When one WaitForChild fails, the others won’t work. Remove the 2nd parameter from WaitForChild.

#3

I added the second parameter because it wasn’t working before without it.

#4

Is it a local script or script?

#5

It is a localscript (30 letter requirement)

#6

Where do you have the localscript?

#7

StarterGui (LocalPlayer.PlayerGui)

#8

Well then why go into the PlayerGui, when you can access it by doing script.Parent.

#9

added more if findfirstchild statements and it worked
