My code works in studio test but not in-game? F9 console is blank

edit: fixed read last comment

I've looked at other questions similar to mine asked on this site, in fact that's what brought me here to ask instead of the Robloxforum. The general fix to the issue of scripts/guis not working in-game when they appear to work in studio is to use the F9 console, or dev console in-game to try and figure out the bug.

In my case, I can't see anything on the console in-game, as if my code isn't being picked up at ALL when loaded into the Roblox game.

Here is my code, it's been put in a Local Script and a normal Script with no difference in-game. I know it's extremely ineffective coding, but Roblox seems to have deprecated most of the features I used before taking a break.

TL;DR, Title - f9 console doesn't show anything

print("test")
PID = script.Parent.PokemonID.Value

function unselect()
	local children = script.Parent:GetChildren()
	for i = 1,#children do
		if children[i].ClassName == "ImageButton" and children[i].Chosen.Value == true then
			print("Unselected " .. children[i].Name)
			children[i].Chosen.Value = false
			children[i].BorderSizePixel = 2
			children[i].BorderColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(35,35,35)
			children[i]:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 80, 0, 80), "In", "Quad", .2)
		end
	end
end

script.Parent.P1.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	clicked = script.Parent.P1
	PID = clicked.PokemonID.Value
	unselect()
	clicked.Chosen.Value = true
	clicked.BorderSizePixel = 3
	clicked.BorderColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(57,141,230)
	clicked:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 90, 0, 90), "Out", "Quad", .2)
	print(PID)
	print(clicked.NameLabel.Text)
end)

script.Parent.P4.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	clicked = script.Parent.P4
	PID = clicked.PokemonID.Value
	unselect()
	clicked.Chosen.Value = true
	clicked.BorderSizePixel = 3
	clicked.BorderColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(57,141,230)
	clicked:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 90, 0, 90), "Out", "Quad", .2)
	print(PID)
	print(clicked.NameLabel.Text)
end)

script.Parent.P7.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	clicked = script.Parent.P7
	PID = clicked.PokemonID.Value
	unselect()
	clicked.Chosen.Value = true
	clicked.BorderSizePixel = 3
	clicked.BorderColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(57,141,230)
	clicked:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 90, 0, 90), "Out", "Quad", .2)
	print(PID)
	print(clicked.NameLabel.Text)
end)

script.Parent.P25.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	clicked = script.Parent.P25
	PID = clicked.PokemonID.Value
	unselect()
	clicked.Chosen.Value = true
	clicked.BorderSizePixel = 3
	clicked.BorderColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(57,141,230)
	clicked:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 90, 0, 90), "Out", "Quad", .2)
	print(PID)
	print(clicked.NameLabel.Text)
end)

Thanks.

That looks impossible to read. How do I make it look like code?

Ah god. The problem was with my team-create stupidity. I have to close a script in order for it to update with the rest of the game. Sorry for your time, scripting helpers.

The studio test runs differently than actual servers! I've dealt with this problem multiple times, and you will need to run a server to see how the script actually works in game. Hopefully that helps you with your problem!

Add a wait(0.5) to the top of the script.

You are defining PokemonID way too earlier in the script

You have to remember that studio renders scripts faster compared to a server.
