"Gui is not a valid member of PlayerGui "Players.kdopdaux1803.PlayerGui""

[kdopdaux1803 (Cyril)]

Hello guys, I have another issue, while doing the update from Button Simulator (As you know, my game.).

This time it’s literally super weird that’s not a valid member.

Even though it says that it’s a , it’s still throwing me an error:

LocalScript inside of the Menu and inside of the MenuFrame:

local Players = game.Players
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player.PlayerGui
local Gui = PlayerGui.Gui
local ScreenGui:ScreenGui = PlayerGui.ScreenGui

script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true

if script.Parent.Parent.Enabled == false then
	ScreenGui.Enabled = true
	Gui.Enabled = true
else
	ScreenGui.Enabled = false
	Gui.Enabled = false
end

I tried everything, changing the script, making :ScreenGui on it adding locals, and no, it didn’t worked.

(Yes I’m sorry to say, even though the topic is closed and been solved and saying it very lately.) I do not want to put :WaitForChild, once I’ve put that, it seems like it worked perfectly fine.

So yeah guys any help is appreciated.

Maybe try :WaitForChild, to ensure the ui exists.

[luvreiiko (Walker)]

local Gui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Gui")
local ScreenGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")

If it doesn’t already exist then there’s probably an error somewhere else
Also your error was on line 4, meaning it never reached the ScreenGui.

As @GuySalami mentioned, try WaitForChild() instead of just dots. If you dont know, WaitForChild() yields the script until it founds needed instance

[ThunderDEV01 (ThunderDEV)]

WaitForChild() you should try that, try doing the part in line 4 like that.

Can we have a picture of what’s inside the GUI in the explorer?

[kdopdaux1803 (Cyril)]

@ThunderDEV01, @CoffeeEnjoyerr, @GuySalami, @luvreiiko, I don’t want to put :WaitForChild, because it’ll be too easy, I want to make a script, without the :WaitForChild but still works.

@bigfart_mp4, Sure here it is, also, it’s not on the StarterGui:

[AqquaDev]

it’s because the script is running before the game is loaded.

[Amblefell (当来自阿莫古斯的冒名顶替者是巴个非常可疑)]

local Players = game.Players
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player.PlayerGui
wait(0.1)
local Gui = PlayerGui.Gui
local ScreenGui:ScreenGui = PlayerGui.ScreenGui

script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true

if script.Parent.Parent.Enabled == false then
ScreenGui.Enabled = true
Gui.Enabled = true
else
ScreenGui.Enabled = false
Gui.Enabled = false
end

[DevCafe_Protector (PoweringCode)]

local Players = game.Players
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player.WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local Gui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Gui")
local ScreenGui:ScreenGui = PlayerGui.ScreenGui

script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true

if script.Parent.Parent.Enabled == false then
	ScreenGui.Enabled = true
	Gui.Enabled = true
else
	ScreenGui.Enabled = false
	Gui.Enabled = false
end

I’m not sure that this script will work, but I at least suggest you to try it out at least once.

[CoffeeEnjoyerr]

then try to add game.Loaded:Wait() somewhere at the start of the script. It will yield the script until the game is fully loaded

I don’t want to put :WaitForChild , because it’ll be too easy, I want to make a script, without the :WaitForChild but still works.

I’m sorry, what do you mean by, too easy?

[luvreiiko (Walker)]

Isn’t making it easy kind of the point…?
There’s not really a reason to make it more complicated than it should be, :WaitForChild is completely fine to use even for people that have coded for years.

@GuySalami

what do you mean by, too easy ?

Too easy to fix.

This text will be blurred

[kdopdaux1803 (Cyril)]

Thanks, this helped me, adding a little wait worked.

[GuySalami]

I know you found a solution, but what do you mean by:

@kdopdaux1803

Too easy to fix.

[kdopdaux1803 (Cyril)]

@GuySalami

but what do you mean by:

@kdopdaux1803

Too easy to fix.

Too easy to fix the issue that I had.

Edit: The issue is fixed.
