Hey, for some reason this script doesn’t work. And I don’t know why. Can anybody help?

If anybody could help me it would be great. Thanks!

On line 5, it should be .Parent, not .Parents

#3

Still doesn’t work. Anything else?

#4

Are there any errors in the output window?

#5

No, there aren’t any errors. (30 chars)

#6

Ok try this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local tool = script.Parent
local plr = Players.LocalPlayer
local gui = nil

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
   gui = tool.KitchenGuide:Clone()
   gui.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
   gui:Destroy()
end

Edit: Put this in a LocalScript

#7

Still nothing, I put a ) after the end at the ending. The output said it was wrong unless I did that. Still doesn’t work even after doing that. I also have textlabels inside.

#8

Right, um sorry about that ).
I’m not sure why it isn’t working. Try putting print statements inside the functions to see if they’re running.

#9

You have a space in this line: tool.KitchenGuide: Clone()

It should be: tool.Kitchenguid:Clone()

Also, when you say that it doesn’t work, what’s not working? The GUI isn’t disappearing?

EDIT: also, as @rohithsuju12345 just said, you need to say :Destroy() not .Destroy()

Please notify us if it works! :grinning:

#10

Yeah also its better to do :Destroy() instead of .Destroy()

This is because the script is not a local script, I have made this mistake and using this plugin I could convert it to a local script and it should work

#12

You don’t really need a plugin to make it a LocalScript. Just copy the code, make a new LocalScript and paste it into that.

I know you don’t need a plugin but it is easier to just convert it, it is also handy if you want to convert things like models to folders without making a folder then putting the model in the folder then ungrouping it, it is more convenient

#14

Yeah, I was just saying in the case of scripts you don’t really need it :slight_smile:

Doesn’t work after using your tips. Also the GUI doesn’t show. The GUI IS enabled.

#16

While playing, go to the Explorer and check under the PlayerGui to see if it is there or not.

#17

I put a print statement after ui.Parent = game:GetService(“Players”):GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent).PlayerGui
and it didn’t work.

#18

Did you try using the code I posted?

#19

Yes. I also put it in a local script still didn’t work

#20

As I said before, try checking the explorer while playing.(after equipping the tool that is)
