Hello, I am new to roblox scripting and I need help.

local Gui2 = script.Parent.Parent.Value.Value

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function (player)
print(“worked”)
if player.PlayerGui.Gui2.Enabled == true then
player.PlayerGui.Gui2.Enabled = false
else
player.PlayerGui.Gui2.Enabled = true
end

end)

In the code above, I am trying to make it so I can type a name into the Intvalue, so I dont have to type Gui and then the number everytime. Whats happening is I dont know how to implement the variable above into the line of code. Im not sure if that makes since, but if anyone can help it would make my day.

OH, i think i got what you mean?

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function (player)
    print(“worked”)
    local Gui2 = player.PlayerGui.Gui2

    if Gui2.Enabled == true then
        Gui2.Enabled = false
    else
        Gui2.Enabled = true
    end

end)

this is how we use local

or you need like search for gui that named same as the value?
if so, then

local Guiname = script.Parent.Parent.Value.Value

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function (player)
	print("worked")
	local v = player.PlayerGui[Guiname] -- this
	if v.Enabled == true then
		v.Enabled = false
	else
		v.Enabled = true
	end

end)

local Guiname = script.Parent.Parent.Value.Value

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function (player)
	print("worked")
	local v = player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild(Guiname) -- this
    if v then -- if exist
	    if v.Enabled == true then
		   v.Enabled = false
	    else
		   v.Enabled = true
	    end
    end
end)

to evade errors, use this

Yes it actually worked, thank you! Before I was trying to use " … " instead of braces, and I couldnt figure out what was happening.
