There’s another problem. The expectations are the TextLabel will show when the Power goes out, but I cannot Parent the TextLabel.
If you’re trying parent the textlabel outside of the screengui, the textlabel will not show as a result. Why not just edit the properties needed excluding the Parent? But if you do want to Parent the textlabel outside of the screengui, how come .Parent = ExampleHere doesn’t work?

Is this a good way to represent the Parent –
local Sounds = game.ReplicatedStorage["Handler (RS)"].Sounds:WaitForChild("PowerSounds") -- Recognising the Group of Sounds.
Yes. Any style of representing an instance as long it is efficient and correct, it’s a good way.

When the Power turns (Off), the TextLabel in PowerOutageGui will show. Then it will fade away, so it isn’t permanent for when the Power is (Off). When the Power is turned (On) the TextLabel doesn’t show at all. This process will repeat forever until the Player leaves the game.
The TextLabel will say “Find the Power Box to activate the Power.”

Are you sure you typed in the correct path of the textlabel? Is there something else in the script turning the visibility of the textlabel to false once the power is on? Or is it intentional that it won’t show when the power is on?

Did you forget to type .Visible? If you want the textlabel to show once the power is on again why not put another one in the function that sets the power to on. Does this fix your issue?

I only want the TextLabel to show when the Power turns (Off).
Then just put this in the function named “SetPowerOut()”:
Then also put this in the SetPowerOn function:
for _, Player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
if Player:FindFirstChildOfClass("PlayerGui") then
local PowerOutageGui = Player:FindFirstChildOfClass("PlayerGui"):FindFirstChild("PowerOutageGui")
if PowerOutageGui ~= nil then
PowerOutageGui.TextLabel.Visible = false
end

this worked.
-- Getting the PowerOuatageGui in PlayerGui.
for _, Player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do

local PowerOutage = Player:FindFirstChildOfClass("PlayerGui"):FindFirstChild("PowerOutageGui"):FindFirstChildOfClass("TextLabel")
if PowerOutage ~= nil then

end
end
end
Would I have to add two of the same tables but one functions Power(On) and the other functions Power(Off)?

It seems like it. But make a backup of your script before testing it out. You might lose a lot of progress if you can’t undo it.
