What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
Hello,
im kinda new to this thing so ill try to be as helpful as possible
basically, I have a backpack/hotbar system that will exclusively work in studio, breaking randomly in the Roblox Player App. -
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
I have designed a custom backpack system, similar to Fisch or Jailbreak, however the Roblox Player seems to just not like it, as certain items will just not appear in the gui (Studio works completely fine) -
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
lots, really just looking up forum posts similar to the one I am writing.
The hierarchy of the GUI:
studio screenshot of gui (what it should look like):
player screenshot 1(what I want to happen)
player screenshot 2(what usually happens)
