[SOLVED] How to fix: 'PlayerGui is not a valid member of PlayerGui'???

Asked 1,917 views1 answers

I have a ScreenGui named 'PlayerGui' and inside the gui, there is a Frame.

In a localscript under a different ScreenGui I want to hide the 'Frame' inside PlayerGui.

My script: 

script.Parent.Parent.PlayerGui.Frame.Visible = false

This script doesn't work, and roblox outputs with this message: "PlayerGui is not a valid member of PlayerGui"

I tried another script: 

game.StarterGui.PlayerGui.Frame.Visible = false

This script also doesn't work, and outputs with the same message.

I have double checked everything and can 100% guarantee that everything is under StarterGui and its ScreenGui.

How do I fix this problem?

did you try putting it into a serverscript and using the 2nd piece of code you put?

The problem is that the script is working, and the visible box is checked in 'Frame' but the actual thing is not showing, and I don't have any other code stopping it from not showing

I even added a print("visible") and it printed "visible" but the frame is not showing! Is this a roblox studio bug or something?

When you try to change a UI in the PlayerGui of the Player, you need a LocalScript. Put this in the StarterGui

When you're in a LocalScript you can find who is the Client "Player"

LocalScript

local PlayerService = game:GetService('Players') -- This is the folder that you can see in the Explorer. Here the Players connected at your game.

local Player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer -- Here you can find  the Client
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui') -- Here you find the PlayerGui.
local ScreenGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild('ScreenGui') -- Here you find the PlayerGui.

ScreenGui:WaitForChild('Frame').Visible = false

StarterGui is where your ScreenGui that replicate to the Clients. You doesn't need that.
