Why does the code in these if statements run even though none of it is true?
I have a GUI which I want to open using a button in a different GUI. When said GUI is open (the one which opens the other one) and I press the button nothing happens. Otherwise, the GUI opens even if my boolvalue, Open is set to false. I'm using all LocalScripts by the way.
--Script one
local open = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.KartChoiceGUI.Open
local gui = script.Parent
if open == true then
gui.Visible = true
else
gui.Visible = false
end
--Script two
local button = script.Parent
local gui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.KartBuyGUI
local lit = button.MouseButton1Click
local open = script.Parent.Parent.Open
if lit then
open = true
end
if open == true then
gui.Visible = true
end
if gui.Visible == true then
if not lit then
if not open then
gui.Visible = false
end
end
end
The code in these if statements are run, regardless of the fact if they're true or not.

You didnt define the value property of your boolean, so your just comparing a bool to a Instance. Also if the boolean is only being used by the local script then you could just use a variable defined as a boolean instead. Another thing is that your getting the Open Gui via StarterGui which you really dont need to do, since your LocalScript is in StarterGui.
local open = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.KartChoiceGUI.Open local gui = script.Parent if open.Value == true then gui.Visible = true else gui.Visible = false end --Script two local button = script.Parent local gui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.KartBuyGUI local open = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.KartChoiceGUI.Open button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- think you want it to execute through a event open.Value = true if open.Value == true then gui.Visible = true end if gui.Visible == true then if not open.Value then gui.Visible = false end end)
and your defining a variable as the MouseButton1Click event and using it in a If statement which wont work since it isnt a bool.
