:FindFirstChild returns true even though there is nothing with that name

I have this script to check if the GUI is already open in the screen,

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupID) >= minRank then
		if not plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("GateScreensControl") then
			--Code
		end
	end
end)

It works the first time, but when I close the Gui (:Destroy()) and then re-run the script it no longer works. Any idea why?

I think you forgot to set it to false when the gui gets closed?

It’s FindFirstChild, if it’s not there then it shouldn’t return true

4

But if the gui dissapears you don’t move it across the game to workspace or so, you put it on invisible or disabled right? that’s why its still in findfirstchild

I use :Destroy()
On the explorer it doesn’t show

Try looking on server side instead of user side when testing and look if it’s in the explorer then.

It’s a script on the workspace

?? try testing and switch from client to server in the testing tab, then look if you can see the gui in explorer, probably you will
