Button not activating the script, what do I do?
local Menu = game.StarterGui.Buttons.Frame
local CloseButton = game.StarterGui.Buttons.CloseButton
function leftClick()
Menu.BackgroundTransparency = 0.9
wait(0.4)
Menu.Visible = false
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(leftClick)
This is my script. What I'm trying to do is make the GUI become slightly more transparent than it already was (which was at 0.8), before becoming invisible. When I test it in-game it doesn't do anything. What can I do to fix this?

You are trying to set transparency IN starterGui NOT playerGui
See https://scriptinghelpers.org/blog/common-mistakes#PlayerGui for more relating to common mistakes made by a beginner. This link will direct you to "StarterGui and PlayerGui; Not the Same" Section
If you want code that is fixed then you can copy this code anyway
== Fixed Code ==
local Menu = script.Parent.Parent
local CloseButton = script.Parent.Parent.CloseButton
function leftClick()
Menu.BackgroundTransparency = 0.9
wait(0.4)
Menu.Visible = false
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(leftClick)
NOTE: THIS IS ASSUMING THE HIERARCHY FOLLOWING DOWN BELOW
-- ScreenGui <-- ??? (Possibly: ScreenGui) (Unknown name, so I used un-renamed name)
---- Button <-- Frame
------ CloseButton <-- ??? (Possibly: TextButton)
------ TextButton <-- TextButton (Unknown name, so I used un-renamed name)
-------- LocalScript <-- Here
local Frame = -- Add the frame directory here local Button = -- Add the button directory here Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- Insert code here
try this, it always worked for me
