Button sometimes does not open the GUI, no errors or warnings thrown

So, I’m trying to make a pets button to open a GUI with them (just like in simulators), the problem is, that the UI does not open all the time the button is pressed. I have no clue why this is happening and it may be just a dumb error of mine. (Also I know that this is my second question in a matter of 2 days)

Script of the button:

local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")

local function TweenUI(object, info, goal)

	local tween = ts:Create(object, info, goal)
	tween:Play()
end

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	.2,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
	Enum.EasingDirection.In,
	0,
	false,
	0
)

local goal = {
	["Position"] = UDim2.new(0.05, 0,0.049, 0)
}

local goalOutL = {
	["Position"] = UDim2.new(0.043, 0,0.038, 0)
}

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PetsUI.Enabled = true
	script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
	
	TweenUI(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PetsUI.Gradient, tweenInfo, goal)
	TweenUI(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PetsUI.Outline, tweenInfo, goalOutL)

	local blur = Instance.new("BlurEffect")
	blur.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera
	blur.Size = 12
end)

Have you tried printing the result inside MouseButton1Down is being fired?

#3

Not yet, let me try to do that real quick.

#4

It seems to print only when it opens the UI window, else it ignores it, maybe something with recognizing the click event?

#5

Alright, Figured it out, there’s a problem wit the icon, it seems to block the button.

Not quite sure how to fix it though, Z-index either hides it or makes it blocked since the icon will interfere.

#7

You could just use the Icon instead, change the Icon to ImageButton.

Had to change it to imagelabel, for some reason the plugin imported the icon as a button, and interference between the two was made, cause it registered a click on the imageButton, not the pets button. Thanks for you time though, I appreciate it a lot!

How about check if the mouse is hovering the Icon with MouseEnter and MouseLeave functions and use Mouse.Button1Down:

local IsHovering = false

Icon.MouseEnter:Connect(function() IsHovering = true end)
Icon.MouseLeave:Connect(function() IsHovering = false end)

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    if IsHovering then
        ...
    end
end

nah, It’s fixed as I stated in the message above you! I just had to covert it to a label since it got imported as a button.
