What's wrong with my function script? The text transparency doesn't change after two clicks

Hello,

I'm self-learning how to use a script that defines the function then uses it. I know some basics but I'm trying to perfect it. But I try this script, but it doesn't work.

local button = script.Parent
local chosen = false

function Chosen()
	if chosen == false then 
		button.TextTransparency = 0 
		
	elseif chosen == true then 
		button.TextTransparency = 1
	end
	end
	
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Chosen)

What i'm trying to do is basically when you press a text button, the button.TextTransparency = 0, but that's if they haven't already chosen it. I'm making a choice selection GUI, so you pick a choice and then press a button to make the GUI disappear.

You press a text box that you have picked, and the text "Chosen" will come up. I have set the transparency the text to 1, so it can be set to zero. I then I have a variable called "local chosen = false" (basically meaning that it has not been chosen yet, but when it is chosen, the value will be set to true.

The issue is that once when I have pressed the option, it says "Chosen", and when I press it again, the text transparency is 1. This part is okay so far but the issue is when I press the button again, the text transparency does not change, but I want it to.

I'm guessing that some sort of loop might have to be set up to make sure this function occurs again and again.

How would I achieve this?

Thanks, Tony

this should help

local button = script.Parent
local chosen = false

 function Chosen()

    if chosen == false then

        button.TextTransparency = 0
     chosen=true--setting chosen to true--
 

    elseif chosen == true then

        button.TextTransparency = 1
      chosen=false--if you what to make it show when you click again-- 
    end

    end

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Chosen)

You forgot to Update the variable after click.

Example:

-- Incorrect(NO UPDATE)
local value = true

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if value == true then
		print("True")
		-- Here repeat printing "True" in all clicks, why? you forgot to update the variable. for fix this, simple change the variable named as "value" to false. (see this in next example.)
	else
		print("False")
	end
end)
--[[
Output (3 clicks):
True
True
True
]]

-- Correct(UPDATING)

local value = true

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if value == true then
		print("True")
		value = false -- Updated the variable the variable for print "False" in next click
	else
		print("False")
		value = true -- Update the variable for print "True" in next click
	end
end)

--[[
Output (3 clicks):
True
False
True
]]

Fixed script:

local button = script.Parent
local chosen = false

function Chosen()
    if chosen == false then 
        button.TextTransparency = 0 
		chosen = true
    elseif chosen == true then
        button.TextTransparency = 1
		chosen = false
    end
end

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Chosen)
