Hey everyone, so I am finishing up on my game right now. Just need to add a few finishing touches(It’s an obby) I wanted to add a button where if the person click on it, the GUI/UI visible will be false and they can’t see it. It seems to not work, I can’t find any type of error in my output. Here is my script.

local coil = game.StarterGui.CoilGamepass.Gamepass
local SkipStage = game.StarterGui.SkipStageGamepass.Gamepass
local MuteButton = game.StarterGui.MuteButton.Mute1

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if coil.Visible == true and SkipStage.Visible == true and MuteButton.Visible == true then
		coil.Visible = false
		SkipStage.Visible = false
		MuteButton.Visible = false
	else
		coil.Visible = true
		SkipStage.Visible = true
		MuteButton.Visible = true
	end
end)

If anyone knows how to fix this, please leave a comment :)))

  1. What script is this code in?
  2. Change StarterGui to PlayerGui.

It’s in a local script in starterGui

I am guessing this script is located in a Button.

Your script does work, but the thing is: you are modifying the UI in game.StarterGui instead of PlayerGui. When a new Character instance is created, it will take the UI from game.StarterGui and copy it to game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.

Along with those errors, the code under script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() can be simplified to a simple thing.Visible = not thing.Visible.

local coil = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CoilGamepass.Gamepass
local SkipStage = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.SkipStageGamepass.Gamepass
local MuteButton = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.MuteButton.Mute1

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		coil.Visible = not coil.Visible
		SkipStage.Visible = not SkipStage.Visible
		MuteButton.Visible = not MuteButton.Visible
	end
end)

Thank you, it worked :))) Have a good day!

You are trying to change a value from a button in StarterGUI.
Let me first explain what’s StarterGUI.

When a player joins the game, the game will automatically copy the guis in the StarterGUI to the player’s PlayerGUI.
Now, you have 2 choices here. You can basically put this local script in StarterPack(same as the StarterGUI but it copies everything in the StarterPack to the player’s Backpack.), or you can put this local script inside the button.

I’m going to show you an example of the StarterPack script.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Button = player.PlayerGui.Button
local coil = player.PlayerGui.CoilGamepass.Gamepass
local SkipStage = player.PlayerGui.SkipStageGamepass.Gamepass
local MuteButton = player.PlayerGui.MuteButton.Mute1

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    If coil.Visible == true and SkipStage.Visible == true and MuteButton.Visible == true then
	   coil.Visible = false
	   SkipStage.Visible = false
	   MuteButton.Visible = false
   else
	   coil.Visible = true
	   SkipStage.Visible = true
	   MuteButton.Visible = true
   end
end)

you can both put this inside the button and the starterpack.
