I created a terms and agreement GUI and I wanted it to show up after 5-10 seconds after a player (or me) joins. I took a wild guess while attempting to make it work, but it didn't. Here's my wild wild guess:
while true do
script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
wait(12)
script.Parent.Parent.Visible = true
end
Apparently, the local script is inside the Frame of the ScreenGUI.
You're using a while loop with no break between true and false, this means that the gui is changing it back to false before it is even noticable that is is visible to the human eye.
try doing it without the loop
frame = script.Parent.Parent --what you want to be visible
frame.Visible = false
wait(12)
frame.Visible = true
Okay, somehow I solved my own question, haha. Marolex's suggestion didn't work for some reason. Marolex's suggestion
frame = script.Parent.Parent --what you want to be visible
frame.Visible = false
wait(12)
frame.Visible = true
I then got an error when I was testing: 03:54:51.416 - Something unexpectedly tried to set the parent of Rules and Terms to NULL while trying to set the parent of Rules and Terms. Current parent is PlayerGui.
I knew right away that something HAS to be the parent of "Rules and Terms". This is it:
frame = script.Parent.Frame --what you want to be visible
frame.Visible = false
wait(12)
frame.Visible = true
frame = script.Parent.Parent was defining itself and caused a nil to occur. frame = script.Parent.Frame was defining the frame to appear.
This discussion is preserved as it was. New answers, comments, and votes are closed.

So apparently, this pops up when I tested my place with your suggestion: 03:54:51.416 - Something unexpectedly tried to set the parent of Rules and Terms to NULL while trying to set the parent of Rules and Terms. Current parent is PlayerGui.
Is there anything else in the script? because my code isnt editing the parent of anything.
Well, this is all I've gotten inside this tree: http://prntscr.com/3yxb6z
i see 2 scripts
ShowGUIOnce makes the GUI not appear the second time you die and respawn. Delay is the script that is supposed to make the GUI show up, and I think that's where most of the problems are occuring.
