Why won't the GUI open when I press G?
The code is in a LocalScript
Player - game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse - player:GetMouse()
gui - script.Parent
frame - gui.frame
open - false
function.PressG(key)
if (key == "g") then
if (Open == false) then
frame.Visible = true
open = true
elseif (open == true) then
frame.Visible = false
open = false
end
end
end
Mouse.KeyDown:Connect(PressG)
Have I done something wrong?

You're using two different open functions. Lua relies on capitalization so change line 8 to a lowercase "O". Also you must add the key parameter to when you call the function as well else it will be marked as nil. Dashes are not a viable way to set a variable, you must use an equal sign. jmbooth10 20 — 6y

--use equal marks not dashes
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService") --Mouse.KeyDown deprecated
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local gui = script.Parent
local frame = gui.Frame
--gameProcessed event determines whether a core gui, like the chat, is active at the time the key is pressed. therefore, this event will not fire if you are typing in the roblox chat
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,gameProc)
if not gameProc and key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.G then
frame.Visible = not frame.Visible --sets to opposite value
end
end)
