Why would this fail?
Please make your question title relevant to your question content. It should be a one-sentence summary in question form.
--Closes Gui
function onChatted(message, player)
if message == "/Close" then
game.StarterGui.StatusGui.Status.Visible = false
else
game.StarterGui.StatusGui.Status.Visible = true
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:connect(function(message) onChatted(message, player) end)
end)
I might have made an error somewhere but cant seem to find it. I used a similar script to kill the character but this one seems to not work. Is it not possible to use this method to close a Gui? What other options could be used?

You're using StarterGui
And so did everyone else, once upon a time
When you're changing something in StarterGui, the Player won't notice until they respawn. What you need to do instead is change it in the Player.PlayerGui
function onChatted(message, player)
if message == "/Close" then
player.PlayerGui.StatusGui.Status.Visible = false
else
player.PlayerGui.StatusGui.Status.Visible = true
end
end
As a side note, your else block probably won't work how you want it to, because that will make it reappear if the Player says anything else.

You're changing the Gui of a Player, not the StarterGui because that would show up for everyone(it would not work anyway).
PlayerGui instead of StarterGui
