GUI not popping up on the first try with events sent

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I want my GUI to pop up when I interact with the Proximity Script.
My GUI is not popping up on the first try when interacting with the proximity script. After multiple tries it will pop up though. Its sending the event, and its being received, but it won’t open the GUI. I couldn’t find anything on this online, so I am asking here.

this is the recieve event to open the gui



game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() 
	local Frame = script.Parent

	Frame.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5)
	Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -1, 0)
	Frame.Visible = not Frame.Visible
	wait(0.1)
	
	Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0))
	print('recieved')
end)

This is the code to send the event after the proximity prompt is triggered

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local proximity = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt



script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:connect(function(plr)
	print('fired')
	Event:FireClient(plr)
end)

Are you receiving any errors in the output? I honestly don’t see any problem with the code you have provided, maybe the ScreenGui that the Frame is in could be disabled?

Try using this code for your local script:

local Frame = script.Parent

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() 
	Frame.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5)
	Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -1, 0)

	if Frame.Visible then
		Frame.Visible = false
	else
		Frame.Visible = true
	end

	task.wait(0.1)
	
	Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0))
	print('recieved')
end)

And try using this code for your server script:

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local proximity = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt



script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
	print('fired')
	if plr then
		Event:FireClient(plr)
	end
end)

proximity and gui should both be local? i dont see a point in an event?
also u should use playergui

Try :

local function openGui()
	local Frame = script.Parent

	Frame.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5)
	Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -1, 0)
	Frame.Visible = not Frame.Visible
	wait(0.1)
	
	Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0))
end
event.OnClientEvent:Connect(openGui)

I just tried this, and it didn’t fix my problem. It still makes me click it multiple times before opening.

Update: Another script was interfering with the script, so it was closing. My fault here.
