How come when I press z this function will not delete a gui?

Asked 291 views1 answers

I have received help earlier but I'm not on with coding.. I'm basically making it If I press Z it'll delete a Gui I make appear in a different script. When I press Z in game nothing happens? Much appreciated if helped

pcall(game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
	print 'the key Z has been pressed'
	local Gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild(One)
	if Gui then Gui:Destroy() end
else
	print 'Y u no press Z?'
end
end))

Remove the pcall. Is this a Server Script, if so it will not take UserInput.

The problem is that in this:

local Gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild(One)

One refers to the variable named One, whereas in this:

local Gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("One")

"One" is a string literal. To fix this, replace One in that line with "One" (I probably should have mentioned this earlier)

Additionally, you do not need to (and should not) use pcall in this code.

Yes someone told me not use pcall.. Its saying it has a issue with the " end)) "?

The pcall would cause the script to not work. Just remove the 'pcall(' at the start and then the ')' at the end.

I guess its not recognizing Im pressing Z? The local script is located in a spawnlocation if that could be a issue?
