GUI doesn't appear when it should

Cypacic · April 29, 2021, 5:51am

Continuing the discussion from GUI not appear as expected:

So I’ve written a script where a Frame will appear after clicking a button but it doesn’t,I have three different scripts but most of them are the same so here’s one of them.
I tried to change the script until it worked,now the original frame WILL disappear but the target frame won’t appear.
The other two frames are not visible fyi.
FYI again,the original frame is activated from a prompt

local AvaFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Avatar

local Button = script.Parent.Exit

local Avatar = AvaFrame.AvatarItems

local Pass = AvaFrame.Gamepasses

local IG = AvaFrame.InGame

local PassFrame = AvaFrame.Parent.Gamepass

local IGF = AvaFrame.Parent.InGame

Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if IGF.Visible then

IGF.Visible = false

end

end)

Avatar.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if IGF.Visible then

IGF.Visible = false

end

end)

Avatar.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if AvaFrame.Visible then

AvaFrame.Visible = true

end

end)

Pass.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if PassFrame.Visible then

PassFrame.Visible = true

end

end)

Pass.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if IGF.Visible then

IGF.Visible = false

end

end)

Can you send a picture of the Explorer?
Or try to be more specific about which frame is the “original frame” and what is the “target frame”.
And if you get any errors in the output send a picture or just copy + paste them.

No errors,So there are three frames in a GUI,Frame 1,Frame 2 and Frame 3
There’s now a button in frame 1 which should activate frame 2 (Button-IG,Frame 2-IGF)
Frame 1 also has another button to activate frame 3 (Button-Pass,Frame 3-PassFrame)

now when I press either of them, the GUI disappears but none of the 'targeted ’ frames (frame 2/3) appears]

hope that explains it

How is it suppose to know if IGF,AvaFrame,PassFrame.Visible is set to true or false?

Guess IGF can’t become visible if it’s always set to false, am I right?
Unless you have another script that makes it visible again.

Here try this script, it might work.

---Variables
local AvaFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Avatar
local Button = script.Parent.Exit
local Avatar = AvaFrame.AvatarItems
local Pass = AvaFrame.Gamepasses
local IG = AvaFrame.InGame
local PassFrame = AvaFrame.Parent.Gamepass
local IGF = AvaFrame.Parent.InGame
--Functions
Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if IGF.Visible == true then
   IGF.Visible = false
        else if IGF.Visible == false then
               IGF.Visible = true
             end
       end
end)
--Fucntion 2
Avatar.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if IGF.Visible == true then
   IGF.Visible = false
        else if IGF.Visible == false then
               IGF.Visible = true
             end
       end
end)
--Fucntion 3
Avatar.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if AvaFrame.Visible == true then
   AvaFrame.Visible = false
        else if AvaFrame.Visible == false then
               AvaFrame.Visible = true
             end
       end
end)
--Fucntion 4
Pass.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if PassFrame.Visible == true then
   PassFrame.Visible = false
        else if PassFrame.Visible == false then
               PassFrame.Visible = true
             end
       end
end)

--Fucntion 5
Pass.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if IGF.Visible == true then
   IGF.Visible = false
        else if IGF.Visible == false then
               IGF.Visible = true
             end
       end
end)

I am not that good at scripting so the script might not work that well.
Feel free to edit it so it suits your style or fix your problem.

I’ve thought about this but it would cause a problem…
Brb lemme try it with my own script

Edit:
Mine should look like this

Toggle.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if Off.Visible == true then
		Off.Visible = false
	else
		Off.Visible = true
	end
end)

It does detect that actually. The GuiBase.Visible Returns either true or false, and what you are checking is basically if true == true then which is not wrong in any way, but not necessary at all.

No, setting a value once in a script doesn’t mean it would “always” be false. However, in @OP’s post, he hides the frame only when it is false.

Here, you have stacked two if commands, which was not really necessary and increases cluster, which could easily have been solved by using elseif.

Hello. Kindly send over a picture of your explorer. This is really confusing.

Can you specify which frame need to be able to do that?

Anurag_UdayS · April 29, 2021, 6:45am

Cypacic:

Avatar.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if AvaFrame.Visible then

AvaFrame.Visible = true

end

end)

Pass.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if PassFrame.Visible then

PassFrame.Visible = true

end

end)

This part essentially does nothing, as it shows the frame when it is already showing. I’m really confused about what you are trying to do… can you send a picture of the explorer and the GUI you are trying to handle?

Cypacic · April 29, 2021, 6:47am

somethings working right now please wait for a sec

Cypacic · April 29, 2021, 6:58am

It got fixed! Here’s the correct script.

local AvaFrame = script.Parent

local Button = script.Parent.Exit

local Avatar = AvaFrame.AvatarItems

local Pass = AvaFrame.Gamepasses

local IG = AvaFrame.InGame

local PassFrame = AvaFrame.Parent.Gamepass

local IGF = AvaFrame.Parent.InGame

Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if AvaFrame.Visible == false then

AvaFrame.Visible = true

else

AvaFrame.Visible = false

end

end)

Pass.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if PassFrame.Visible == true then

PassFrame.Visible = false

else

PassFrame.Visible = true

end

end)

Pass.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if AvaFrame.Visible == false then

AvaFrame.Visible = true

else

AvaFrame.Visible = false

end

end)

IG.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if AvaFrame.Visible == false then

AvaFrame.Visible = true

else

AvaFrame.Visible = false

end

end)

IG.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

if IGF.Visible == true then

IGF.Visible = false

else

IGF.Visible = true

end

end)

Basically,I duplicated the scripts to three different GUIs and fixed some script errors but not the locals one.
What happened is that I forgot the locals back to its own GUI.
I might be having problems with explaining so here’s the difference.

Now:

local AvaFrame = script.Parent

    local Button = script.Parent.Exit

    local Avatar =scipt.Parent.AvatarItems

    local Pass = script.ParentGamepasses

    local IG =script.Parent.InGame

    local PassFrame = AvaFrame.Parent.Gamepass

    local IGF = AvaFrame.Parent.InGame

Before:

local AvaFrame = script.Parent

local Button = script.Parent.Exit

local Avatar = AvaFrame.AvatarItems

local Pass = AvaFrame.Gamepasses

local IG = AvaFrame.InGame

local PassFrame = AvaFrame.Parent.Gamepass

local IGF = AvaFrame.Parent.InGame

Now look back at my scripts,found the error?

Edit:how do I make the coding look coloured like studio lol,I want to know pls help
