Hello fellow coders! I've had a run in with ROBLOX's system. For some reason, when I use local scripts within filtering-enabled, it cannot find certain instances, that for one, are obviously there! I've tried to find the instance via LocalPlayer.PlayerGui blah blah and also doing script.Parent, etc. What have I done wrong?

(as you can see, the instance MF is clearly in there, but for some reason, the script can't access it!)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local nameColor = BrickColor.new(colors[math.random(1, #colors)]).Color
local messageColor = BrickColor.new('Institutional white').Color
local mf = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("mf")
local messageBox = mf:WaitForChild('InputFrame'):FindFirstChild('MessageBox')
local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local event = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('Chatted')

Try a :WaitForChild. GuiObjects are one of those objects that don’t instantly load when the game starts.
