My game doesnt recognize my boolean value, and whenever i run the game i get this error:
Players.SimplyBloo.PlayerGui.Menu.MenuMainScript:14: attempt to index local 'MenuOver' (a boolean value)
I have a boolean value in the Menu, where the script is located.
Here is my code:
local MenuOver = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("MenuOver")
MenuOver = false
print(MenuOver.Value)
What is the problem here?
Explanation
The reason the output is printing attempt to index local 'MenuOver'( a boolean Value) is because that you have made a simple mistake in the script. You forgot to add the .Value after MenuOver because a BoolValue has a value inside it's properties called Value itself. You are trying toprint it's value when you haven't even set it's value, you have set it's boolean data type.
Problem
local MenuOver = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("MenuOver")
MenuOver = false
print(MenuOver.Value)
Adding a .Value after MenuOver would fix your problem.
Solution
local MenuOver = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("MenuOver") -- Define MenuOver
MenuOver.Value = false -- Set the value to false
print(MenuOver.Value) -- Print it's value to the output
Solution 2
local MenuOver = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("MenuOver")
MenuOver = false
print(MenuOver)
Small tip
If you are ever trying to print something that has a value, just remember to add ``.Value` for example;
print(game.Workspace.Part.StringValue.Value)
I hope this helps you and please up vote this if it has fixed the issue..
It could be because you haven't set it yet, try changing MenuOver = false to MenuOver.Value = false
We're not really sure what happened there in your code but I think MenuOver is a Bool Value for your Menu Gui when it is over the screen.
local MenuOver = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("MenuOver")
MenuOver = false
print(MenuOver.Value)
This is the part where you replaced your MenuOver Bool Value with a Boolean data type false MenuOver = false
Doing this print(MenuOver.Value) would cause an error because it's a Data Type and it does not have any properties like Value.
EDIT: I forgot to add this xD
local MenuOver = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("MenuOver")
MenuOver.Value = false
print(MenuOver.Value)

Uhm, where's the other part of the code?
Is the script inside the bool value and is this the full code?
just add ".Value" at the end, you're directing it to the instance when you just do "MenuOver"
