I am trying to make an error text label and when I turn visible on in studio it shows but when its off and I play the game with the script that makes it visible it doesn’t show, the script works but for some reason its invisible. Thank you for your time!

local starterGUI = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local items = serverStorage.Items
local Axe = items.Axe
local Pickaxe = items.Pickaxe
local errorText = game.StarterGui.Shop.TextLabel
	
	if Gold.Value >= 5 then
		errorText.TextTransparency = 1
	else
		errorText.TextTransparency = 0
	end
end)

that is the general area and I deleted some un important stuff.

Kk! Quick question do you want me to help you?

#3

If so what type of script is it?

#4

yes please!!!

#5

Like Local Script, Server Script, Module Script.

#6

regular server script______________

#7

Alrighty, then give me a few minutes to look at the script.

#8

Question is it visible? or is it not visible?

#9

Is the TextLabel actually visible? Try checking if TextLabel.Visible is false.

#10

Because it’s putting the TextTransparency to 1. Not the visibility to true.

#11

I also made a remote event and i have a seperate local script in the shop button that just fires the server once the button is clicked

#13

This won’t work at all! Your using StarterGUI and you need to use PlayerGUI. StarterGUI is duped into PlayerGUI for players to see them.

Try this based on what @OfficialPogCat said:

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") :: StarterGui
local items = serverStorage.Items
local Axe = items.Axe
local Pickaxe = items.Pickaxe
local errorText = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Shop").TextLabel

if Gold.Value >= 5 then
	errorText.TextTransparency = 1
else
	errorText.TextTransparency = 0
end
end)
#18

local starterGUI = game:GetService(“StarterGui”)
local items = serverStorage.Items
local Axe = items.Axe
local Pickaxe = items.Pickaxe

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local errorText = player.PlayerGui.Shop.TextLabel
if Gold.Value >= 5 then
errorText.TextTransparency = 1
errorText.Visible = false
else
errorText.TextTransparency = 0
errorText.Visible = true
end
end)
end)

Here you go that’s your script.

#20

Btw you don’t need the starterGUI Variable at the first line.

#21

let me just give you the half script to make it easier to understand

#22

You don’t need the first variable for StarterGui.You’ll also have to format the indents within it.
