Setting a value to false sets it to true for some reason?

I have this function:

function Camera2.ToggleGrain(Status)
	TvGrain.Visible = Status
end

And I am calling it like this:

CameraModule2:ToggleGrain(false)

The TvGrain is invisible:

But for some reason it makes it visible:

I don’t know why.

Because value:method() is the same as value.method(value), and CameraModule2 evaulates to true.

Why are you using : as you don’t need to pass CameraModule2 as an argument?

Thanks it works but what do you mean by:

When you use:

CameraModule2:ToggleGrain(false)

You are passing self as a parameter, which means:

CameraModule2.ToggleGrain(CameraModule2, false)

Therefore you should make the function like so:

function Camera2.ToggleGrain(self, Status)
	TvGrain.Visible = Status
end

If you aren’t going to use the self parameter, you should avoid using it.

You aren’t using self, therefore you shouldn’t use thing:function(), rather use thing.function().

Oh I see, I did a print(status and I was wondering why it was printing a table id.
