Disabling CoreGui Backpack

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to keep the CoreGui Backpack type disabled.

  2. What is the issue? I attempt to pcall the backpack away using this:

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

local success, errors = pcall(function()
	StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)
end)
if not success then
	print(errors)
end

I also tried putting

game:GetService('StarterGui'):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)

at the beginning of my script and that did not work either.

The Backpack gui will come back immediately after gaining a tool in the inventory. When I try to disable it in the command bar it also comes back immediately. That is also the only script where I disable the backpack.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? I looked around on the devforum and could not find anything related to my issue. I asked on a scripting assistance discord server and no one replied.

I need to keep the backpack disabled for my custom hotbar/inventory system and it keeps coming back no matter what I try.

Make sure this is running on a localscript, and The parent of it is StarterGui or either StarterPlayerScripts.

#3

The parent is in StarterPlayerScripts and it still came back.

#4

It still wonā€™t function? Thatā€™s the point?

#5

Yes, the Backpack is meant to disable and not come back. However, when I add a tool to my backpack, the Backpack re-appears.

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

local success, errors = pcall(function()
	StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)
end)
if not success then
	print(errors)
end

(In StarterPlayerScripts)

Ok, the only thing you did wrong was use (ā€˜StarterGuiā€™) it must be (ā€œStarterGuiā€).

  • Hereā€™s an Example
game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)

This still did not work. (need more chars)

#8

Perhaps youā€™re studio glitched, because this is the main function to disable the backpackā€¦

Maybe you should try restarting studio?

#9

Is there anything that could be interfering with this function?

#10

Quotations using ā€™ or " should not matter. These syntaxes function the same in identifying a string.

@H34E7R Are you using a local script?

Hereā€™s a test place that I made for you:
Test.rbxl (28.3 KB)
Seems to function here.

Yes it is a local script. Is there anything that could be interfering with this script?

#12

You donā€™t need to use pcall function, and just place the local script in the StarterPack or StarterGui , the reason is the parent of your local script, StarterPlayerScript wonā€™t reset after death. So remove the pcall function and parent your local script in StarterGui

#13 
game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)

This is in a script inside StarterGui with my inventory/hotbar system.
I tried making a script with only that line and the backpack still came back.

#14

Hmmm, would you mind trying my place out?

If the error doesnā€™t persist there, then it could be a local script in your game that is consistently setting the backpack gui to true.

If the error does persist in there, then Iā€™m thinking it could either be a studio problem, or a script in the tool is controlling your gui (which I HIGHLY doubt)

#15

Have you checked any other scripts, some of them may set the Backpack to true

#16

The issue is non-persistent.

The only place where I set the backpack. I have no idea what could be interfering however.

Can you have a video about it ?

That is really weird. I have another test for you.

In your local script, try typing this:

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)

local start = tick()
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if tick() - start > 0.5 then
		start = tick()
		print(StarterGui:GetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack))
	end
end)

This basically prints the status of your backpack gui every 0.5 seconds. Check to see what the output consistently prints.

#20

This is interesting. It is printing true every .5 seconds.

It printed false for 2 seconds and then printed true
