GUI script can't find children to tell them to become Visible?

A continuation of my problem from here.

I need my MakeVisible script from before (see link above) to make my GUI visible. It does make its parent GUI Visible, however, the Children of the GUI I also need to be visible aren't becoming so.

Here are the Children I need to make Visible (Close, Next, Previous, and Cover): https://i.imgur.com/ksLXqZh.png

Below is my MakeVisible script that should be making these Visible. This is being triggered via a RemoteEvent. If you want to see those scripts, see the link to my other problem above.

01local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02 
03local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DinosaurBook")
04 
05local GUI = script.Parent
06 
07local cover = GUI.Cover
08 
09local closebutton = GUI.Close
10 
11local nextbutton = GUI.Next
12 
13local previousbutton = GUI.Previous
14 
15local function onNotifyPlayer()
16    GUI.Visible == true
17    cover.Visible == true
18    closebutton.Visible == true
19    nextbutton.Visible == true
20    previousbutton.Visible == true
21end)
22 
23remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(onNotifyPlayer)

I also tried a WaitForChild, however this didn't work.

Note that my PlayerGui is Enabled: https://i.imgur.com/Uimz9vV.png

And the Frame is Visible after the ClickDetector registers the click: https://i.imgur.com/dfa3xJ4.png

But the Close button (for example- Next, Previous, and Cover also do not become Visible) is not Visible: https://i.imgur.com/YzVDzWE.png

I imagine there's something wrong in my script that it can't find the GUI's Children, but it can find the GUI itself?

Don't know if I'm correct or not, is it because you have == not =? == is used for something like this "if gui.visible == true then gui.visible = false" ashstitchedmyface 7 — 3y

You're not, I've tried this before when a friend brought up the same concern. The amount of = don't appear to make any difference. ControlCoreAngel 37 — 3y

Unfortunately, you were wrong, he was right. You would get an error because you have "GUI.Visible == true" and so on, == should be used when checking stuff in a way. Use 1 '=' for each 16-20. Since you forcibly want the gui visible, you would use =, you aren't checking stuff. greatneil80 2647 — 3y

Hi, like I said before, I tried this before and it changes nothing! This is not my problem. ControlCoreAngel 37 — 3y
