Blur won't Destory

Hello,

I the blur stays under camera and doesn’t get destroyed. The gui turns invisible though.

function onClick()
	
	local blur = Instance.new('BlurEffect')
	blur.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera
	
	local shopFrame = script.Parent.Parent.ShopScreen
	
	if shopFrame.Visible == false then
		shopFrame.Visible = true
		blur.Enabled = true
	else
		shopFrame.Visible = false
		blur.Enabled = false
	end
	
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(onClick)

This is inside of a localscript. No errors are appearing in the output. I appreciate any and all help with this :slight_smile: . If you need anymore information, just ask.

Hi there Mithrandir, according to your script, you are never attempting to destroy the blur, simply disable it. Also, a better solution would be as follows:
local blur = workspace.CurrentCamera:FindFirstChildOfClass("BlurEffect") or Instance.new("BlurEffect")

This should make your code functional, as currently, you’re creating a new blur each and every time and the conditional statement (if) below disables the new blur you just created if the Shop Frame is hidden, and leaves a non-referenced blur in the camera if it’s visible.

The problem is that you are creating a blur inside your function. So every time, a new blur effect instance is being created, so the old blur is not being disabled.

So, to fix your script remove and place the code I just quoted outside of the function.

To add to this you would have to use the function :Destroy to fully remove the blur effect from the player’s camera.
