Asked 253 views1 answers

script is in serverscriptserv and the button in startergui in the screengui called introbeam.

what i'm trying to do is to get this script to visible a frame then invisible a frame. but seems to be not working.. 

frame = game.StarterGui.IntroBeam

Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.BlackEvent
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,Gui)
if Gui == "On" then
	if frame.Beam.Visible == false then
		frame.Beam.Visible = true
	elseif frame.Beam.Visible == true then
		frame.Beam.Visible = false
		end

end
end)

you cant access a gui using local script which your using a server script in ServerScriptService which would work in studio but not ingame. just switch the normal script(server script) to a local script inside your gui called Beam. also i wouldnt suggest using StarterGui to access a gui since its called StarterGui so you would need to reset, just use the player's PlayerGui like this example:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

player.PlayerGui.frame.Beam.Visible = false

also you could use the not function, so you wouldnt need to use a bool value to toggle or the method of some sort that your using and you dont need remote events for this.

example script

script.Parent.Visible = not script.Parent.Visible -- "not" is like a toggle and you can use it in if statments, but it wouldnt be a toggle

i didnt show the full script since you werent that descriptive and i dont know whats gui and you didnt show the script that fired the event

only if it was something that could be done by the server only you would need remote events, if there isnt just use a local script
