Close/Open GUI script doesn't work?
I have made a script where when you click a button, it toggles the shop GUI on or off, here is the script:
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
shop = player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild('ShopGUI').MainFrame
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
shop.Visible = not shop.Visible
end)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks! There is also an error when I load up the game on roblox studio, it says: 22:18:54.626 - Players.Player.PlayerGui.Buttons.Frame.TextButton.LocalScript:2: attempt to index a nil value

The script is a localscript, correct? shayner32 478 — 9y

Yeah, can you put it all into one script? awfulszn 394 — 9y

Two errors:
1: You need to wait for the gui to be out into the player. So:
shop = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild('ShopGUI').MainFrame -- waits for gui to exist
2. not is an if statement term, it basically means nil.
Fixed:
shop.Visible = false -- sets the visible property to false

Actually, you can use not to negate a bool property value when setting another property. To explain, the Asker is right. You can use obj.Bool = not obj.Bool in order to set the new bool value to the opposite of what it currently is. M39a9am3R 3210 — 9y

The only way it'd error that, while your hierarchy is correct, is if the game is FilteringEnabled. If it is FilteringEnabled, you'll have to access the frame through script.Parent's. Example:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
script.Parent.Parent.Frame.Visible = true
end)
