How do I make GUIs located in the torsos turn off after turning on?
Hey all, I'm trying to make a script that turns on and off a GUI that is located in the Torso of a player's character. This is what I have so far.
Local Script:
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local rEvent = RS:FindFirstChild('metaOnEvent')
local rEventOff = RS:FindFirstChild('metaOffEvent')
local meta = false
local debounce = false
local reset_Secs = 2
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if not meta then
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
--rEvent:FireServer()
--[[Start of newly implemented]]--
local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
for _,v in pairs(Players) do
v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.metaGUI.Enabled = true
end
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.metaGUI.Enabled = false
--[[End of newly implemented]]--
wait(reset_Secs)
debounce = false
else
meta = false
--rEventOff:FireServer()
--[[Start of newly implemeted]]--
local plrs= game.Players:GetPlayers()
for _,v in pairs(plrs) do
v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.metaGUI.Enabled = false
end
--[[End of newly implemented]]--
end
end)
But, after a player turns them on, they cannot be turn off again! Are there any solutions you guys can think up?

You aren't setting meta variable to true when player enables the GUI.
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local rEvent = RS:FindFirstChild('metaOnEvent')
local rEventOff = RS:FindFirstChild('metaOffEvent')
local meta = false
local debounce = false
local reset_Secs = 2
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if not meta then
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
--rEvent:FireServer()
--[[Start of newly implemented]]--
local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
for _,v in ipairs(Players) do
v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.metaGUI.Enabled = true
end
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.metaGUI.Enabled = false
meta = true -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< new line here
--[[End of newly implemented]]--
-- forget about "wait()", start using "task.wait()" it's a newer version
-- that does not have many changes but it has better performance
task.wait(reset_Secs)
debounce = false
else
meta = false
--rEventOff:FireServer()
--[[Start of newly implemeted]]--
local plrs= game.Players:GetPlayers()
for _,v in ipairs(plrs) do
v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.metaGUI.Enabled = false
end
--[[End of newly implemented]]--
end
end)
Read about ipairs here. In this case it fits the most so I used it, since :GetPlayers returns an array, it improves performance
