script.Parent is the GUI, not the tool

You're making a path to the tool itself.

So script starts at the script itself.

Parent goes up one, which in this case is the GUI.

So where is the GUI and where is the tool?

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:02 AM

script.Parent is playergui not a tool

chrome zodiac

GUI is already ScreenGui, so doing GUI.ScreenGui won't be the ScreenGui you want

The last line doesn't really make sense

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:10 AM

#

yea lemme delete that

#

last line

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:12 AM

#

karmic tiger GUI is already ScreenGui, so doing GUI.ScreenGui won't be the ScreenGui you want...

so what should i edit the GUI.ScreenGui to

karmic tiger Sep 28, 2025, 1:13 AM

#

chrome zodiac so what should i edit the GUI.ScreenGui to

Just GUI

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:13 AM

#

k

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:14 AM

#

I think its player.PlayerGui not game.PlayerGui

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:14 AM

#

of course this happens when i was editing it 😭

#

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

gaunt plover I think its player.PlayerGui not game.PlayerGui

let me try that :P

#

is this correct???

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:16 AM

#

yes and you can remove the unnecessary last line

#

you can do wait for child in case the screengui doesn't load in

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

like

#

doyou mean that last lin

#

e

#

cause i playtested it and the gui still didnt load in

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

yes remove the last line guis never show up in the character unless you put them there

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

i did remove it

#

still doesnt load

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:19 AM

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

gaunt plover use wait for child on that line

which line?

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

where you declare the gui variable

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

oh

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

also you don't need a separate connection to play the sound you can move the sound into the same connection as the gui becoming enabled

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

?

#

should it be thi

#

s

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

put it in quotes as a string

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

oh m

#

mb

#

let me send you the full ss of the script cause

#

it does not wanna show up for some reason

#

#

this is what it looks lik

#

e

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:24 AM

#

looks good but you can move the beep sound play to be on the line after the gui being enabled

#

then remove the old connection because you dont really need that second connection

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:25 AM

#

alright

#

#

?

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:27 AM

#

remove the last equipped connection and take out the sound play to be the line right after the gui being enabled

#

like gui.enabled = true
sound:Play()

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:27 AM

#

would the id of the sound be in quotations

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

no im just saying sound because im typing on phone and it takes a long time

#

just cut the entire line of the sound playing and put it right after the line where you do gui.Enabled = true

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

k

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:29 AM

#

then inside of the unequipped connection remove the second equipped connection

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:29 AM

#

chrome zodiac

you tried to reference a ScreenGui that was in a ScreenGui

#

unless you have a SceenGui in one already then its not going to work

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

that problem has already been fixed

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

the only thing in my screen gui is a frame

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

could you show us the StarterGui in the explorer

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

yes

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

it could help a ton

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

the gui is showing when you equip the tool right?

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

no

#

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:31 AM

#

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:31 AM

#

#

k

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:31 AM

#

chrome zodiac

#

wait nvm

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:31 AM

#

gaunt plover also change wait for child screengui to be c00lgui

this is probably why

#

its going to return infinite yield possible if not

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:32 AM

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:32 AM

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:32 AM

remove the unnecessary end) you have a syntax error

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:32 AM

#

#

ignore the badge id things

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:33 AM

#

gaunt plover remove the unnecessary end) you have a syntax error

k

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:33 AM

#

chrome zodiac k

when you see a red line you should have alarms blaring in your head

#

keep that in mind for scripting

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:33 AM

#

eternal marsh when you see a red line you should have alarms blaring in your head

lol

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:33 AM

#

99.9999% of the time if theres a red line the script is going to error

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:33 AM

#

chrome zodiac

so how do i fix this one

#

was it the syntax error

#

with the extra end

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:33 AM

#

chrome zodiac so how do i fix this one

remove the "end)"

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

leave one or remove both of them

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

you can also hover mouse over red lined things to see whats wrong with them

#

leave one

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

k

#

beep noise works now, no gui

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

remember you can count the amount of things that would require an end to know how many you need

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

let me check console

#

again

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

chrome zodiac let me check console

no errors

#

gui just doesnt show

#

beep noise plays though

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

hmmm

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

is the frame invisible

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

is the GUI enabled by default

#

wait thats a stupid question

#

nvm

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

gaunt plover is the frame invisible

visible is unchecked

delicate elkBOT Sep 28, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

studio ** You are now Level 4! ** studio

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

chrome zodiac visible is unchecked

thats why

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

oh

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

visible will always hide it

#

visible and enabled are very similar things

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

either keep it checked or modify frame itself

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

actually, whats the difference between the two

#

i dont know

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

right now you are modifying its parent which is a screengui

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

grandpa do you know the difference between visible and enabled

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

enabled im pretty sure is not a property of ui elements only screengui

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

ah

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

it shows before you equip the tool btw

#

the gui

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

then make it disabled at first

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

chrome zodiac it shows before you equip the tool btw

thats probably because enabled is activated in the explorer

#

either you can disable it whenever the script starts or change it in the explorer

#

either works

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:37 AM

#

alright

#

i swear to you

#

on everything

#

there is no "enabled" anywhere

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:38 AM

#

this cant be good

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:38 AM

#

in the properties

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:38 AM

#

i was right

chrome zodiac Sep 28, 2025, 1:38 AM

#

eternal marsh Sep 28, 2025, 1:38 AM

gaunt plover Sep 28, 2025, 1:38 AM
