Issue with shop system open and close, not sure why it isnt working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My shop system is a gui that pops up when you talk to an npc. It works when it is first activated, but when I exit the shop and the gui disappear, I cant re enable the gui. Sorry if this is confusing. But anyways the scripts:

Local script in starterplayerscripts

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyGuns



	workspace.Rob.Head.Dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(player,choice)
		if choice.Name == "Yep!" then
			event:FireServer(player)
			print("local worked")

		end

	end)

The server script that receives the remote event located in the npc you talk to:

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyGuns


function onEvent(player)
	print("server worked")
	local gui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ShopSystem")
	gui.GunShopCam.Disabled = false
	wait(.5)
	gui.Enabled = true
end

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(onEvent)

So it works the first time, but when I try to re enter the shop the gui doesn’t pop up.

no need to provide the player in here. It automatically does it for you.

also,
instead of wait , use task.wait

Yeah, I believe this is the issue too.

@drilinz I did what you said but it didn’t work. I remember I put player there because it was erroring, but then I changed stuff around and I just forgot to take that part out.

#5

Did this print out when tested?

#6

Yes it prints the first time, and also the second time.

Any idea on what is wrong?

#7

Do you close the GUI the same way you open it?
(ShopSystem.Enabled)

#8

No I have a text button that disables the gui

local replicated = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = replicated:WaitForChild("BuyGuns")

workspace.Rob.Head.Dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(player,choice)
	if choice.Name == "Yep!" then
		event:FireServer()
		print("local worked")
	end
end)

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyGuns


function onEvent(player)
	print("server worked")
	local gui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ShopSystem")
    if gui then
       print("gui found") -- prints?
       gui.Enabled = false
	   task.wait(0.5)
	   gui.Enabled = true
    end
end

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(onEvent)

Try this

I had to change the script around a bit to get it to work, but overall it works properly! Thanks!
