Help with confirmation gui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make my own inventory system I want to have a gui that pops up when you try to use an item asking if you want to use the item. The problem is that I have the creation of the gui in a function and when you press the confirm or deny button on the frame it is suppose to return true or false but it always returns nil as soon as the frame is created rather than waiting for the buttons to be pressed.

Confirmation gui creation:

local function UseConfirmation(Item)
	local newConfirmFrame = script.Parent.ConfirmUse:Clone()
	newConfirmFrame.TextLabel.Text = "Are you sure you want to use "..Item.Name.."?"
	
	newConfirmFrame.ConfirmButton.Activated:Connect(function()
		newConfirmFrame:Destroy()
		return true
	end)
	newConfirmFrame.DeclineButton.Activated:Connect(function()
		newConfirmFrame:Destroy()
		return false
	end)
	
	newConfirmFrame.Visible = true
	newConfirmFrame.Parent = script.Parent
end

You press the use button on the item and then it fires the function, this is where it returns nil:

ItemFrame.UseButton.Activated:Connect(function()
		print("player using "..Item.Name)
		local confirm = UseConfirmation(Item)
		print(confirm)
		if confirm then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.UseItem:InvokeServer(Item.Name)
		end
		
	end)

Any help would be appreciated!
