Screen GUI visibility toggle not functioning correctly?

Asked by

I am creating a system which displays your achievements in game with a scrolling frame. It works by simply clicking an imagebutton and it opening the gui. All is well and good, no errors however testing it isn't the greatest so far.

I noticed that when I click the imagebutton the gui does not open. I had a look at the frame for the gui and it told me it was visible in properties? I can't see anything! I can open it in studio using properties but not in game when I click the imagebutton.

Anyway, here is my script:

local gui = game.StarterGui.Achievements.ScrollingFrame

script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
    if gui.Visible == false then
        gui.Visible = true
    else
        gui.Visible = false
    end
end)

Are there any errors in the output? Also would recomend enabling/disabling the ScreenGui (Achievements) than hiding the ScrollingFrame WoTrox 345 — 3y

There are no errors. I will also have a look at enabling/disabling. Zertrezai 11 — 3y

Enabling/Disabling doesn't appear to change anything apart from what is expected the enable property. However still does not show the gui. Zertrezai 11 — 3y

And where is the script? Also, is it a local or a server script? WoTrox 345 — 3y

The script is a local script in the imagebutton which is in a menu gui. Zertrezai 11 — 3y

its beause you were trying to change the startergui itself. change the playergui instead, read @MarkedTomato's answer for more description JesseSong 3916 — 3y

All UI objects in StarterGui get replicated to the player gui located in the player object. (This applies to all services in the explorer that begin with 'Starter')

  1. Insert a LocalScript into StarterPlayerScripts located in StarterPlayer.

  2. write the following code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- getting the client
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") -- PlayerGui is located in every client's player object
local imageButton = playerGui.ScreenGui.ImageButton -- use playerGui then define the path to imageButton
local scrollFrame = playerGui.ScreenGui.ScrollingFrame -- use playerGui then define the path to scrollingFrame

imageButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() --  I go with mousebutton1click but you can do what you prefer
    if scrollFrame.Visible == false then -- checks whether it's false
        scrollFrame.Visible = true -- if true sets visible to true
    else -- if otherwise
        scrollFrame.Visible = false -- sets visible to false
    end
end)

If it doesn't work or shows an error just reply cause I haven't tested it.

After a little bit of configuration to the script I managed to get it to work. Thank you! Zertrezai 11 — 3y
