SOLVED 😎 Hi, this is me begging anyone for help with my tool/gui/anim issue😭😭🥺 | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

I'm very bad at scripting, I'm mostly a builder/modeler solo dev, so scripting has always been something I've struggeled with. I'm having an issue with a script in my game that I'm developing. I have a phone tool that you can emote with. Inside the tool is a ScreenGui, with a script and other frames and buttons. I've managed to make the emotes work when clicking on a specific buton but, you can still unequip the tool while playing an emote, which breaks everything, this is my pathetic attempt at trying to fix that, and the error I got 😭
I've been looking everywhere for a way to do this but I'm getting desperate, any help is VERY VERY appreciated 🥺😔😔
My line of code: game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PhoneGui").Phone.HideFrame.Frame.Texting.Emote:Stop()
The error: "Stop is not a valid member of Animation "Players.boyngt6355.PlayerGui.PhoneGui.Phone.HideFrame.Frame.Texting.Emote""

patent kestrel ye so u can watch a youtube video

I don't even know what to search for 😭

#

I've already tried that many times and got nothing

#

it's been days since I've made any progress and I'm just getting even more unmotivated each day when I make no new progress

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 7:14 PM

#

ill assume you got the script from somewhere and u dont know how to use it

#

look in the script for something like

#

"local animation = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PhoneGui").Phone.HideFrame.Frame.Texting.Emote)"

#

and replace the error line with "animation:Stop()"

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 7:16 PM

#

wary bronze ill assume you got the script from somewhere and u dont know how to use it

I only got a part from a tutorial cuz I had no idea how to make guis pop up when a tool is equipped, and I slightly edited it

#

I'll just send both scripts to not cause confiusion

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 7:16 PM

#

if you cant toggle ui visibility with scripts then ur not even over the scripting basics

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 7:16 PM

also thank you so much for responding

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 7:17 PM

alright ill see what i can do

try moving a part

#

with a script

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

So, this is the one that moves the gui to player's local gui folder local Ui = script:WaitForChild("PhoneGui")

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
local ScreenGui = Ui:Clone()
ScreenGui.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PhoneGui").Phone.HideFrame.Frame.Texting.Emote:Stop()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild(Ui.Name):Destroy()
end)

#

and this is the one inside the text buttons that triggers the anims local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
repeat wait()
character = player.Character
until character
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Emote = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Emote)
local frame = script.Parent.Parent
local talk = frame.Talking
local play = frame.Playing

playing = false

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if playing == false then
Emote:Play()
talk.Visible = false
play.Visible = false
playing = true
elseif playing == true then
Emote:Stop()
talk.Visible = true
play.Visible = true
playing = false
end
end)

#

😭

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 7:20 PM

#

umm

#

basically

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 7:20 PM

#

patent kestrel try moving a part

I mean I can do that (unless I've already forgotten since I've did some scripting lessons ages ago), I just had no diea how to open a gui with a tool

how to script a gui

#

you shouldnt use a toturial and copy the scripts

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 7:26 PM

#

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Emote = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Emote)
local frame = script.Parent.Parent
local talk = frame.Talking
local play = frame.Playing

playing = false

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if playing == false then
        Emote:Play()
        talk.Visible = false
        play.Visible = false
        playing = true
    elseif playing == true then
        Emote:Stop()
        talk.Visible = true
        play.Visible = true
        playing = false
    end
end)
local tool = script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Tool")
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
     Emote:Stop()
      tool:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("ScreenGui",true):Destroy()
end)```

#

replace the second script with this ^

#

and

#

local Ui = script:WaitForChild("PhoneGui")

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
    local ScreenGui = Ui:Clone()
    ScreenGui.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
end)

#

the first with this^

#

keep in mind tho that these are just corrections

#

i wouldnt make it this way

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 7:27 PM

#

patent kestrel you shouldnt use a toturial and copy the scripts

yeah, I always follow along and try to learn as much as I can, I just don't have much time to learn everything by watching long series bc of my situation I'm in irl rn, there's a lot going on

I'll look thought the script maybe I can find the reason why it's breaking?? I doubt I'll find anything but I'll try to be usefull 😭

Maybe instead of the gui getting destroyed, it should go invisible?

i dont see the line which is deleting it

and you said no errors

then when it's equipped

hmm

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:10 PM

and when unequipped

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:10 PM

#

oof

#

alr so

#

test again but

#

once you click the emote button

#

check if the UI is still in the tool

#

the tool will be inside the character before unequiping

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:12 PM

#

okay

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:12 PM

#

wary bronze the tool will be inside the character before unequiping

oh right I forgot 💀

#

it does

#

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

its still there after you clicked the emote ui?

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

yeah

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

and unequiping destroys it huh

#

honestly

#

just put the PhoneGui in a folder in replicated storage

#

then

#

change the first script to this:

#

local Ui = game.ReplicatedStorage.ToolsUis:WaitForChild("PhoneGui")

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
    local ScreenGui = Ui:Clone()
    ScreenGui.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
end)

#

(name the folder in replicated storage to "ToolsUis"

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:16 PM

#

okay 😨

#

omg it works 😭

#

I mean

#

there's 1 issue

#

you have to double click the emote button twice after unequipping the tool with the emote playing

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:17 PM

#

ah

#

this shi so weird

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:18 PM

like I have a tools gui that pops up and if you force quit the settings menu without clicking out of the tools gui, the next time you open the settings you gotta double ckick to make it pop up and then it's like nothing happened

oki

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:20 PM

#

unreal yoke like I have a tools gui that pops up and if you force quit the settings menu wit...

yeah i guess force quiting the gui is not reseting the bool variables

#

oh wait

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:21 PM

#

wary bronze but before that

the falsescript is underlined

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:21 PM

#

unreal yoke the falsescript is underlined

yeah that

#

jump space between them

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:21 PM

#

wary bronze yeah i guess force quiting the gui is not reseting the bool variables

yeah, I tried testing with the print command and for some reason the bool value would not change

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:21 PM

#

wary bronze jump space between them

oh oki

#

okay so, you actually have double click to use an emote each time you equip the tool and not only when you unequip the tool while emoting

#

I feel like this game is cursed with the double click virus

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:24 PM

#

after the first force unequip is that?

