Hello I made a script and i am trying to access a surface gui

[abstract wolf]

Before I dive into this, just a hint, read into guarding your if statements,

it comes down to changing out

if condition then

end

for

if not condition then return end

as you may see, your script is currently very wide, which tends to be harder to read. Guarding your if statements can reduce the white space on the left by a ton

nah like my question is I just wanna access "SurfaceGui"

im just wondering if there are any shorter ways thatz this

[abstract wolf]

Just string up some dot nav

[reef haven]

so like local SurfaceGui = something something something

so i can have it as a

local

in the script

the script is inside SurfaceGui

[abstract wolf]

local SurfaceGui = workspace.Shit.Shit.SurfaceGui

[reef haven]

Ah

thanks

[abstract wolf]

But you should still dive into guarding your if statements

[reef haven]

idk what does this mean

also is this correct aswell?

i mean everything altogether works

just feels long

Basically, try to have your code stay vertical instead of horizontal. It helps a lot when dealing with readability later down the line. It’s just a good habit to get into. Generally speaking it’s advised to keep your code only 4 indents deep, at most. A bit more is still acceptable, but 5+ already becomes hard to read

Anyways, next time when you make satirical code, just loop through all descendants a few times and use a bit of syntax sugar. That’s way more fun than just indents

[reef haven]

got it

whats syntax sugar

[abstract wolf]

Dive into it, it’s fun

I couldnt make it longer cause it already

is longer than my screen

You took the fun out of it tho 😔

[abstract wolf]

you can do shit like

local Syntax = print
local Sugar = “Hello World!”
Syntax(Sugar)
