OneQuiz and TwoQuiz are not in PlayerGui

My bad, use WaitForChild

local button = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local QuizScreen1 = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("OneQuiz"):WaitForChild("QuizScreen1")
local QuizScreen2 = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("TwoQuiz"):WaitForChild("QuizScreen2")
local QuizScreens = {
	QuizScreen1,
	QuizScreen2
}
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("Clicked")
	button.Parent.Visible = false
	print("Main Menu Not There")
	task.wait()
	local quiz = QuizScreens[math.random(1, #QuizScreens)]
	task.wait()
	print("Randomized")
	quiz.Visible = true
	print("Visible")
end)

Maybe this?:


local button = script.Parent
local QuizScreensFolder = button.Parent.Parent.QuizScreens
local buttonParent = button.Parent.Parent

local QuizScreens = {}
for _, child in ipairs(QuizScreensFolder:GetChildren()) do
    if child:IsA("Frame") then
        table.insert(QuizScreens, child)
    end
end

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    buttonParent.Enabled = false

    for _, quizScreen in ipairs(QuizScreens) do
        quizScreen.Visible = false
    end

    local randomIndex = math.random(1, #QuizScreens)
    QuizScreens[randomIndex].Visible = true
end)

That is a good idea. Using a ScreenGui and storing frames in it, then using a script to loop through it id better than manually typing it out.

As a side note, math.random(1, 5), for example, is the same as math.random(5).

I was self-taught by youtube videos and ChatGPT, so apologies.

Its called “the more you know” :wink:

I didn’t know about it until much later on, either
