Gui only appears once

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make a simple gui menu. When a proximity prompt in a part is triggered, it shows the gui. This works. However, whenever I make the gui invisible, the proximity prompt script will not make it appear again. The code is so simple that I don’t know what to try.

script.parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	for _, button in ipairs(player.PlayerGui.Main.Shop:GetChildren()) do
		button.Visible=true
	end
end)

The code makes the gui visible only once, and never again after that.

Could there be something wrong with the script that makes GUI disappear? It could be a simple mistake like deleting the GUI or doing the wrong one.

“However, whenever I remove the gui”
is your local script a child of the gui? Cause if so, deleting the gui would mean you’d delete the script.
If not, you might be moving the localscript to a place where they cannot run, I’d recommend checking the devhub page on localscripts to see where they can run.

That is a typo. I’m gonna fix that. I’m simply making it invisible.

I’ve set the gui invisible without a script too, and it still doesn’t work.

#6

Try putting it in a localscript inside of StarterPlayer → StarterPlayerScripts, not sure if it’ll help, but it’s still worth a try.

The GUI is being set visible through a script in a part in workspace.

I know, but if I remember correctly, I fixed something similar through a localscript, and I suggested you to put it in StarterPlayerScripts because localscripts cannot run in the workspace.

That worked. I fired a RemoteEvent to the player in startercharacterscripts to show the gui. It now shows up after I close the gui and open it again. Thank you.

No problem, glad to be able to help.
