Issue with surface gui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make it so this GUI button (child of a surface GUI) is able to be clicked, however my script works but I noticed that I can only click the button from a very specific camera angle. image
Any other position like looking at it this way does nothing.

I’ve tried adjusting all kinds of properties and referred to a dev forum post with a similar problem but their solve doesn’t fix mine.

Here’s the structure if it helps:

You’ve parented the script (I assume which handles mouse clicks) to a TextLabel instance not a TextButton instance.

#3

its not the “!!” the script is in starterplayerscripts, could you explain what you mean by this

#4

I just saw that the TextLabel instance had an option to be expanded, I assumed you had placed the script there. Could you share the contents of the script here?

#5

No thats not where the script is, theres no script being placed inside of it.

#6

Copy and paste the contents of the script here so we can see how it co-operates with the user interface.

				for ci , cv in pairs(v2) do
					
					local c = cm.UIHOLDER.ui.ScrollingFrame.storage.LI:Clone()
					
					c.Visible = true
					
					c.Text = ci
					
					c.Parent = cm.UIHOLDER.ui.ScrollingFrame
					
					
					--create click
					
					c.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
						
						--Load Item
						
						print("Clicked")
						
						local model = Instance.new("Model", cm.placement.parts)
						
						model.Name = ci
						
						for ii, vv in pairs(v2[model.Name]["instance"]) do
							
							print( type(vv))
							
							local ccc = vv
							
							ccc.Parent = model
							
						end
						
						model:MoveTo(cm.placement.Position)
						
						
					end)

Can you include the declarations of the variables named “v2” and “cm” for context?

v2 is a table containing instances of a tool, it doesnt have anything to do with the gui part of this.

cm is CraftingModel, the model in the worksapce that holds the gui

local cm = workspace.CraftingModel

local cs = workspace.CraftingSys
#10

Did you try to use a click detector?

#11

have you tried elevating the part in which the surface gui is on, there could be some sort of invisible part blocking clicking

#12

yeah that’s what it is. not sure what else could be the problem.

#13

Yup I did, I mentioned that I read this off of another dev forum post with this issue. That didn’t work.
