Umm. You are trying to click a screenGui and MouseButton1Click is not a function of it…

It’s not a screengui. It’s a imagebutton.

If you notice the docs: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/GuiButton

You will see that there is an event of MouseButton1Click.

But the ScreenGui and LayerCollector classes don’t:
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/LayerCollector
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/ScreenGui

If your Gui has a button then listen to it from that.

I recommend you use the Activated event instead: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/GuiButton/Activated

it generally works a bit better and it lets you know what input was used (i.e click, tap)

Hmmm why’s the ClassName ScreenGui then… ._.

I don’t know. The only screengui is my UI which I am aware doesn’t use MouseButton1Click.

Hi! I think you should consider reviewing DarkMode function. The output says the error is there :thinking:

Just use the stack trace to traceback your code

@sjr04 has correctly answered your question. As the error states, MouseButton1Click is not a valid member of ScreenGui. Could you please share line 38 and the surrounding lines with us?

Don’t worry, I just missed something in the function. I had another mousebutton1click function inside the function.
