Issue with click detector

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

So I have a click detector that makes you open up a gui when pressed. Once closed, you cannot open it. Why? (Ask for the script I am happy to send scripts, screenshots and maybe videos)

#2

The code would be helpful for figuring out the problem in this situation.

Can you send your code, we can not figure out the problem without it.

#5

Open script:



script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

player.PlayerGui.InfoBox.GoldInfo.Visible = true
end)

close script:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()

script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false

end)

#6

Is the open script a LocalScript or a ServerScript?

#7

Open is server and close is local

#8

It is because you close the UI on the Client and Open on the Server.

#9

Open should be a localscipt because it is modifying the client.

#10

Open cannot alter PlayerGui so do it on the client.

#11

Why does it work the first time but then you cant do it after?

#12

Again, you open the UI on the Server and close it on the Client.

#13

So I make both clients, will that work?

Now it does not open. So it is this script and it is local
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

player.PlayerGui.InfoBox.GoldInfo.Visible = true

end)

#15

Because it fires on another Client, use RemoteEvents.

#16

Maybe the problem is that you’re trying to add a ClickDetector into a GUI. All GuiButton’s have a built in clicked function, so if it was a TextButton, just do

TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

end)
#17 
local RemoteEvent = [Make a RemoteEvent and make a variable for it]

-- Local script
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

RemoteEvent:FireClient(player)
end)

-- Normal script
local RemoteEvent = [Make a RemoteEvent and make a variable for it]

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
if player.PlayerGui.InfoBox.GoldInfo.Visible == false then
player.PlayerGui.InfoBox.GoldInfo.Visible = true
else
player.PlayerGui.InfoBox.GoldInfo.Visible = false
end
end)```

The click detector is in a part.

#19

Also I never understand remote events even I have read them online so i cant do them

This is a great tutorial created by @Alvin_Blox that may help you understand:

#21

just to make it simple just use this code

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
    player.PlayerGui.InfoBox.GoldInfo.Visible = not player.PlayerGui.InfoBox.GoldInfo.Visible -- not visisble or visible
end)
