I'm guessing the problem is that the script is running before everything is loaded (you can check by looking at the developer console by pressing F9 in online mode: if you find an error that says something like "attempt to index [variable name here] (a nil value)" , that could be it) Try using "WaitForChild" commands instead of accessing children directly. ex:

local choose = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Choose")

If that's not the problem, having the error message from the developer console would help greatly.
