Visible = PurchasesGui.Enabled
warn(PurchasesGui.Enabled)
Clicked.Activated:Connect(function()
warn("Clicked")
if not DB then
DB = true
if PurchasesGui.Enabled == true then
PurchasesGui.Enabled = false
warn(PurchasesGui.Enabled)
else
PurchasesGui.Enabled = true
warn(PurchasesGui.Enabled)
end
wait(.5)
DB = false
end
end)

You aren't able to change the properties of an object like that.
You are doing
local Visible = PurchasesGui.Enabled Visible = false
While it should be the following:
local Visible = PurchasesGui Visible.Enabled = false
