TextButton only working once, doesn't work after being clicked once?

Asked by

So, I'm making a spectate button, and I'm trying to make it so when you press the "exit" button, the spectate gui will close. However, this works, but only once for some reason. Help would be appreciated,

(These are both local scripts)

script 1 (inside the button that opens the gui)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local open = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if open == false then
        open = true
        local Spectating  = Instance.new("BoolValue")
        Spectating.Name = "Spectating"
        Spectating.Parent = player
        script.Parent.Parent.Background.Visible = true
        print("Visible")
        end
end)

script 2 (Inside the gui)

script.Parent.Exit.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if plr:FindFirstChild("Spectating") then
        plr.Spectating:Destroy()
        script.Parent.Visible = false
        print("NotVisible")
    end
end)

In script 1, "open" is never set back to false, therefore, the if statement on line 4 will only ever be true once.

Instead of using a variable (which will never get set back to false), check if the background frame is visible:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local backgroundFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Background
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if backgroundFrame.Visible == false then
        local Spectating  = Instance.new("BoolValue")
        Spectating.Name = "Spectating"
        Spectating.Parent = player
        backgroundFrame.Visible = true
        print("Visible")
        end
end)
