SurfaceGUI Button Problem

[rough slate]

I'm trying to make it print "Hello World" when the user presses a text button inside of a surface gui but nothing prints...

[dense field]

Script?

[rough slate]

local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    print("Hello World")
end)

very simple.

idk the issue

script.parent being the button

[dense field]

Activated is a better practice than mousebutton1click

[rough slate]

local button = script.Parent

button.Activated:Connect(function()
print("Hello World")
end)

nothing prints when i click it

its legit just meant to print "Hello world" when i press the buy button.

you can only use local scripts inside starterplayer, startergui and starterpack

12:03:46.823 MainBoard is not a valid member of Model "Workspace.Map.Area1.StarterArea.UpgradeBoards.MainBoards.Important.Upgrades" - Client - LocalScript:1

local button = workspace.Map.Area1.StarterArea.UpgradeBoards.MainBoards.Important.Upgrades.MainBoard.Upgrades.Main.CurrencyIncrease.Buy

button.Activated:Connect(function()
    print("Hello World")
end)

its the part tho

im confuzzled

[dense field]

its because the map might have not loaded in yet

you gotta use wait for child

[rough slate]
