Hey everyone,
There is a gui that can’t be edited or deleted unless you’re in testing mode (play). Does anyone know specifically on how to get rid of it? The GUI’s parent is ‘PlayerGui’.

can you take a screenshot? What is it called? Could be because of one of your plugin

If you mean that the GUI can’t be accessed through the explorer during editing, then it’s definitely created by a script. Therefore to modify that GUI you need to write code yourself, either by editing the script that creates it or by detecting it and then modifying it with another script.

To add to what @0msh and @NyrionDev have said, i believe only a local script can accomplish this, so you really only need to search these places for the code running it:
Even the plugin will have to inject its code into one of these parents.

In studio testing:
The text:
(I wanna remove it because About_Dev isn’t my username anymore, and I’m remaking this game into another)
That’s my issue, I didn’t write the script. Someone else who helped program the game did. So I’m kinda lost there.
Can you send the script? It would help if we could see the script.
It looks like you can just go into the text label, scroll through the properties until you get to the text property and just adjust the sentence the way you want.
If you just dont want the text at all then delete the text label.
maybe try to find the script somewhere and edit/delete it
Yeah, i’ve tried that and it wouldn’t work. I’d delete it, but it’d come back as soon as I exit testing and go back in it yknow.
There’s no script attached to it in studio. Nor while play testing it… it’s parent is ‘PlayerGUI’.
The script could be in any of the locations that @RMofSBI said. Most likely, it will be in starter player scripts, which is a folder in starter player.
Just checked about every script that could potentially be with the gui script, but none are related to the gui. At this point, I might as well keep it there.
What you mean when you exit testing? You should be deleting in when you arent testing, because if you delete it during play test it will revert back as soon as you stop play testing.
The script’s parent is playerGUI?
FIXED. I found the script after scrolling through serverscriptservice. I had a skip script, and he managed to add the text through that script. I’ll send the script.

return table```So the code was hidden in another script?
Yes. Now I have no idea how to remove the text without removing the skip script.
Reply to @RMofSBI - Yeah exactly, there’s no sign of the gui while i’m NOT in testing. When i AM in play testing, it’s there but won’t let me edit it. However, i have found the script that it was put it (maybe), but i have no idea on how to delete it but keep the skip thing working.
