Just trying to make a gui, a button that opens a menu with 3 more buttons, 1 to kill all, explode all and fling all. It should cost robux to do each. I currently already have a working invite button.

The issue is I am met with 2 errors:
Infinite yield possible on 'Players.theLord8.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("TrollButton")' - Studio
and
Script 'Players.theLord8.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.LocalScript', Line 7 - Studio - LocalScript:7

In testing, I can open the menu, but clicking on any of the kill/explode/fling buttons doesnt give the robux prompt.
I added the image of my explorer page of how i ordered everything.

It has 2 localscipts and there is 1 serverscript
Here they are:
LocalScript for button to open menu called opentroll

local Frame = SGui:WaitForChild("MenuFrame")
local Button = SGui:WaitForChild("TrollButton")

local KillButton = Frame:WaitForChild("KillButton")
local ExplodeButton = Frame:WaitForChild("ExplodeButton")
local FlingButton = Frame:WaitForChild("FlingButton")

Button.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
    Frame.Visible = not Frame.Visible
    print("MenuFrame visible: " .. tostring(Frame.Visible))  -- Debugging line to confirm visibility toggle
end)


-- Add functionality to each action button (optional for testing)
KillButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    print("Kill action triggered!")
    -- Implement the action here (e.g., kill all players)
end)

ExplodeButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    print("Explode action triggered!")
    -- Implement the action here (e.g., explode all players)
end)

FlingButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    print("Fling action triggered!")
    -- Implement the action here (e.g., fling all players)
end)```

I will send the other 2 scripts in message below

#

Then the localscript with the roblox developer product asset id's to buy them

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local screenGui = script.Parent.Parent  -- Assuming the script is inside the Frame
local openButton = screenGui:WaitForChild("TrollButton")
local menuFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("MenuFrame")

local killButton = menuFrame:WaitForChild("KillButton")
local explodeButton = menuFrame:WaitForChild("ExplodeButton")
local flingButton = menuFrame:WaitForChild("FlingButton")

-- Replace these with your actual Dev Product IDs
local DEV_PRODUCTS = {
    Kill = 3273656636,
    Explode = 3273657002,
    Fling = 3273657610
}

openButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    print("TrollButton clicked!")
    menuFrame.Visible = not menuFrame.Visible
end)


local function promptPurchase(action)
    local productId = DEV_PRODUCTS[action]
    print("Prompting purchase for: " .. action .. " with product ID: " .. tostring(productId))
    if productId then
        MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(player, productId)
    end
end


killButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() promptPurchase("Kill") end)
explodeButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() promptPurchase("Explode") end)
flingButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() promptPurchase("Fling") end)

-- Handle purchase
MarketplaceService.PromptProductPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(p, id, wasPurchased)
    if p == player and wasPurchased then
        for action, pid in pairs(DEV_PRODUCTS) do
            if pid == id then
                ReplicatedStorage.PurchaseEvent:FireServer(action)
            end
        end
    end
end)

#

Then the ServerScript


local purchaseEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PurchaseEvent")

purchaseEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, action)
    for _, target in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        if target ~= player then
            local character = target.Character
            if character then
                if action == "Kill" then
                    character:BreakJoints()
                elseif action == "Explode" then
                    local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
                    explosion.Position = character:GetPivot().Position
                    explosion.BlastRadius = 10
                    explosion.Parent = workspace
                elseif action == "Fling" then
                    local hrp = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
                    if hrp then
                        hrp.Velocity = Vector3.new(math.random(-100,100), 150, math.random(-100,100))
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
end)

Please help figure out whats wrong.

pine dawn Apr 25, 2025, 2:13 PM

#

twin sky like screengui is under startergui

it doesnt skip

#

u just

#

used too many .Parent

#

as your script is in startergui -> screengui

#

so script.Parent is screengui

#

and script.Parent.Parent is startergui

#

and u used 2x Parent

twin sky Apr 25, 2025, 2:13 PM

#

is that bad

pine dawn Apr 25, 2025, 2:14 PM

#

twin sky is that bad

am saying u used

#

one too much

#

your local ScreenGui isnt set to screengui

twin sky Apr 25, 2025, 2:14 PM

#

🙏

twin sky Apr 25, 2025, 2:16 PM

#

ok so local screenGui = script.Parent.Parent -- Assuming the script is inside the Frame becomes just
local screenGui = script.Parent -- Assuming the script is inside the Frame

pine dawn Apr 25, 2025, 2:16 PM

#

yes

twin sky Apr 25, 2025, 2:16 PM
