Why is my team checker script that shows specific Gui's not working?

Asked 196 views1 answers

I have a local script in StarterGui that checks what teams someone is on and makes a specific Gui frame visible to them. The Gui's are enabled and everything else looked fine to me but it doesn't work.

player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
red = game.Teams:FindFirstChild('Red Team')
green = game.Teams:FindFirstChild('Green Team')
redGUI = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('RedAirfieldMap')
greenGUI = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('GreenAirfieldMap')

if player.TeamColor == red.TeamColor then
	redGUI.Frame.Visible = true
end

if player.TeamColor == green.TeamColor then
	greenGUI.Frame.Visible = true
end

player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
red = game.Teams:FindFirstChild('Red Team')
green = game.Teams:FindFirstChild('Green Team')
redGUI = script.Parent:WaitForChild('RedAirfieldMap')
greenGUI = script.Parent:WaitForChild('GreenAirfieldMap')

if player.TeamColor == red.TeamColor then
    redGUI.Frame.Visible = true
end

if player.TeamColor == green.TeamColor then
    greenGUI.Frame.Visible = true
end

i take it you dont Have Output open when scripting

21:34:51.283 - Players.Player1.PlayerGui.LocalScript:12: attempt to index global 'greenGUI' (a nil value)

it means that when the script ran, The Gui did not exist yet. changing FindFirstChild to WaitForChild fixes this problem
