Seats doesnt turn invisible

[Ariel_KO (Ariel)]

im making settings for my game, one of the settings is showing/ not showing seats across the map. the text changes accordingly to the script but the seats transparency doesnt change at all

how do i get this to work?

the script of the gui button:

local button = script.Parent
local originalText = "Shown"
local seats = workspace.SeatsFolder:GetChildren()


button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if button.Text == originalText then
		button.Text = "Hidden"
		for i = 1, #seats do
			if seats[i]:IsA("Seat") then
				seats[i].Transparency = 1
			end
		end
	else
		button.Text = originalText
		for i = 1, #seats do
			if seats[i]:IsA("Seat") then
				seats[i].Transparency = 0
			end
		end
	end
end)

Seemed to work for me… Are you using Seat objects, or are the they just called Seat. IsA(“Seat”) would be looking for Seat objects rather than something named Seat

I’m using Seat objects, each Seat object is called seat if that makes any difference

I’m so confused why this isnt working

Have you tried debugging by the use of printing through the console to figure out where the script goes wrong? This can then help you to figure out what could possibly be causing the issue for you.

Its a loading issue, the seats folder is returning an empty array because no children actually exist when it goes to get them, Try using this

local seatsFolder = workspace:WaitForChild("SeatsFolder") -- Wait for folder to load
local Oneseats = seatsFolder:WaitForChild("Seat") -- Wait for children to load
local seats = seatsFolder:GetChildren()

Here is also the same script before with debugging print statments

local button = script.Parent
local originalText = "Shown"
local originalText = "Shown"
local seats = workspace.SeatsFolder:GetChildren()
print(seats)

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	if button.Text == originalText then
		print("Passed, changing seats to transparent")
		button.Text = "Hidden"
		for i = 1, #seats do
		print("Run: " .. i)
			if seats[i]:IsA("Seat") then
				print("Is a seat!")
				seats[i].Transparency = 1
			end
		end
	else
		print("Failed to pass, changing seats to be visible")
		button.Text = originalText
		for i = 1, #seats do
			print("Run: " .. i)
			if seats[i]:IsA("Seat") then
				print("Is a seat!")
				seats[i].Transparency = 0
			end
		end
	end
	
end)

Though actually depending on the lag, this is probably a better approach:

local seatsFolder = workspace:WaitForChild("SeatsFolder")

repeat
	task.wait()
until #seatsFolder:GetChildren() > 0 -- Change this to a number closer to actualy how many seats you have

local seats = seatsFolder:GetChildren()
