Dialog choice to make ui visible

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to make a dialog choice to makes a ui visible. The problem is that it prints out the gun but it still wont make it visible. This is a local script because it doesn’t work on server scripts. Here is a vid and the code

local dialog = game.Workspace.Cashier.Head.Dialog

dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:Connect(function(player, choice)
	print(choice)
	if choice == "gun" then
		script.Parent.Visible = true
	end
end)

#2

can you check the explorer to see if the ui visible property actually changes before and after

#3

It doesn’t change and i checked inside playergui not starter gui

#4

i also added an else and and make it print wrong if it is else and it prints wrong even though they are the exact same

#5

maybe they arent the exact same, try print(#choice) i think it gives the character count and it should be 3

#6

what you said didint work so i first had to change the choice to a string butafter i did that it printed 3

#7

so it prints 3 and also says it doesnt match?

#8

:+1: yes correct :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:

#9

can you print type(choice) to see what it outputs, should be string

#10

Really simple fix!
You’re using an if statement to detect if there is a string named “gun”, however, this is not how you utilize it.
Rather, you will detect if the user selects the correct option.

local dialog = game.Workspace.Cashier.Head.Dialog
local guiFrame = script.Parent

dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:Connect(function(player, choice)
	if choice == dialog["Rent A Gun"] then
		script.Parent.Visible = true
	end
end)

Your explorer setup should look something like this.
