I don't really see anything wrong with the script, so can you show the whole script? CjayPlyz 643 — 5y

To be strict here, TextBoxes are artificial GUIs made by mankind. Nature had nothing to do with creating the GUI. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

`script.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextBox.Visible` `=`  `true`

so first of all you should make a new script in that ScreenGui it would make the code a lot less messy. Make sure its player gui too here's what it would look like if you did NOT make a new script in the screengui:

script.Parent.Parent.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TextBox").Visible = true

if you do make a script in the new screen gui which you should it would look like this:

script.Parent:WaitForChild("TextBox").Visible = true

The reason why it won't work is because you're going into the StarterGui service. The startergui service clones itself into the player, so any changes you do in there won't replicate to the other players.

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer --We get the player in this variable.

Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScreenGui.TextBox.Visible = true --We find all of the GUIs in the player, which is located in the PlayerGui, and then find the specific GUI we want, and then change the visible property of the TextBox inside the ScreenGui to true.
