GUI only enables once

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Basically, I have this GUI that opens when you use a command. When you press the close button, it works fine. But when you try opening it again, it doesn’t work.

Code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		if msg == openCommand then
			if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupID) >= minRank then
				plr.PlayerGui.adminPanel.Enabled = true
			end
		end
	end)
end)
#2

This code looks OK, could you show the close button’s code?

#3 
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
end)
#4

Is this indexing the right Gui? you might be disabling the parent of the adminpanel Gui.

#5

Yeah, I just checked and it is right.

#6

Try this out.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local adminPanel = plr.PlayerGui.adminPanel
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		if msg == openCommand then
			if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupID) >= minRank then
                if not adminPanel.Enabled then 
                    adminPanel.Enabled = true 
                end 
			end
		end
        if msg:lower() == "close" then 
			if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupID) >= minRank then
				adminPanel.Enabled = not adminPanel.Enabled
			end
        end 
	end)
end)

Yeah, but I would not like a command to close it.

#8

The problem is that you’re opening it on a server script and closing it on a local script. To keep a good practice, ALL gui handling should be handled on local scripts as much as possible.

#9

Bro wants him to handle admin commands on the client :skull:

#10

What’s wrong with handling GUI on server scripts? It still works.

#11

We are going off topic, I am asking how do I fix the issue of it only opening once.

#12

Just put the mousebuttonevent in the playeradded with the code i did.

#13

Why are you using Enabled anyway? Chances are, there is a single frame with the GUI in it. Why not change Frame.Visible?

#14

Theres nothing wrong with what he is doing. Same result.

#15

Well, my GUI does not have a single frame, so…

#16

Just take the code from mine and put it inside of the playeradded event inside of a mousebutton1down event.

#17

I will just try firing the client on a remote event, I’ll see if that works. Since the other guy said it messes things up if one is on the server and one is on the local.

#18

You can just handle it all on the server. Either handle it all on the client or handle it all on the server.

#19

Paste this in your close button script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local closeBtn = script.Parent

local openCommand = "CHANGE ME"
local groupID = 1234567890 --change to group id
local minRank = 123 --change to min rank

player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
    if msg == openCommand then
        if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupID) >= minRank then
            player.PlayerGui.adminPanel.Enabled = true
        end
    end
end)

closeBtn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    player.PlayerGui.adminPanel.Enabled = false
end)

As far as I can remember when we disable Enabled scripts don’t run. That’s why I said that. If that’s the case, could that be the problem?
