This is the STUPIDIEST ISSUE ON ROBLOX

Breezeph_0 · February 15, 2023, 9:00am

??? What the heck am i doing wrong??
It won’t even print(“Ok”)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local leaderstats1 = player.leaderstats.Eggcoins

local leaderstats2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.w1

local button2 = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Three.TextLabel

local three = script.Parent.Parent

local four = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Three.TextLabel

local originalposition = script.Parent.Parent.Position

local MaxEggdog = 1

local trigger = game.ReplicatedStorage.TropicalEggdog



if MaxEggdog > 1 then
	four.Text = "You can't buy more than one skin!"
	--copy tween service here
end

local db = false

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("Ok")
	if leaderstats1.Value >= 150 then
		print("2")
		--[[leaderstats2.Value = true
		button.Sound:Play()
		leaderstats.Value -= 150
	    trigger:FireServer()
	    MaxEggdog += 1
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false ]]
		script.Parent.Sound:Play()
		print("3")
		local Info = TweenInfo.new(1.25, Enum.EasingStyle.Exponential, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
		local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")

It won’t press??? (I made a new button)

It should be script.Parent.MouseButton1Click instead of script.Parent.Activated

Dev_Peashie · February 15, 2023, 9:08am

Activated works for a GUI ImageButton and TextButton.

Is the script actually in the button as a Local Script?

PosFind · February 15, 2023, 9:09am

MouseButton1Click also works for both ImageButtons and TextButtons.

Dev_Peashie · February 15, 2023, 9:10am

Thats true, thats why using Activated or MouseButton1Click its not the issue

Breezeph_0 · February 15, 2023, 9:17am

Yes it is, Is the problem the variables?

Dev_Peashie · February 15, 2023, 9:20am

Could be, you dont have any error output?
Any of these variables could stop the script if any of those doesnt exist before the script is trying to reach them:

local leaderstats1 = player.leaderstats.Eggcoins
local leaderstats2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.w1
local button2 = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Three.TextLabel
local three = script.Parent.Parent
local four = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Three.TextLabel
local originalposition = script.Parent.Parent.Position
local trigger = game.ReplicatedStorage.TropicalEggdog

Check output and use WaitForChild() on all of them

A little improvement you should try is to define variables instead of using those “ladders” of .Paren.Parent.Parent... To make it easy to not get confused while referencing them

local MainGUI = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local four = MainGUI:WaitForChild("Three")

Breezeph_0 · February 15, 2023, 9:27am

I did??

I removed the waitforchild because I thought the script was looping over one forever
(Still don’t think it’s waitforchild, since the problem im facing is these two here

Print doesn’t print.)

Dev_Peashie · February 15, 2023, 9:28am

The script was “looping”/yielding with the WaitForChild()? Then one of those instances doesnt exist, that would be the issue

Dev_Peashie · February 15, 2023, 9:30am

The issue are not those lines.
Simply the script is not reaching those lines, so, theres no function connected to the button.
If you said that you removed the WaitForChild() cause it was looping forever, probably theres an instance in there that doesnt exist, and WaitForChild was waiting for it to exist. If you remove it the problem is not fixed, cause the instance still not existing

Breezeph_0 · February 15, 2023, 9:32am

Alright found one.

LOCAL Leaderstats2

Breezeph_0 · February 15, 2023, 9:32am

I refixed it to the one i want but it doesn’t work???

Dev_Peashie · February 15, 2023, 9:33am

All variables used in the script exist now? totally sure?
No errors in output?
Send the code again

Dev_Peashie · February 15, 2023, 9:37am

You just removed one of the variables?
Why not debugging and canceling all the code that is not needed so you can test if the buttons actually works or not? Most of the code is useless if you want to test if the buttons works

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
--[[
local leaderstats1 = player.leaderstats.Eggcoins
local button2 = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Three.TextLabel
local three = script.Parent.Parent
local four = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Three.TextLabel
local originalposition = script.Parent.Parent.Position
local trigger = game.ReplicatedStorage.TropicalEggdog
]]

local MaxEggdog = 1

if MaxEggdog > 1 then
	--four.Text = "You can't buy more than one skin!"
	--copy tween service here
end

local db = false

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("Ok")
	--[[
	if leaderstats1.Value >= 150 then
		print("2")
		--leaderstats2.Value = true
		--button.Sound:Play()
		--leaderstats.Value -= 150
	    --trigger:FireServer()
	    --MaxEggdog += 1
		--script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
		script.Parent.Sound:Play()
		print("3")
		local Info = TweenInfo.new(1.25, Enum.EasingStyle.Exponential, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
		local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
		if not db then
			print("4")
			db = true
			three:TweenSizeAndPosition(
				UDim2.new(0.9, 0,0.9, 0), -- size
				UDim2.new(0.07, 0,-0.1, 0), -- pos
				Enum.EasingDirection.Out, --easing dir

			)
			print("5")
			four:TweenPosition(

			)
			print("6")
			wait(3.5)

Alright totally the Variables

Breezeph_0 · February 15, 2023, 9:39am

Ill try reopening the functions under lemme try

Nevermind im dumb

im gonna try going through every one

Breezeph_0 · February 15, 2023, 9:42am

This one

Dev_Peashie · February 15, 2023, 9:46am

Yup the issue was an Instance not existing when the script is trying to reach it.
Thats why using WaitForChild() is useful, so the code below actually run and script wont stop.
And make sure the references you are working with actually exist in game/player etc.

Breezeph_0 · February 15, 2023, 9:47am

Yeah … still won’t work??
