I'm trying to create a button that opens up a GUI but it doesn't work, why?

So basically when you click a button it will make these 2 GUIs appear. This is the code I put in the button but it doesn't work:

kickgui1 = game.StarterGui.GUIKick.Frameholder
warngui1 = game.StarterGui.GUIWarn.Frameholder

function onClicked(GUI)
    if kickgui1.Visible == false then
        kickgui1.Visible = true
        warngui1.Visible = true
    else
        warngui1.Visible = false 
        kickgui1.Visible = false
    end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked)

well, you have to use the player gui as the player gui is local to the player, which the starter gui isn't. I.E.

local plr = game.Player.LocalPlayer
kickgui1 = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").GUIKick.Frameholder
warngui1 = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").GUIWarn.Frameholder

function onClicked(GUI)
    if kickgui1.Visible == false then
        kickgui1.Visible = true
        warngui1.Visible = true
    else
        warngui1.Visible = false 
        kickgui1.Visible = false
    end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onClicked)

while the starter gui is a child of the game object, the player gui is a child of the player object

I figured out how to fix it:

button = script.Parent
window = button.Parent
kickgui1 = window.Parent.Parent.GUIKick:FindFirstChild("Frameholder")
warngui1 = window.Parent.Parent.GUIWarn:FindFirstChild("Frameholder")

function onClicked(GUI)
    if kickgui1.Visible == false then
        kickgui1.Visible = true
        warngui1.Visible = true
    else
        warngui1.Visible = false 
        kickgui1.Visible = false
    end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onClicked)
