Opening Music UI is not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Greetings! So, my friend is scripting a game. He’s stuck on the part of the script where he was trying to get the script to open the music UI, but is stuck on what to do. He made it a LocalScript, which I’ll show a screenshot below, along with the code. So, what is exactly the problem with the code?

Outcome: He tried to open the UI but couldn’t.

Feedback will be great!

local StarterGui = game.StarterGui
local Menu = script.Parent.Background

local CloseButton = Menu.Frame.CloseButton
local MusicMenuButton = StarterGui.SideUI.MusicMenuButton

local MenuOpen = false

MusicMenuButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if MenuOpen == true then
        Menu.Visible = false
        MenuOpen = false
    else
        Menu.Visible = true
        MenuOpen = true
    end
end)

CloseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    MenuOpen = false
    Menu.Visible = true
end)

So, what you’re actually getting is the Server’s own GUI

Whenever you reference the StarterGui, the changes are actually being replicated across the server’s side, and not your client (Or what you currently see on your screen)

Think of the StarterGui as like a template for what’s gonna be cloned into every Player’s PlayerGui

Since what you’re using is a LocalScript, you could just simply reference the PlayerGui if you’re wanting to access other Gui's on the PlayerGui

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local MusicMenuButton = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("SideUI"):WaitForChild("MusicMenuButton")
local Menu = script.Parent.Background
local CloseButton = Menu.Frame.CloseButton
local MenuOpen = false

MusicMenuButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if MenuOpen == true then
		Menu.Visible = false
		MenuOpen = false
	else
		Menu.Visible = true
		MenuOpen = true
	end
end)

CloseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	MenuOpen = false
	Menu.Visible = true
end)

Instead of put MenuOpen == and that

Only put

Menu.Visible = not Menu.Visible

You dont need to check if is open or close with that.

For example

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    Menu.Visible = not Menu.Visible
end)

Sorry about doing this so late, but a while earlier, my friend tested out what you said, and told me that it worked. Thanks for your help!
