How do I make a script where a GUI will show up when a tool is equipped?
Hi! I've made a script where a GUI will be enabled when a tool is equipped. The LocalScript is inserted in a tool, as the GUI is in StartGui LocalScript:
local GUI = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui
if script.Parent.Equipped == true then
GUI.Enabled = true
end
if script.Parent.Unequipped == false then
GUI.Enabled = false
end

This is a Common Mistake
You actually want the PlayerGui, not the StarterGui service.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local screenGui = plrGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
if script.Parent.Equipped == true then
screenGui.Enabled = true
end
if script.Parent.Unequipped == false then
screenGui.Enabled = false
end
Next, this isn't connected to any event, so it'll only fire once, and never update. To fix this, lets use some events.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrGui = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local screenGui = plrGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Equipped:Connect(function() -- when tool is equipped
screenGui.Enabled = true
tool.Unequipped:Wait() -- wait for tool to be uneqipped
screenGui.Enabled = false
end)
