So I got a script that when a player joins the game it gets there friends and adds there username to a GUI button.

Script inside serverscriptservice

local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)

local event = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”):FindFirstChild(“FriendChange”)

local frame = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”):FindFirstChild(“FriendOption”)

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,userid)

local description = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(userid) 

player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):ApplyDescription(description)

end)

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

local friends = Players:GetFriendsAsync(player.UserId)

local function iterPageItems(pages) 
	return coroutine.wrap(function() 
		local pagenum = 1
		while true do
			for _, item in ipairs(pages:GetCurrentPage()) do
				coroutine.yield(item, pagenum)
			end
			if pages.IsFinished then
				break
			end
			pages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
			pagenum = pagenum + 1
		end
	end)
end

local usernames = {}
local userids = {}
local isonline = {}
for item, pageNo in iterPageItems(friends) do
	table.insert(usernames, item.Username)
	table.insert(userids,item.Id) 
	table.insert(isonline,item.IsOnline) 
end

for i=1,#usernames do
	
	local clone = frame:Clone() 
	
	clone.Username.Text = usernames[i] 
	
	if isonline[i] then
	
		clone.Status.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 49, 0) 
		
	else
		
		clone.Status.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(44,44,44) 
		
	end
	
	local thumbnail, isready = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userids[i],Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot,Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size48x48)
	
	clone.Icon.Image = thumbnail 
	
	clone.Username:SetAttribute("UserId",userids[i])
	
	clone.Parent = player.PlayerGui.FriendMorphGUI.FriendMorph 
	
	print(usernames[i].." is ready")
	
end

end)

If you could help me fix this then many thanks.

Could you send me a video of what you mean by the buttons don’t show up all the time? Also as for disappearing on respawn, try testing with ResetOnSpawn turned on and off for the ScreenGui and/or Frames and/or buttons

#5

There might be two problems that I can think of so far:

  1. The buttons disappear because ResetOnSpawn is either turned off or on for the buttons in ServerStorage.

  2. ScreenGui may not be a child of Player.PlayerGui because it has not been added yet. In this case, you would need to add a wait() before you set the clone parent to the player. This would cause the buttons to not appear when you first join.

Btw, could you send any errors you receive in the output when this happens (if there is any)

#6

I tried this and it worked thank you so much.

Ill tell you if it happens again in the future.
