How does this function not activate when it should?

Asked 181 views1 answers
local nextbutton = script.Parent
local prevbutton = script.Parent.Parent.Backward
local view = 0

if view == 0 then
	nextbutton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
		view = 1
		print(view)
		print("page 2")
		script.Parent.Parent.BasicInfo.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Face.Visible = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Backward.Visible = true
	end)
	if view == 1 then
		script.Parent.Parent.Backward.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
			view = 0
			print(view)
			print("page 1")
			script.Parent.Parent.BasicInfo.Visible = true
			script.Parent.Parent.Face.Visible = false
			script.Parent.Parent.Backward.Visible = false
		end)
	end
end

This script only functions properly when the second if statement is <= 1, but I need it to only equal 1. I checked the output to make sure that this variable is one upon pressing it, but it doesn't do anything.

Your script isn't working, because it checks what 'view' equals at the start of the script. It's not inside either function, so it won't update if you update the view variable.

This is easy to fix, however.

local nextbutton = script.Parent
local backbutton = script.Parent.Parent.Backward
local info = script.Parent.Parent.BasicInfo
local face = script.Parent.Parent.Face
local view = 0

nextbutton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	if view == 0 then
        	view = 1
        	print(view)
        	print("page 2")
		info.Visible = false
        	face.Visible = true
        	backbutton.Visible = true
    	end
end)

backbutton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	if view == 1 then
        	view = 0
        	print(view)
        	print("page 1")
 		info.Visible = true
        	face.Visible = false
        	backbutton.Visible = false
   	end
end)

As you can see, each time you click the button, it will check what view equals. That should be all you need to know.
