I've been working on th GUI for my game during the past few days and recently one of the buttons has stopped working (nothing happens when pressed). I would like to know what is wrong in the LocalScript and how I can fix it, or what else might be causing it.

I've done some testing using print() statements and the origin of the problem seems to be that the LocalScript is not detecting when the button is being clicked.

Here are all the parts fo the LocalScript that involve the button + what I used find the souce of the error.

local PlayTypeSelection = script.Parent.MainMenu
local FreeroamSelect = PlayTypeSelection.GamemodeSelect.FreeroamFrame.FreeroamSelect
local StageSelectionFrame = script.Parent.StageSelectScreen
local function ToggleMapSelect()
	
	if StageSelectionFrame.Visible == false then
		
		StageSelectionFrame.Visible = true
		PlayTypeSelection:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,0.5,0))
		StageSelectionFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.5,0))
		wait(0.9)
		PlayTypeSelection.Visible = false
	else
		
		PlayTypeSelection.Visible = true
		StageSelectionFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.5,0,0.5,0))
		PlayTypeSelection:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.5,0))
		wait(0.9)
		StageSelectionFrame.Visible = false
		
	end
end
FreeroamSelect.MouseButton1Click:Connect(ToggleMapSelect)
FreeroamSelect.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("this is not the source of the problem")
end)

the last bit of the script did't print anythhing

Additionally the LocalScript is inside a ScreenGUI and there is no error in the output

Well, the Gui's Parent should always be in PlayerGui. PlayerGui is inside of "game.Players.[PlayerName].PlayerGui". If the problem is not the parent problem then, I don't know... Hope this help thank you!

maybe have the script like local FreeroamSelect = PlayTypeSelection.GamemodeSelect.FreeroamFrame.FreeroamSelect instead of local FreeroamSelect =  next    line PlayTypeSelection.GamemodeSelect.FreeroamFrame.FreeroamSelect
