Trying to make gui appear and disappear when variable is changed. I get an error. Fix?
So I am making a GUI for my game with rounds that has a GUI that is supposed to change when a variable (gamestatusv) is changed to 1 or 2. 1 is for on and 2 is for off.
local gamestatusv = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GameStatus") ---- Location of IntValue in game.
game.gamestatusv.Changed:connect(function() --Function
if game.gamestatusv.Value == "1" then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Backs.Visible = true --On
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Heads.Visible = true
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Tails.Visible = true
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TimerGui.Timer.Visible = true
else if gamestatusv.Value == "2" then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Backs.Visible = false --Off
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Heads.Visible = false
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Tails.Visible = false
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TimerGui.Timer.Visible = false
end
end
end)
I get the error: "gamestatusv is not a valid member of datamodel" . I am confused and really stuck. How do I fix this? I can provide the location of things if you need me to.

Because you're not using 'elseif' but 'else if'
And also, you're getting gamestatusv, and not the instance 'gamestatusv'
So if I am right your script should look something like:
local gamestatusv = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GameStatus")
game.gamestatusv.Changed:connect(function()
if game.gamestatusv.Value == "1" then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Backs.Visible = true
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Heads.Visible = true
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Tails.Visible = true
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TimerGui.Timer.Visible = true
elseif game.gamestatusv.Value == "2" then -- where you went wrong.
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Backs.Visible = false
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Heads.Visible = false
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoinGuessGui.Tails.Visible = false
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TimerGui.Timer.Visible = false
end
end
end)
Hope this works!

Line 2 of your script you're calling for game.gamestatusv. So the game is reading that as:
game.game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GameStatus").Changed:Connect(function()
Change it to:
gamestatusv.Changed:Connect(function()
This should work.
