Shop visibility help

Trying to make a buy zone for my game, but when the round begins, the round system selects the players’ teams, and they get teleported, when they touch the trigger, the frame does not open.

I cannot figure out as to why this happens as nothing appears in the output.

local localScript = script.Parent.Parent
local frame = localScript.Parent.ShopFrame
local timerText = frame:WaitForChild("ShopTimerText")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local debounce = false
local hasOpened = false

local function formatTime(seconds)
	local minutes = math.floor(seconds / 60)
	local secs = seconds % 60
	return string.format("%02d:%02d", minutes, secs)
end

local function OpenFrame()
	if not debounce and not hasOpened then
		debounce = true
		hasOpened = true
		frame.Visible = true

		for timeLeft = 50, 1, -1 do
			timerText.Text = formatTime(timeLeft)
			wait(1)
		end

		frame.Visible = false
		debounce = false
		timerText.Text = ""
	end
end

local function OnTouch(other)
	local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(other.Parent)
	if player then
		OpenFrame()
	end
end

local function onPlayerRespawn(player)
	hasOpened = false
	debounce = false
end

local function connectBuyZones()
	local buyZones = CollectionService:GetTagged("BuyZone")
	for _, buyZone in ipairs(buyZones) do
		buyZone.Touched:Connect(OnTouch)
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		onPlayerRespawn(player)
	end)
end)

connectBuyZones()

return OpenFrame

Help would be appreciated!

Hello,

Make sure the scripts loads the buyZones correctly (that the CollectionService can find those zones) and debug the rest of your code.

Sincerely,

It does seem to load them correctly, I really don’t know why this happens.
