Why won't the ScreenGui be destroyed?

Asked by

Edited 5 years ago

I have a button in my ScreenGui that when pressed is supposed to destroy the ScreenGui it is apart of. When I test this in a local server on Studio, when the button is pressed, the ScreenGui itself disappears, but the actual item in the PlayerGui is still there.

Why won't the ScreenGui be destroyed?

Here's the code:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() --script.Parent is the TextButton
    script.Parent.Parent:Destroy() --script.Parent.Parent is the Gui
end)

try making the gui a variable, so local gui = script.Parent.Parent (make sure you check your output) then do gui:Destroy() LukeGabrieI 73 — 5y

Server scripts can't make changes to the clients gui, only local scripts can hellmatic 1523 — 5y

This is due to the ResetOnSpawn property of the ScreenGui. Set it to false and it should destroy when you ask it to.

Try this, this just gets it out of the localplayers GUI.

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() --script.Parent is the TextButton
   local gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.GUINAME -- Change the name to your GUI's Name
local dgui = gui:Destroy()

end)

Completely unnecessary code. local dgui wouldnt work since the gui is destroyed it should be game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.GUINAME:Destroy() Sergiomontani10 236 — 5y
