Why won't this GUI turn invisible when there's a tool in the starterpack?
The purpose of this script is to make the GUI (script.parent) invisible when the player has a tool in their starterpack. Can someone show me where I went wrong?
Thanks a million, Marcus
man = game.Players.LocalPlayer
c = man.Backpack:GetChildren()
function characterAdded ()
if 1==1 then
for i = 1,#c do
if c[i].className == "Tool" or c[i].className == "HopperBin" then
local gog = game.StarterPack:findFirstChild(c[i].Name)
if gog == nil then
script.parent.Visible = false
end
end
end
end
man.PlayerAdded:connect (characteradded)

I edited your question. Please add a codeblock yourself in the future: https://forum.scriptinghelpers.org/topic/82/how-to-format-questions-answers-on-the-main-site OldPalHappy 1477 — 7y

You'll have to repeat c = man.Backpack:GetChildren() every time you want the children, or else you always use the same table. You also might have to wait for the backpack to load. Here is your code with a few other other revisions.
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --better name
bp = player:WaitForChild('Backpack')
c = bp:GetChildren()
function characterAdded()
--why check 1=1 ?
c = bp:GetChildren()
for _,v in pairs(c) do --using pairs may be better here
if v:IsA("Tool") or v:IsA("HopperBin") then --:IsA is useful!
local gog = game.StarterPack:FindFirstChild(v.Name)
if not gog then
script.parent.Visible = false
end
end
end
end
player.CharacterAdded:connect(characterAdded) --the correct event

That's a strange grievance. cabbler 1942 — 7y
