(Solved!) Infinite Yield for making a GUI visible on touch?

Asked 488 views1 answers

When I step on the part it has a infinite yield for the gui shop to turn visible can someone help?

I believe everything is right with the script but it's probably not I probably made a small error.

Here's the script!

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local char = hit.Parent
	local playerName = char.Name
	local player = game.Players[playerName]
	local shop = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Shop")
	
	shop.ChooseShop.Visible = true
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hitEnd)
	local char = hitEnd.Parent
	local playerName = char.Name
	local player = game.Players[playerName]
	local shop = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Shop")
	
	shop.ChooseShop.Visible = false
end)

You cannot access any gui from server

just clone the gui from replicated storage or something to the playergui

The .Touched and .TouchEnded can also spam hundreds of touched and touchended events unless you use a debounce

A script can't access a PlayerGui's descendants so I would recommend u use a :Clone() and :Destroy() like this . You need to parent the shop gui inside the script.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local char = hit.Parent
    local playerName = char.Name
    local player = game.Players[playerName]
    shop = script.Shop--You need to put the shop gui as a child of the script
    shop.Parent = plr.PlayerGui
    shop.ChooseShop.Visible = true
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hitEnd)
    local char = hitEnd.Parent
    local playerName = char.Name
    local player = game.Players[playerName]
    shop:Destroy()
end)
