Cannot make frame visible through scripts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I’m kinda in a roadblock here because I tried to create a script that makes it so that a few seconds after i join the invisible frame becomes visible. However, it won’t work. I tried to find solutions to this by looking at dev forum posts and its really hard to find a working solution. Most of the things i’ve tried just didn’t work. Here is my script that I tried to do.

local testdia1 = game.StarterGui.testdia1 -- test dia is screen gui


wait(7)
print('Attempting, Please wait!')

testdia1.TextLabel.Visible = true

testdia1.TextLabel.Text = 'So you came? Waiting for all players.'

if testdia1.TextLabel.Visible == true
then
print('Script Running')	

else

		print('Script broken')
  end

I tried putting it in other places, including starterplayerscripts, startercharacterscripts, startergui(screengui), workspace, replicatedfirst, replicated storage, and workspace. It’s currently a local script. If there’s anything im doing wrong, please tell me.

My second attempt was the same thing, except through a playeradded function. However, it did no use.

Are you waiting the 7 seconds to see if it actually became visible also make sure the Gui.Enabled = true

#3

When I tried Gui.Enabled = true, it said Gui.Enabled = true, however, it still didn’t work. By the way, when I checked out my properties, it said that frame and textlabel was visible.

#4

Also I recommend that you use local gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.testdial as you are referencing the one in StarterGui compared to the one on screen.

#5

Is something above the label? or is the labels position out of the area to see it?

#6

Well its on the same position. When I tried to enable the textlabel as visible before I went on the game, it worked. However, when I didn’t, no go.

#7

I also tried that yet it didn’t work for some reason.

#8

should be
local testdia1 = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.testdia1
and after that you can try
testdia1.Enabled = true

#9

The only issue I can see, is that your trying to get the label from which the client can’t see.

Which @Sartorra has said with " game.StarterGui.testdia1" because its not in the Players screenGui.

Weird. It said testdia1 isn’t a valid member of PlayerGui. Maybe I have to change it from a local script to a regular script?

#11

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Can you elaborate on that? I mean, testdia1 is in startergui.

#12

You wrote down testdial instead of testdia1

#13

Is “testdia1l” loaded in the screengui?
And what is the class of testdia1l?

#14

It’s a glitch. Its hard to take a screenshot of something that small. I’ve rechecked the scripts and I can assure you its testdia1.
