Enable UI not working?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’m trying to check what tools are in the players backpack. If there is any tools in their backpack, it makes the enable variable false. It’s not working, but it is printing the function I called. No errors in the output.

Script:

local blur = game.Lighting.BlurShop
local button = script.Parent.First.Play
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

for i, v in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("Tool") then
		print(v)
		script.Parent.Enabled = false
	end
end

blur.Enabled = true

plr.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.Classic
plr.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 50
plr.CameraMinZoomDistance = 50
script.Parent.Enabled = true

local health = Instance.new("IntValue", script.Parent)
health.Name = "Health"
health.Value = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").MaxHealth

plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").MaxHealth = math.huge
plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health = math.huge

--plr.PlayerGui.Ammo.Enabled = false
plr.PlayerGui.Health.Enabled = false
if plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("HotBarGUI") then
	plr.PlayerGui.HotBarGUI.Enabled = false
end
plr.PlayerGui.PlayerInfo.Enabled = false
plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Stamina").Enabled = false

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.SelectWeapon.Visible = true
	for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.First:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("ImageButton") or v:IsA("TextButton") or v:IsA("TextLabel")  then
			v.Visible = false
		end
	end
end)

Help soon,

Is this error occurring when a tool is equipped? Roblox moves tools from your inventory to you character when you equip that tool.

#3

I’m pretty sure you’re actually disabling the Script’s parent?

for i, v in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("Tool") then
		print(v)
		script.Parent.Enabled = false -- Did you mean v.Enabled = false?
	end
end
#4

The script is placed in a ScreenGui, so I’m trying to make it not enabled.

#5

The tool is not equipped when the script starts.

#6

Do you want the ScreenGui to be disabled when a tool is inside a player’s backpack?

If so, should it work when a tool is already inside the player’s Backpack when loading, or should it disappear when a player grabs a tool?

my bad didn’t read your last reply.

You made a for loop, without wrapping it in a function statement, and then connecting it to the ChildAdded event (and perhaps event ChildRemoved if you want the UI to reappear) when a player grabs a tool.

I want the screen disabled when it finds the tool in the players backpack.

You should do…

local function disableIfToolsPresent()
	for i, v in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Tool") then
			print(v)
			script.Parent.Enabled = false
			
			return -- stops when a tool is found
		end
	end
	
	-- (only if you need the ui to reappear, otherwise remove this.) if a tool is not found, then...
	
	script.Parent.Enabled = true
end
disableIfToolsPresent() - if a tool is already in the backpack, just in case.

--... other code stuff you have, up until the button part ...

plr.Backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(disableIfToolsPresent)
-- if you want the UI to reappear when you have no tools...
plr.Backpack.ChildRemoved:Connect(disableIfToolsPresent)

The loop is in a function statement. Now you can connect it to events.
