script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false is hiding BUTTON

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

In my button script, I have

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false

and its hiding the BUTTON, not the ScreenGui

Full script:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent:WaitForChild('haveToBuy').Value == true then return
	else
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Tool:FireServer(script.Parent.Parent.Number.Value)
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
	end
end)

If the button is a child of the ScreenGui, maybe you are accidentally calling it. Try adding another .Parent

Show us your explorer, we can’t help you if you haven’t provided any information.

Its in 2 frames and 1 ScreenGui

#5

Are you sure you parented your other GUI elements to the same ScreenGui object? The button itself doesn’t have a property called “Enabled”, so it should really be printing out an error if you are referencing the wrong object. Any console output?

It has to be disabling the ScreenGui because buttons don’t have an Enabled property.

This is a little vague, can you maybe do something like this:

ScreenGui
   Frame
     Frame
        -- and so on

And no errors or warnings that’s what’s so weird.

The script is correct, did you check what the ScreenGui’s Enabled property is in the explorer during a play test?

Check it in PlayerGui

Players 
   [Your Name]
      PlayerGui
          ScreenGui

Just to make this easier for us, could you send a place file?

Please provide a place file or at least show us a screenshot of your UI.

I figured it out, it is a copy of another gui that was under it and it hid it but showed the one with the button no visible
