Why does my gui not re open once I close it for the first time?

I have a gui that opens when I click on a part and closes when I click a text button. It works fine until I try to re-open that gui again and I'm not sure why that happens.

Here is my code to open the gui:

function onClicked(PlayerWhoClicked)
        PlayerWhoClicked.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = true
    end

    script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

Here is my code to close the gui:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
end)

Make sure it was a LOCALSCRIPT.

And make the open the gui script's line 2 like this:

PlayerWhoClicked:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = true

its bc only localscript accepts PlayerGui event, and the PlayerGui is not in the workspace before running the game, so you need to put WaitForChild().

This didn't work. The button to close the gui is in a localscript but the other one isn't. When I put it into a localscript it doesn't work anymore. Juansirdudefam 24 — 4y
