Im making a restaurant menu tool and it has 2 pages that has a nextpage button. The problem is that when i equip a tool the tool dissapears, how to refer to the tool? This is my script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

    script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    	player.Backpack.Menu.Menu1.Visible = true
    	player.Backpack.Menu.Menu2.Visible = false
    	player.Backpack.Menu.Visible = false
    	player.Backpack.Menu.leftPage.Visible = true
    end)

Dont go to the player if it is equipped. The tool will be in the players character

actually you dont have to manually enable visible you can simply do that

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	player.Backpack.Menu.Enabled = true --- will enabled the GUI it should be Disabled first and everything in the GUI frame should be visbible = true then u can enable the Menu
	
end)

player.Character.Menu

(assuming your Tool is named “Menu”)

You can just store the tool in a variable so you don’t have to access it everytime

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local menu = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:WaitForChild("Menu")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    menu.Enabled = false -- idea from @MrchipsMa
end)

Or you can use :FindFirstChild() to find the tool whether it’s in the backpack or the character.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local menu = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Menu") or player.Character.Menu
    menu.Enabled = false
end)
