Image button not showing up in frame

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Basically, when i step on the yellow brick, an image button shows up inside a scrolling frame. But when i step on it, it doesn’t appear. I set it to visible, so that is not the problem.


Here’s my script:

local buttom = script.ImageButton
local GetBlocks = game.Workspace.GetBlocks
local yeet = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.MainGui
local e = buttom:Clone()

local function steppedOn(part)
	local parent = part.Parent
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent)then
		buttom:Clone().Parent = yeet
	end
end

GetBlocks.Touched:Connect(steppedOn)

Im new to scripting

Parent it to your yeet variable and you will be fine.

i tried that and it still didnt work

Any changes you make to the StarterGui will only be present upon respawning.

Assuming this script is client-sided, just swap that out with the player’s PlayerGui instead.

Ex:

local yeet = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui")

It looks like you are handling this from the server meaning this sort of thing should be handled from the client. Any visual changes should be handled from the client because it makes the whole process a lot easier. Involving the server is pointless because it doesn’t increase security in anyway.

The reason why this isn’t working is because you aren’t actually parenting the ImageButton to the players Gui but instead to the StarterGui container. Each player gets their own container called PlayerGui that hold all their guis. This can be accessed by doing Player.PlayerGui.

To fix this you should run your code from the client and do all the necessary changes from there. It would also be better if you just made the ImageButton visible instead of cloning it every time. You can see an example of how this works below:

local Block = workspace.Part
local ImageButton = script.Parent.ImageButton

local function OnTouched()
	if not ImageButton.Visible then -- Checks if the ImageButton is visible
		ImageButton.Visible = true -- Makes the ImageButton visible.
	end
end

Block.Touched:Connect(OnTouched) -- Detects when the part is touched

Here is my best attempt at fixing your code:

local buttom = script.ImageButton
local GetBlocks = game.Workspace.GetBlocks
local e = buttom:Clone()

local function steppedOn(part)
	local parent = part.Parent
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent)
	local yeet = Player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.MainGui
	
	if Player then
		buttom:Clone().Parent = yeet
	end
end

GetBlocks.Touched:Connect(steppedOn)
