Why isn't my script working?

Hi, my script isn’t working but it’s not giving any errors or red lines. Here’s the code:

local TutorialGui = script.Parent
local TutorialFrame = TutorialGui:WaitForChild("TutorialFrame")
local YesButton = TutorialFrame:WaitForChild("Yes")
local NoButton = TutorialFrame:WaitForChild("No")
local AmountOfPlayerVisits = 1
TutorialGui.Enabled = false
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
	AmountOfPlayerVisits += 1
	if AmountOfPlayerVisits == 1 then
		TutorialGui.Enabled = true
		TutorialFrame.Text = "Hey there! It looks like you are new, would you like a tutorial?"
		YesButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			TutorialFrame.Text = "Continue Tutorial..."
			NoButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
				TutorialFrame.Text = "Ok, enjoy your stay! (If you ever want to go back to the tutorial, (insert thing here)"
			end)
		end)
	end
end)

The Gui just doesn’t show, does anyone know what’s happening?

I think this works, but I’m not able to debug because my player has already visited over thousands of times so it won’t show for me :frowning:

Maybe because the code is running after the player’s character is added? Try checking by respawning your character.

If so just edit the code to check if a character already exists (if Player.Character and Player.Character:IsDescendantOf(workspace), if not wait for the player’s character to be added

  • edit: nevermind, it could be that but it’s also because the variable “AmountOfPlayerVisits” is set to 1 when it is supposed to be 0
