My GUI mover script is acting weird...?
So, I am trying to make a script for a click button that, when clicked, moves a GUI from Lighting to StarterGui. When I test it, no errors pop up in the Console, and the GUI does move to StarterGui according to the Explorer, but it does not show up at all. When I check it in StarterGui, Visible is enabled and none of the transparencies are equal to 1, but it will not show up.
function onClicked()
if game.Lighting.TermCap.Parent ~= nil then
game.Lighting.TermCap.Parent = game.StarterGui
wait(.1)
game.StarterGui.TermCap.Frame.Visible = true
else end
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

The stuff in the StarterGui isn't visible to the player.
Every time a player spawns, everything in the StarterGui is copied to that player's personal PlayerGui.
You should move it there, instead:
function onClicked( playerWhoClicked )
game.Lighting.TermCap:Clone().Parent = playerWhoClicked.PlayerGui
end
You should be moving a copy (clone) instead of getting rid of it.
The check for game.Lighting.TermCap.Parent was pointless -- it will always be game.Lighting. If the object doesn't exist, you'll just get an error for asking for TermCap in the first place (before ever asking for .Parent)
You should keep things in ServerStorage or ReplicatedStorage. A GUI doesn't belong in the sky!
