This open/Close GUI won't Open Or close?

Asked 202 views1 answers

Recently, I was making an open/close GUI For some reason, it won't work, since the GUI won't close when I click on a TextButton that should close it. I have checked and rechecked it, any help?

Script:

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
StarterGui = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("StarterGui")
ScreenGui = StarterGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
Button = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("OpenClose")
ButtonBacking = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("ButtonBacking")
Open = true

Button.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(open)
	if Open == true then
		Button.Text = "Close Teleports"
		ButtonBacking.Visible = false
		 Open = false
	elseif Open == false then
		Button.Text = "Open Teleports"
		ButtonBacking.Visible = true
		Open = true
	end
end)

Thanks!

There is a simple issue with this. You use WaitForChild() to find "StarterGui" in workspace. This will yield the script until it finds startgui in workspace. Also, you can not see a script from startergui, It has to be from playergui. Try this:

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
PlayerGui= Player.PlayerGui
ScreenGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
Button = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("OpenClose")
ButtonBacking = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("ButtonBacking")
Open = true

Button.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    if Open == true then
        Button.Text = "Close Teleports"
        ButtonBacking.Visible = false
         Open = false
    elseif Open == false then
        Button.Text = "Open Teleports"
        ButtonBacking.Visible = true
        Open = true
    end
end)

Basically a problem with your variables Also on line 8, you should have open as an argument. MouseButton1Down takes no arguments or parameters ~~Hope i helped
