SurfaceGui button refuses to activate

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi, I’m trying to make a button on a gui that activates and fires a RemoteEvent. However, this button just does not want to activate. It has that thing when you hover over it and it becomes darker, so I know there’s nothing blocking it, yet pressing it does nothing. In fact, the button right next to it, with the same parent, works.

local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BuyEvent = RepStorage:WaitForChild("BuyEvent")
local PlayerGui = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local ValPriceLabel = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("buyValGui").Cost
local cornGui = PlayerGui.GameStats.Frame:WaitForChild("cornamountlabel")
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("Buy button pressed, firing signal")
	BuyEvent:FireServer()
end)
BuyEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(ValPrice,cornStat)
	ValPriceLabel.Text = tostring(ValPrice).." Corn"
	cornGui.Text = tostring(cornStat)
end)

Try setting the parent of the SurfaceGUI to ScreenGUI and set it’s Adornee to the part you want.

Nope, didn’t work. Still don’t know why it won’t

Do you have one script or two scripts

Replace:

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()

with

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

Make sure that the “script.Parent” refers to the Image/Textbutton.

One script inside the button if that’s what you mean

Somehow even though I tried this before it works now, thanks!
