FindFirstChild Not Working?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I am trying to find a screen gui in my game but the FindFirstChild Check is not working…

while true do
	wait(0.5)
local FFC = game:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui")
if FCC then print("Gui")
	local er = pcall(FFC) -- Ignore this
	if er then game.Players.LocalPlayer:Kick() -- and this
	end
	end
end

I know it uses a bad syntax with while true do and stuff but it’s just a work in progress, help would be appreciated. Thanks.

you need to have the player gui

local FFC = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui")
if not FFC then print("There isn't a gui here")
	game.Players.LocalPlayer:Kick()
end

since there is no ScreenGui directly parented to the game object, then FindFirstChild will return nil

Yeah but I want it to search the whole game. It was working a couple days ago I don’t know what happend.

searching the entire game is kind of slow but you could do it with this function

function FindFirstDescendant(Instance, name)
	for i,v in pairs(Instance:GetDescendants()) do
		if v.Name == name then return v end
	end
end

local Desc = FindFirstDescendant(game, "ScreenGui")

I can’t because it doesn’t run at a high enough security level:

Didn’t work either… It just does nothing

do game:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui", true)

keep in mind this will return the first ScreenGui, and this is also really slow
