Dependency not working as intended

[skarytyler3454403 (TheBug8)]

Working on a tycoon right now and I have FirstDropperButton, SecondDropperButton, ThirdDropperButton, and Upgrader. I have Dependency stringvalue in SecondDropperButton set to FirstDropper. In ThirdDropperButton I also have a stringvalue to SecondDropperButton but the second, third and upgrader buttons skip right over and spawn in.

And what the StringValues does? whats the code to handle the buttons spawn?

[skarytyler3454403 (TheBug8)]

for i, v in pairs(Buttons:GetChildren()) do
	local NewItem = Boughtitems:FindFirstChild(v.Item.Value)
	if NewItem ~= nil then

		items[NewItem.Name] = NewItem:Clone()

		NewItem:Destroy()

	else

		v.ButtonPart.Transparency = 1

		v.ButtonPart.CanCollide = false
		
		v.ButtonPart.BillboardGui.Frame.Visible = false
		
		
	end

	if v:FindFirstChild("Dependency") then

		coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()

			v.ButtonPart.Transparency = 1

			v.ButtonPart.CanCollide = false
			
			v.ButtonPart.BillboardGui.Frame.Visible = false

			if Boughtitems:WaitForChild(v.Dependency.Value, 1000000) then

				v.ButtonPart.Transparency = 0

				v.ButtonPart.CanCollide = true
				
				v.ButtonPart.BillboardGui.Frame.Visible = true
			end
		end))
	end

	v.ButtonPart. Touched:Connect(function(Hit)

		if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)

			if Values.OwnerValue.Value == player then

				if v.ButtonPart.CanCollide == true and v.ButtonPart.Transparency == 0 then

					if player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Tix.Value >= v.Price.Value then

						player.leaderstats.Tix.Value -= v.Price.Value

						items[v.Item.Value].Parent = Boughtitems

						v:Destroy()
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

You are iterating a “folder” with all those buttons, if v:FindFirstChild("Dependency") then you turn all buttons transparent etc, and right in the same function you are looking again if any Dependency.Value exist in the button if Boughtitems:WaitForChild(v.Dependency.Value, 1000000) And turning the buttons to transparency 0.
You are double the checking the same thing twice, frist to turn them invisible and then to turn them visible

Do I change one of the transparency?

I think more info is required to know what you should do.
Whats the idea of having stringValues in those buttons with the name of other buttons?
I dont know when you are setting those values, and the purpose of that.

You only mentioned that some buttons spawns and I guess you dont want them to spawn yet. I think you should rework the logic on how your system is working and say more details on whats your goal and whats your approach for it.
