GUI Works in Studio, Fails in Online?

Asked 212 views1 answers

I've been building a GUI for a good number of hours now, which has several buttons to open up different menus to allow for movement among the GUI. It works well and dandy, except for one issue: the first button in the GUI doesn't work in online servers, despite working in Studio. The entirety of the local script is below.

-- Definitions.
Closed=true
local gui = script.Parent:WaitForChild("SpecificFrame")
GUI=script.Parent.Parent.SpecificFrame

-- Text button function.
function onClicked()
	if Closed then
		GUI:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, 110, 0, 3), "Out", "Quint", 1.5)
		Closed=false
	else
		GUI:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, -1000, 0, 3), "In", "Back", 1.5)
		Closed=true
	end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(onClicked)

As I've stated before, the GUI works perfectly in the Studio client, and before adding in line 3, the error message "SpecificFrame is not a valid member of Frame" would appear exclusively in an online server; however, upon entering an online server, despite no error message occurring, the frame refuses to come into view. Any ideas as to what's going on?

-- UPDATE: Turns out it fails to open in test servers on Studio as well.

What type of script are you calling this from and where is it located?

Well, you'd wanna to do the same as what you did on line 03, import a :WaitForChild() method on line 04.

The reason this occurs is because, sometimes a element will not officially load, thus causing the code syntax to cast an error. This normally occurs to FE code.

Closed = true

local gui = script.Parent:WaitForChild("SpecificFrame")

local gui2 =script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("SpecificFrame")

function onClicked()
    if Closed then
        gui2:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, 110, 0, 3), "Out", "Quint", 1.5)
        Closed = false
    else
        gui2:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, -1000, 0, 3), "In", "Back", 1.5)
        Closed = true
    end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(onClicked)
