Close gui script not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a store gui in my game, but the close script does not work. If anyone could help, that would be great.

Here is my script:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

script.Parent.Parent.Frame.Visible = false

end)

It is for a shop gui for a game in my group Classics Remake.

If this is on a Server Script, the changes will not be replicated across to your side since it’s changing from the server’s POV

Change it to a LocalScript instead & if for some reason that doesn’t work, try this:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local GuiToActivate = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GuiThingy")

GuiToActivate.TextButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    GuiToActivate.Frame.Visible = false
end)

First of all, can you check if your button is active? It would be script.Parent.Active. I would then check your explorer hierarchy and see if anything is not right there.

I’d also add a print to the function to see if it’s even firing the event.

I will try it, thanks for the help.

#5

They did not work, any other suggestions?

#6

Can you add print statements to check what runs and what doesn’t? You should have the GuiThingy named to what your GuiObject is

#7

So, since the screen gui is called shop, thats what I replace GuiThingy with? Is that what you mean?

#8

Yeah, that’s what you should have

Should look something like this:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local GuiToActivate = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Shop")
print("Script running")

GuiToActivate.TextButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    print("Fired")
    GuiToActivate.Frame.Visible = false
end)

Also make sure to parent your TextButton & Frame correctly

#9

Okay, I will try that and see.

#10

This is how I have it all set up, is this right, becase their is a chance that it could be the problem.

The open button works, but the close button still does not.

Okay, you have a lot of TextButtons, which the script can’t be able to identify which specific one you’re looking for

Fixed script:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local GuiToActivate = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Shop")
print("Script running")

GuiToActivate.Frame.Close.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    print("Fired")
    GuiToActivate.Frame.Visible = false
end)

It worked, thank you so much for your help.
