WaitForChild("") refusing to actually wait

[left lynx]

I have a LocalScript and the first line waits for the ScreenGUI to be copied in the player's PlayerGui

local gui = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")

The warning I get is "Infinite yield possible on 'Players.username.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")'

[rotund shoal]

wdym its refusing to wait??

It means that theres no ScreenGui

what did you name your screengui to

[left lynx]

its still called ScreenGui

didnt bother to change it :P

[rotund shoal]

send ss

cus infinite yield means it may wait forever for it

[left lynx]

idk why its greyed out

i didnt set a setting or diable it or smth

it just happens when playtesting

but doesnt leave :/

the screengui DOES eventually come up but the waitforchild is too impatient to actually do its job >:(

and throws a warning

know anything that could help @rotund shoal?

[rotund shoal]

Use waitforchild when it comes up?? or idk however u want to do it

[left lynx]

a

the one reason i came to #1020374354867007528 is so that i know how to deal with it what

[foggy pagoda]

anymore context?

give the scripts in full

[left lynx]

uhh no thats the whole script

the same also happens for a part i added to the workspace

and also it only happens sometimes

[slow garnet]

nah being so fr waitforchild is so weird I don’t even use it anymore

I just adjust my script to where I can cache it with dot operators

[jagged forge]

its most likely greyed out, because you got this turned off

[jagged forge]

maybe your script is loaded in faster than gui? try this local gui = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui",5) --5 basically means how long its supposed to wait for

[left lynx]

wait u can do that???

[celest cedar]

** You are now Level 5! **

[jagged forge]

yup

if that wont work try: repeat task.wait() until game.Loaded

put that at beggining of your script

[left lynx]

also @jagged forge u know how to make badgeservice:userhasbadgeasync() faster? i am using task.spawn but its still not enough, and because its async something wont wait for it to finish first

[jagged forge]

sadly i won't be able to help you with that one, not that familiar with badges
