Why won't this textbutton make another textbutton visible?

Asked by

Okay, so I'm working on a game and I'm trying to make this button make another button visible. It was working splendidly until I made the button that I want to turn visible bigger, and it broke for some reason. I tried making the button visible to make sure that you can see it, and you can, it's just the script that doesn't work anymore. It's a local script and no errors. Script:


local toggle = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if toggle == false then
    toggle = true
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Frame.FeedTheTabby.Visible = true

    else

    toggle = false

    end
end)

Thank you!

Ok so, this is a common mistake that newer scripters make. I myself made this mistake when I first started. This script is editing the gui in StarterGui while what the player sees is located in the player folder in PlayerGui. You will need to use Remote Events to communicate with the server that the client pressed the button. The developer wiki has a good article on this found at this link: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Remote-Functions-and-Events. If after using remote events, it still doesnt work feel free to ask another question!
