Why is my GUI not popping up when I click a button?
I am currently having a problem where when i click a button it will not pop up the gui, please help:
1 | local sd = game.StarterGui.SchoolShopGUI.DirtSwordInfo |
2 |
3 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
4 | sd.Visible = true |
5 | end) |

StarterGui is a Server Replication Container. It’s contents are stored in another container called PlayerGui upon the Client loading. To actively modify the UI, you must reference PlayerGui instead. Ziffixture 6913 — 5y

Try this.
1 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | local sd = plr.PlayerGui.SchoolShopGUI.DirtSwordInfo |
3 |
4 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
5 | sd.Visible = true |
6 | end) |
Also, make sure this is a localscript.

I don't see an error in the script unless what you're trying to set visible to true to is not a frame or anything without the property of "Visible". Maybe add wait() or WaitForChild
1 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | wait() |
3 | local sd = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("SchoolShopGUI").DirtSwordInfo |
4 |
5 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
6 | sd.Visible = true |
7 | end) |

Please don’t use recursive methods, make a new variable for each set., or store the Script as a descendant of the respective GUI to eliminate load issues altogether. Following that example, apply script:FindFirstAncestor("DirtSwordInfo") Ziffixture 6913 — 5y
