Why doesn't my Visible = true/false not work?? (open/close gui)

Asked by 7 years ago

I'm a beginner scripter, and I'm having some problems with just one very simple function.

Here is my script, and somehow every time I test it out and click the open button, my text label doesn't appear.

Button:

Text = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect (function()
    Text.Visible = not Text.Visible
end)

Please don't criticize the script i made above, because I just started scripting ;)

All answers are appreciated!

Thanks!

You wouldn't change what is on the StarterGui. Each player has their own gui called the "PlayerGui", and the game replicates what is on the startergui to the player's gui.

Put this in a LocalScript inside the TextLabel.

local Text = script.Parent
Text.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    Text.Visible = not Text.Visible
end)
