Unable to Disable Backpack CoreGui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Below is a chunk of code for some gameplay animations I have been working on. They work as intended aside from the line that is intended to disable the Backpack GUI.

game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)

I am not sure why this isn’t disabling my backpack. There are other functions in this same script that are set up essentially the same way and properly disable the backpack GUI.

That being said, also note that this script is a LocalScript that is a child of StarterGui.

m.KeyDown:Connect(function(Key, typing)
	if typing then return end
	local Humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
	local currState = Humanoid:GetState()
	if Key == "c" and Humanoid.WalkSpeed >= tonumber(WalkingSpeed) and currState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then
		IsCrouching = true
		game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)
		player.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools() -- unequips all equipped tools.
		if InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.S) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Up) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Down) then
			Animate = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(CrouchWalkAnim)
			Animate:Play()
		else			
			Animate = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(CrouchAnim)
			Animate:Play()
		end
	end
	m.KeyDown:Connect(function(Key)
		local numberCode = tonumber(string.byte(Key)); -- For up and down arrow keys
		if (Key == "w" or  Key == "a" or Key == "s" or Key == "d" or numberCode == 17 or numberCode == 18) and IsCrouching then
			Animate:Stop()
			Animate = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(CrouchWalkAnim)
			Animate:Play()
		end
	end)
	m.KeyUp:Connect(function(Key)
		local numberCode = tonumber(string.byte(Key)); -- For up and down arrow keys
		if (Key == "w" or  Key == "a" or Key == "s" or Key == "d" or numberCode == 17 or numberCode == 18) and IsCrouching and not(InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.S) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Up) or InputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Down)) then
			Animate:Stop()
			Animate = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(CrouchAnim)
			Animate:Play()
		end
	end)
end)

m.KeyUp:Connect(function(Key)
	if Key == "c" and IsCrouching == true then
		IsCrouching = false
		game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, true)
		Animate:Stop()
	end
end)

Could you show us the error message?

#3

If I remember correctly, you can’t edit or disable the CoreGUI

#4

You can, it just sometimes errors but let’s see what the OP says first.

Alright. Thanks for the clarification.

#6

Will it work/is it possible to hide and then show the CoreGUI instead of disabling and enabling.

#7

There is no error message unfortunately.

#8

Did you try game:GetService(“StarterGUI”)?

#9

Perhaps another script is interfering.

You sure you are using a local script right?

#11

There are no other scripts interfering. The same line works in other locations of the same script.

#12

I am inside of a local script that can run that same line in several other locations just fine. It is only in this function that it decides not to work.

#13

I have tried this already. Didn’t help unfortunately.

#14

Turns out there is another script interfering. Thanks for making me look again! hah!

Probably because the core scripts and GUI of the Backpack system are not yet registered to the StarterGui service. Instead, refer to this post’s solution:

#16

Edit: Realized that if the if statements were the issue, then the animations and other things in your script wouldn’t run. Keeping this post up for future reference.

It’s possible that the line of code is just not running because it’s getting stopped by the if statements.

Since I have no clue about what the rest of your script is trying to do, or how it works, I just made my own code to make sure that your line of code that disables the backpack should work, if it were to run. My example below does disable backpack when pressing the c key:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gp)
	if not gp and Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard == input.UserInputType then
		local keyCode = input.KeyCode
		local key = UserInputService:GetStringForKeyCode(keyCode)
		if string.lower(key) == "c" then
			game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)
		end
	end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gp)
	if not gp and Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard == input.UserInputType then
		local keyCode = input.KeyCode
		local key = UserInputService:GetStringForKeyCode(keyCode)
		if string.lower(key) == "c" then
			game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, true)
		end
	end
end)

The fact remains is that it would work if that line in your code would actually run. try adding print statements inside the if statements to see where the code stops running.

Good luck.

Btw, I found my own problem, if somebody is still trying to find the errors of the SetCoreGuiEnabled its probably the spellings sometimes errors like this are annoying :frowning:
