That means playerGUI does not exist. To fix it you can add a :WaitForChild("PlayerGui") when using playergui.

Also if you wont mind can you give us the entire code your using? So we can understand what your trying to really achieve here.

#22

nevermind it works!! thanks you very much.

#23

No Problem! Glad I was able to help you.

Oh i have another problem if you dont mind, here is the local script :

game.ReplicatedStorage.events.guistopngo.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	print("ehe")
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.Enabled = true
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.smily.woosh:Play()
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.smily.appear:Play()
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.smily.Position = UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0)
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.smily:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 3)
	wait(1)
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.smily.ViewportFrame.smily.laugh:FireServer()
	wait(4)
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.smily:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 4)
	wait(4)
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.Enabled = false
end)

the tween doesnt play and i cant see the frame.

#25

May I ask where the local script is?

#26

the script is located in starter gui

#27

To be exact where? Is it possible to put it in the “rules” screengui?

#28

hmm sure i’ll try it! thanks for the tip

#29

no it still doesnt tween it, maybe its linked to

plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.smily:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 3)
#30

No problem and after that:

local rules = script.Parent -- Assuming the script is parented to the screengui
game.ReplicatedStorage.events.guistopngo.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	print("ehe")
	rules.Enabled = true
	rules.smily.woosh:Play()
	rules.smily.appear:Play()
	rules.smily.Position = UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0)
	rules.smily:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0), "Out", "Quad", 3)
	wait(1)
	rules.smily.ViewportFrame.smily.laugh:FireServer()
	wait(4)
	rules.smily:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0), "Out", "Quad", 4)
	wait(4)
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").rules.Enabled = false
end)

Also the twween is not playing because…

rules.smily:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0), "Out", "Quad", 4)

…and this…

rules.smily.Position = UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0)
rules.smily:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.349, 0,0.158, 0), "Out", "Quad", 3)

…are the same and therefore no use, and also your setting the position to the same as the position in the tween therefore its not tweening.
