Why is this GUI enabler button not working?

do you have local scripts in every gui button? because instead what you should do is to use 1 script to check if any of the parts are clicked and enable the gui based on what part it is

#22

I’ve fixed this issue already and this wouldn’t matter as the function isn’t firing either way. I will post an updated script in a sec.

#23

wait is this the code inside of that localscript?

#24

The parts are deleted for optimisation and general ‘you found it’ stuff. Also it wouldn’t matter if every gui button had a local script as it’s the part/button scripts i have an issue with?

#25

its better you use 1 script than multiple as it makes the game more simple that was just a side note

#26

That local script is inside the part?

Updated Script: 
local PlayerGui = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local FaceButton = game.PlayerGui.FaceSelection.Frame.FaceButton
local FaceIcon = game.ReplicatedStorage.Face1.Texture

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait(1)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(BasePart)
	FaceButton.FaceEquip.Enabled = true
	FaceButton.BackgroundColour3 = Color3.new(0,1,0)
	FaceButton.Image = FaceIcon
	print("Touch Run")

	if FaceButton.Image == FaceIcon then
		print("Success")
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end)
#27

You are using StarterGui, which will not work. If this is an serversided script this will work. Here is an edit to your script that will work. ClickDetectors have a player argument that you can get from it.

local FaceIcon = game.ReplicatedStorage.Face1.Texture -- Set to face image in replicated


script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
    local PlayerGui = player.PlayerGui
    PlayerGui.FaceSelection.Frame.FaceButton.FaceEquip.Enabled = true
	PlayerGui.FaceSelection.Frame.FaceButton.BackgroundColor = Color3.new(0,1,0)
	PlayerGui.FaceSelection.Frame.FaceButton.Image = FaceIcon

	if PlayerGui.FaceSelection.Frame.FaceButton.Image == FaceIcon then
		print("Success")
		script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end)

The scripts within the gui are small as well it’s just easier for me to sort out rather than having to use a whole script for it.

What is in the output when you play the gam

#30

#31

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

#32

As i said before i switched the StarterGui to PlayerGui. I also don’t need the player argument for the ClickDetector?

#33

As stated before the code im having an issue with is in the part button which is not a disabled localscript,

#34

So no toutch eun or success correct

#35

this part has a script to enable the localscript correct?

#36

The part has the localscript im having issues with the function firing for which enables the localscript.

My issue is that the function is not firing.

#37

Is the local script running? At all if your not sure put a print at the beginning of the function

#38

a local script cant run inside of a part:

A LocalScript will only run Lua code if it is a descendant of one of the following objects:

therefore the localscript in the part isnt running which means it cant enable the localscript in the gui. also if you want to use a localscript like this then you should use the first script to clone the localscript and parent the clone to the player which will cause it to run
