Long story short, I can't figure out how to get rid of the GUI when the typewriting is done being presented to the player.

My attempt to disable it is ,"local Parent.Enabled = false" but the . has the syntax error line under it.

01local TextLabel = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Main"):WaitForChild("Text")
02 
03wait(1)
04 
05local function typewrite(object,text,length)
06    for i = 1, #text, 1 do
07        object.Text = string.sub(text,1,i)
08        wait(0.02)
09    end
10end
11 
12typewrite(TextLabel,"Welcome to Car Factory Tycoon!",0.02)
13wait(2)
14typewrite(TextLabel,"Claim a Tycoon to begin!",0.05)
15wait(2)
16 
17local Parent.Enabled = false

This is because your attempt is using Parent.Enabled as a variable. When you put local Parent.Enabled, the code assumes you want to assign the Parent variable a value. To disable, you remove local. Just do

`1`	`Parent.Enabled` `=` `false`
