Why isn't my screengui showing up onscreen?

I have tried to change the gui's parent to the playergui, but to no avail. I don't know what's going wrong here.

-- Local script

local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local gui = tool:WaitForChild("GunGUI")
local frame = gui:WaitForChild("Frame")
local ammoLabel = frame:WaitForChild("Ammo")

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    gui.Parent = playerGui
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    gui.Parent = script
end)

If the properties could be messing it up here's those:

Why not gui.Enabled = false and gui.Enabled = true LetterSlayer 42 — 5y

But if I do that parenting to the playergui still isn't working SpookyBo1 -1 — 5y

What is 'tool' referencing to? Are you getting an error? LetterSlayer 42 — 5y

I'm not getting an error, I'm adding a screenshot of the tool and I'll add the tool definition to that script SpookyBo1 -1 — 5y

Is "ManualActivationOnly" checked under the tool? Script seems to work after ticking that box. Also, just for safety, throw repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character at the top of your script. LetterSlayer 42 — 5y

Never mind ManualActivationOnly, that doesn't need to be ticked. Untick "RequiresHandle". LetterSlayer 42 — 5y

I'm still not seeing the GUI onscreen after toggling requireshandle and using the wait for character SpookyBo1 -1 — 5y
