late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:16 PM

naive yacht `a.SpecsGUI.Enabled = not`...?

a.specsgui.Enabled = not a.specsgui.Enabled

#

it means that whatever value it currently is

will return the opposite

naive yacht Apr 12, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

Uh, no

late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:16 PM

so if its false, it will b true, n if its true, it will returnrr false

naive yacht No thats not how you use not

I think that's perfectly fine, using flag = !flag is a perfectly valid way to toggle things in other languages, in lua's case being flag = not flag which may not be good english but it's fine programming

why not?

i forgot actually

I jsut take people advice easily without knowing the reason

lmao

ill use it too

#

im exactly like u bro

late cloak ill use it too

wha i was just wondering if they knew why. i know why ;p

#

testing me eh?

late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:38 PM

#

subtle lake wha i was just wondering if they knew why. i know why ;p

ooo

#

can u tell me why

#

ok so my code still does not work

subtle lake Apr 12, 2025, 12:40 PM

#

late cloak can u tell me why

it's a microoptimization, instances having a parent also fire property changed events, and since when creating instances is when you're changing lots of properties, parenting it before changing those properties raises events for no reason. Instance.new("Part") part.Parent=workspace part.Color=etc part.CFrame=etc part.Material=etc is the same as Instance.new("Part",workspace) ...etc. the benefit is only in doing Instance.new("Part") ...part.etc=etc... part.Parent=workspace, aka parenting last

#

it also fires replication in some cases like in workspace

late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:41 PM

#

ooo

subtle lake Apr 12, 2025, 12:41 PM

#

setting parent last sets all the properties at once

late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:41 PM

#

since ure good

#

can u help w my code pls

where is the units button in your code?

late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:43 PM

i made an instance.new making it

late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:43 PM

subtle lake where is the units button in your code?

specsbutton

#

when i click

#

it prints the statement

#

but it doesnt pop up the ui

hollow hull Apr 12, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

think you should change this a.SpecsGUI.Enabled = not a.SpecsGUI.Enabled to a.SpecsGUI.Enabled = true

late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

i want them

#

so if they click it again

#

itll go false

#

but i tried tht and it didnt work

hollow hull Apr 12, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

m

subtle lake Apr 12, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

hollow hull think you should change this `a.SpecsGUI.Enabled = not a.SpecsGUI.Enabled` to `a...

it will toggle on repeat clicks so it can be ignored because the problem would then be "i have to click it twice!" since we know it's toggling but that's not the stated problem ;p

hollow hull Apr 12, 2025, 12:46 PM

#

Does the OwnedSpecs frame have UIobjects that aligns the textbuttons?

subtle lake Apr 12, 2025, 12:46 PM

#

late cloak but it doesnt pop up the ui

a few starting points, make sure a.specsgui is in fact a screengui, exists in the explorer tree (browse to it while studio is in play mode), positioned correctly etc, when you get to it in the explorer and if it's all there, make changes to the properties manually until you get it working once, then just repeat what you need to do in the code

#

also do be sure to turn off resetonspawn

#

since i'm assuming this is a starterplayerscript and your custom coregui should only exist once

#

actually scratch that, i dont think you can turn that off for folders in the root of playergui

late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:50 PM

#

new problem

#

the screengui even when enabled does not appear

#

what could be causes

subtle lake Apr 12, 2025, 12:51 PM

#

the frames parented to it are invisible, or position wrong

#

or there's no frames hehe

#

cmon, you needed to ask about that? i told you to check the properties of everything

late cloak Apr 12, 2025, 12:51 PM

#

subtle lake cmon, you needed to ask about that? i told you to check the properties of everyt...

yeah

#

i fixed the code

#

but now a new error appeared

#

like 5 mins ago it was working

#

works nbow

#my ui cant open can someone help?
