Attempt to index local 'gui' (a nil value?)
Please help, I'm trying to get a GUI to open when a tool is selected but it isn't opening at all. :-(
I get this error when I open the tool: OpenGUI:7: Attempt to index local 'gui' (a nil value), global LoadGui OpenGUI: Line 21
And this error when I close the tool: OpenGUI:16: Attempt to index local 'gui' (a nil value), global UnloadGui: Line 25
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
function LoadGui()
repeat wait() until player.Character
if not player.PlayerGui:findFirstChild("BenOVGUI") then
gui = game.ReplicatedStorage.BenOVGUI:Clone()
gui.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
print("Gui placed in ".. player.Name)
else
gui.Enabled = true
print("Gui Enabled.")
end
end
function UnloadGui()
gui.Enabled = false
print("Gui Disabled.")
end
script.Parent.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
LoadGui() <--?
end)
script.Parent.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()
UnloadGui() <--?
end)

The clone might be incorrect. Kulh 125 — 6y

Make sure BenOVGUI exists in ReplicatedStorage (Case sensitive). Also, use game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") instead of game.ReplicatedStorage. shayner32 478 — 6y

Try this code instead, make sure you have the GUI in ReplicatedStorage.
(uhh I used tabs because it looks prettier)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
function LoadGui()
repeat wait() until player.Character
if not player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("BenOVGUI") then
local cgui = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("BenOVGUI")
gui = cgui:Clone()
gui.Parent = playerGui
print("Gui placed in ".. player.Name)
else
player.PlayerGui.BenOVGUI.Enabled = true
print("Gui Enabled.")
end
end
function UnloadGui()
playerGui.BenOVGUI.Enabled = false
print("Gui Disabled.")
end
script.Parent.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
LoadGui() <--?
end)
script.Parent.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()
UnloadGui() <--?
end)
Let me know if you have problems, I'll try to help gladly.

Got rid of those errors, but now there is this one: "Equipped is not a valid member of Backpack, Line 22" LuckyAura -1 — 6y

If this script is a child of a tool, try doing script.Parent.Equipped and script.Parent.Unequipped in lines 22 and 26, respectively. Sur4y 40 — 6y

It is, forgot to do that. Now there are these errors: "OpenGUI:9: attempt to index global 'gui' (a nil value), Line 9 - global UnloadGui, Line 23 ---- BenOVGui is not a valid member of PlayerGui, Line 18 - global UnloadGui, Line 18, Line 27 LuckyAura -1 — 6y
