Button missing?

The problem

So I created a simple GUI that has 2 (currently unfunctional) buttons. A play button and a credits button.

I created a script for the credits button that in theory should animate a side GUI.

The Script

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Button = script.Parent
local GUI = Button.Parent.Parent.TextFrame
local FirstPos = UDim2.fromScale(0,0)
local LastPos = UDim2.fromScale(0.65,0.5)
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)


GUI.Position = FirstPos

local anim = tweenService:Create(GUI, tweenInfo, LastPos)


Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	anim:Play()
end)

The problem (cont.)

However, When playtesting the credits button (script.Parent) is gone. I have checked the explorer for problems and in the explorer, it’s deleted. I never put any code in to delete the GUI and the only free model I used has been stripped down to just parts unions and meshes. (it had some scripts in it for a reason that I didn’t need at the moment)

Whoops. Forgot to update the code from when I was trying to see what was wrong

#2

use GUI:TweenPosition I think, is better

#3

How do you do that? Is there something else I am missing or is it just that?

#4

Is it possible that because you set the GUI.Position to be FirstPos, and because FirstPos is (0,0) it deletes it?

#5

Not sure. Ill try to see what happens if i remove that piece of code

#6

Nope. Just removed that piece and yet it still deletes the button

#7

check in your playergui to see if the button is deleted or where it is

#8

I have already checked. In playerGUI its just deleted.

Hold on are you trying to make the GUI tween down and then it’s gonna open into a new screen with the credits?

#10

No im trying to make a new screen (the credits) tween RIGHT Without removing the other GUI

#11

Huh, I think if you’re trying to make it move positions, you could use :TweenPosition
I haven’t used it myself but I’m pretty sure its what you’re looking for

#12

Im checking it out right now actually. Although not sure if it will fix my disapearing button problem

#13

Still gone. Replaced it with tween position but the button still deletes.

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Button = script.Parent
local guiObject = Button.Parent.Parent.TextFrame
local FirstPos = UDim2.fromScale(0,0)
local LastPos = UDim2.fromScale(0.65,0.5)
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)


guiObject.Position = FirstPos


Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local play = guiObject:TweenPosition(LastPos, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 1.5, false)
	
	if play then 
		print("did it work?")
	end
end)

If you’re trying to get the current GUI to shift over to the right you could try something like

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
     GUI:TweenPosition(
      UDim2.new(x,x,y,y),
      Enum.EasingDirection = X,
      Enum.EasingStyle = X,
      true/false (override other tweens I think),
      1 (However long you want it to last)
)

and this should be closer to what you want
edit: don’t forget commas smh

#15

Ok let me try it out. This looks pretty accurate

#16

No. The button is still gone. i dont think its the script anymore at this point

#17

Do you have any other scripts that might be deleting the button?

#18

No. This is the only script at the moment (at least to my knowledge) and i just temporarily removed all the code in it and its still gone

#19

I’m out of ideas then, maybe try making a new button to see if that works? This is confusing because it doesn’t make the button invisible or anything, it just deletes it

#20

Turns out there was two other scripts that were responsible for fire spread (in the one free model i used). I dont know if those were doing anything malicious but i removed them anyways
