My GUi Script is failing and I don't know what it's talking about, keep getting nil error?
When I try to open my book here is what it says and here is my script, and I'm getting frustrated!
local book = game:GetService('Workspace').Table.Book.ClickDetector
local close = PlayerGui.Book.Close
local next1 = PlayerGui.Book.Next1
local back1 = PlayerGui.Book.Back1
book.MouseClick:Connect(function()
PlayerGui.Book.Enabled = true
end)
close.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
PlayerGui.Book.Enabled = false
end)
next1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
PlayerGui.Book.Close.Visible = false
PlayerGui.Book.Close.Selectable = false
PlayerGui.Book.Blood.Visible = false
PlayerGui.Book.Pyro.Visible = false
PlayerGui.Book.Pain.Visible = true
back1.Visible = true
back1.Selectable = true
next1.Visible = false
next1.Selectable = false
The error says 'Players.JaytheKing452.PlayerGui.Book.BookScript:8: attempt to index global 'PlayerGui' (a nil value)'

Ahh I see the problem, you are forgetting to reference the local player. Each player has their own Screen GUI, which means the local player has to be referenced before accessing the PlayerGui. It would go something like this!
local plr = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
local book = game:GetService('Workspace').Table.Book.ClickDetector
local close = plr.PlayerGui.Book.Close
local next1 = plr.PlayerGui.Book.Next1
local back1 = plr.PlayerGui.Book.Back1
book.MouseClick:Connect(function()
plr.PlayerGui.Book.Enabled = true
end)
close.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
plr.PlayerGui.Book.Enabled = false
end)
next1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
plr.PlayerGui.Book.Close.Visible = false
plr.PlayerGui.Book.Close.Selectable = false
plr.PlayerGui.Book.Blood.Visible = false
plr.PlayerGui.Book.Pyro.Visible = false
plr.PlayerGui.Book.Pain.Visible = true
back1.Visible = true
back1.Selectable = true
next1.Visible = false
next1.Selectable = false
Do you see how I am referencing the local player before gui, just remember that!
