Did Filtering Enable Break My Script?

So, I recently enabled filtering and I dont know if it is related to the problem I am having but it seems to be that this script only works in studio and not in-game. Why is that?

button = script.Parent
window = button.Parent

function onClicked(GUI)
    window:remove()
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked)

Is your game filtering enabled? Radstar1 270 — 7y

The reason it works in Studio, and not the testing client is because you recently made your game filtering enabled. So you would have to make a RemoteEvent in order to get it to fire correctly. Here's a tutorial on how to use them: <http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Remote_Events_and_Functions >

Also here's a quick breakdown of what filtering enabled does to your game: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=FilteringEnabled

Here's what I would do: 1.Change your regular script in your GUI into a local script. 2.Make a RemoteEvent and put it in ReplicatedStorage 3.When using RemoteEvents, one script fires the event (In this case your local script) while another script listens for that firing and then runs whatever needs to be done. (The second script)

Nooo not at all, RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions are a little difficult to grasp. Take it step by step. Understand why you need them when you turn on filtering enabled. Radstar1 270 — 7y

:remove() Is not an event, use :Destroy() I also have an easier way to call in the function, here is the script

button = script.Parent
window = button.Parent

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
window:Destroy()
end)

So that is alot shorter, enjoy!

It is a normal script. BunnyFilms1 297 — 7y

Normal scripts don't work in StarterGui for FilteringEnabled. If you have regular scripts, you'd need to convert them to local. @BunnyFilms1 Precisionly 103 — 7y

Just make the script a local script. Scripts don't work in PlayerGui.
