Gui only working in studio? [CLOSED]
So I made a script for a gui so when MouseButton1Down:connect the GUI would open. It opens and closes in studio but when I go to the game, the GUI does not open or close. Did I do something wrong?
01 | Frame = script.Parent.Frame |
02 | Button = script.Parent.TextButton |
03 | Open = false |
04 |
05 | Button.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(open) |
06 | if Open == false then |
07 | Frame.Visible = true |
08 | Open = true |
09 | elseif Open == true then |
10 | Frame.Visible = false |
11 | Open = false |
12 | end |
13 | end) |

Is the game FilteringEnabled, and if so is this a LocalScript? M39a9am3R 3210 — 8y

The reason this won't work is because the script runs before the gui is fully loaded. Change the locals to script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame") TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 8y

So would I say local = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame")? BunnyFilms1 297 — 8y

This is most likely the fact that the script is running before the character loads, therefore the script cannot find the object it's referring to. A simple solution is adding some WaitForChild's to the beginning of the script.
01 | -- Checking for all the loaded elements. |
02 | script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame") |
03 | script.Parent:WaitForChild("TextButton") |
04 | -- Check Complete. |
05 | Frame = script.Parent.Frame |
06 | Button = script.Parent.TextButton |
07 | Open = false |
08 |
09 | Button.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(open) |
10 | if Open == false then |
11 | Frame.Visible = true |
12 | Open = true |
13 | elseif Open == true then |
14 | Frame.Visible = false |
15 | Open = false |
16 | end |
17 | end) |
Tell me if this doesn't work.
