Why is my Gui not parented to the plugin widget?

Greetings!
So, I am making a plugin, but when I test it, the gui does not show up.

here is the script:

local Toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar('World Builder Pluguin')

local FoliageGeneratorButton = Toolbar:CreateButton('Foliage Generator', 'A tool helping you to create custom grass, leaves or generally any foliage you desire', 'rbxassetid://5832364067')

local foliageWidget = plugin:CreateDockWidgetPluginGui(
	'Foliage Creator',
	DockWidgetPluginGuiInfo.new(
	Enum.InitialDockState.Float, 
	false,                       
	true,                       
	340,                         
	350,                         
	340,                         
	350
	)                         
)

foliageWidget.Title = 'Foliage Generator'
foliageWidget.Name = "Foliage Generator"

local Gui = script.ScreenGui:Clone()
Gui.Parent = foliageWidget


FoliageGeneratorButton.Click:connect(function()
	plugin:Activate(true)
	foliageWidget.Enabled = not foliageWidget.Enabled
end)


And here is the gui that needs to be displayed:

Boosting this because no one has answered and it’s like 7 hours now… :frowning:

#3

Did you click the button first?

#4

Which button? The button to activate the plugin? If so, yes I did.

#5

How do you know the ScreenGui is not parented?

#6

It might be parented, but I only see white, which isn’t supposed to happen…
Btw, for some reason, the screenshot does not show up, so imma reupload it.

#7

Maybe there’s nothing in the ScreenGui or the ScreenGui itself has Enabled set to false

Here’s the image for people

No, it is enabled. (adding more characters)

#10

thnx, for some reason, when I upload it, it does not show it. That’s weird, but nvm.

#11

I’m confused it looks fine to me

#12

I would rewrite this as:

FoliageGeneratorButton.Click:connect(function()
	plugin:Activate(true)
	foliageWidget.Enabled = foliageWidget.Enabled and false or true; -- If the widget is Enabled then disable it else enable it, same as the ternary a ? b : c 
end)

This is what I see:

Because you didn’t close the code block

#15

Tried it, but the same is happening.

#16

Put a semi-colon at the end of
plugin:Activate(true)

#17

Didn’t work either. (more characters)

#18

What is this meant to achieve? That will help us deduce the issue.

#19

So, I want gui in my plugin widget, but when I try to run the plugin, the gui does not show up in the window.

Show me the script with the changes
