Why does ROBLOX think that the title is not in PlayerGui when it clearly is?

Asked 236 views1 answers

This script is functional is studio but doesn't seem to work correctly in a server.

THIS SCRIPT IS IN A LOCALSCRIPT

Error Code Is: <"Title is not a valid member of Frame">

The structure of the GUI is:

Title -(ScreenGui)

Block -(Frame)

EerieMusic -(Sound)

Thump -(Sound)

MainFrame -(This is the LocalScript)

Title -(This is the troubled TextLabel thats giving me errors) 

local found = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui")
local gui = found:FindFirstChild("Title")

if found then
	if gui then
		gui.Block.EerieMusic:Play()
		for i=1,0,-.01 do
			gui.Block.BackgroundTransparency = i
			gui.Block.Title.TextTransparency = i
			wait()
		end
		gui.Block.EerieMusic:Stop()
		gui.Block.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
		gui.Block.Thump:Play()
	end
end

if gui.Block.Title ~= nil then
	print(gui.Block.Name .. " is failing")
end

Try :WaitForChild on lines 1&2

game.Players.LocalPlayer never works, always put this in the first line so it does work: repeat wait() until game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

What you did wrong was that you were trying to findfirstchild when the gui hasnt been loaded onto playergui. The below script should be ready to use:

Script

found = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
gui = found:WaitForChild("Title")

if found then
    if gui then
        gui.Block.EerieMusic:Play()
        for i=1,0,-.01 do
            gui.Block.BackgroundTransparency = i
            gui.Block.Title.TextTransparency = i
            wait()
        end
        gui.Block.EerieMusic:Stop()
        gui.Block.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
        gui.Block.Thump:Play()
    end
end

if gui.Block.Title ~= nil then
    print(gui.Block.Name .. " is failing")
end
