MainGui is not a valid member of PlayerGui "Players.<Player>.PlayerGui"

[paper latch]

Hey, im getting this error even though I have MainGui in startergui

[timid drift]

could be getting called too early. try waitforchild

[paper latch]

How would I use that? Sry im new to script

[rose dove]

Is it a script or local script?

[paper latch]

Local

in Starter PlayerScripts

[rose dove]

i think but like that the error happens because the StaterGui gets copied into PlayerGui only on the client side so like if the script is running on the server it won’t see the MainGui in PlayerGui idk if im correct

im most likely wrong lol

[timid drift]

this is not correct

[timid drift]

send the relevant part of the script

[paper latch]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 50

leaveGuiEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    player.PlayerGui.MainGui.leaveButton.Visible = true
end)

player.PlayerGui.MainGui.leaveButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    leaveGuiEvent:FireServer()
    player.PlayerGui.MainGui.leaveButton.Visible = false
end)``` line 9

player.PlayerGui.MainGui.leaveButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()

[paper latch]

Like this player.WaitForChild.MainGui.leaveButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()?

[timid drift]

oh i see the issue

local leaveGuiEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.LeaveGuiEvent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 50

leaveGuiEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    player.PlayerGui.MainGui.leaveButton.Visible = true
end)

playerGui:WaitForChild("MainGui").leaveButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    leaveGuiEvent:FireServer()
    player.PlayerGui.MainGui.leaveButton.Visible = false
end)

[paper latch]

What was the issue? Sorry im trying to learn

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 50

leaveGuiEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    player.PlayerGui.MainGui.leaveButton.Visible = true
end)

playerGui:WaitForChild("MainGui").leaveButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    leaveGuiEvent:FireServer()
    player.PlayerGui.MainGui.leaveButton.Visible = false
end)``` Hey this is my current script and Im getting this error `Script 'Players.<Player>.PlayerScripts.LeaveButtonScript', Line 9`

hi

ummm lets see

[paper latch]

Im confused because there is nothing on line 9

[timid drift]

so basically the script is called at runtime, and it's sometimes a race condition as to whether startergui has been duplicated by the time the script runs

send the full error

[paper latch]

Nvn it's working now