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:24 PM

#

unreal yoke I feel like this game is cursed with the double click virus

lol

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:25 PM

#

wary bronze after the first force unequip is that?

no, it happens each time I equip the tool, even if it's the first

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:25 PM

#

oh and it stays that way the whole game or

#

or only when first equipped

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:26 PM

#

the whole game

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:26 PM

#

how about stopping the emote

#

does it need double clicks

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:27 PM

#

yeah

#

also sometimes it opens only after 3 clicks?????????????????????

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:28 PM

#

....

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:28 PM

#

unreal yoke also sometimes it opens only after 3 clicks?????????????????????

breh

#

we need dont need evidence

#

we need proof

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:29 PM

#

I tested it a few times again

#

it needs 1 click to emote the first time

#

but if you unequip it's 2 clicks

#

so the double click thing must be from unequipping the tool

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:30 PM

#

unequiping the tool is destroying the script

#

thus reseting it

#

so it should work as if its the first time

#

unless..

#

honestly no idea

#

lets do some prints

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:34 PM

maybe it's changing things in the original inside the replicated storage?

#

absolutley no idea how that would work but that's my only idea

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

unreal yoke maybe it's changing things in the original inside the replicated storage?

its just a copy, not really related

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

yeah, right

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

wary bronze ```lua local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local character = player.Characte...

try this

#

and study the output

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

okay

#

um

#

for some reason the emote is breaking now

#

it plays after unequipping

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:36 PM

#

...

#

all i did was adding prints

#

wth

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:37 PM

#

also on the first click it does not print anything

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:37 PM

#

wary bronze all i did was adding prints

yeah 😭

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

yikes

#

oh

#

thats cause

#

cause its waiting for the tool

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

I added the previous script without the prints to the second emote and it works fine

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

i think..

#

then

#

wwwwait

#

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local tool = nil
while not tool do
 tool = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
 task.wait()
end
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Emote = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Emote)
local frame = script.Parent.Parent
local talk = frame.Talking
local play = frame.Playing

playing = false

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print(playing,Emote)
    if playing == false then
print("Playing")
        Emote:Play()
        talk.Visible = false
        play.Visible = false
        playing = true
    elseif playing == true then
print("Stopping")
        Emote:Stop()
        talk.Visible = true
        play.Visible = true
        playing = false
    end
end)

        playing = false

end)

#

go

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

the double click is gone 😨😨😨

#

now it's the emote that's breaking

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

unreal yoke the double click is gone 😨😨😨

how did you fix it?

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

removing the 1 sec wait time from the top

#

and making it 0.03 sec

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

oh

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

alr so for the emote

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

I was hoping that it's a simple line of code that I could also add to my other scripts to remove the double click there too lol

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

how is it breaking again?

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

unreal yoke I was hoping that it's a simple line of code that I could also add to my other s...

not that simple it depends

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

it breaks after unequipping the tool while using the emote

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

what kind of breaking

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:42 PM

#

it just keeps playing

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:42 PM

#

like it never plays again?

#

again

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

the Phone printed but the second one didn't

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

so after you unequip, nothing is printed right?

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

yeah

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

yikes

#

again

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:48 PM

#

still only the first one

#

wait a second

#

I have an idea

#

um???

#

so

#

I went to the second emote since it has an older script that had only the double click issue

#

and I copied it for the first emote

#

just changed the time thing that was breaking the older script

#

the second emote fully works

#

but the first one that has the same script as the second one is still broken in the same way

#

like the only thing that's diffrent between emote 1 and emote 2 is the animation id that's not even inside the script

brittle frostBOT Nov 27, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 5! ** studio

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

and only the first one is breaking

#

I have no idea what this implies I'm so lost

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

wary bronze ```lua local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local character = player.Characte...

so you copied this

#

and replaced the second emote script with it

#

correct?

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

wary bronze ```lua local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local character = player.Characte...

no, I went back to this one and changed the task.wait to 0, it worked on the second emote, but not of the first one

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

you mean the second emote works fine

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

yes...

#

but not the first one

#

even tho it's the same script

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

does it have the same script as the first

#

alr so

#

the first emote aint stopping you say

#

even if you click on the button instead of just unequiping

#

right?

#

is the second emote printing all the stuff?

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

wary bronze even if you click on the button instead of just unequiping

it does stop, just not when unequiping

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

oh alr

#

and do the second emote print

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 8:58 PM

#

since it's the older version it does not have any prints yet, wait a sec, I'll add them

#

wait a sec I'll just send the script that's in both

#

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local tool = nil
while not tool do
tool = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
task.wait()
end
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Emote = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Emote)
local frame = script.Parent.Parent
local talk = frame.Texting
local play = frame.Playing

playing = false

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

Emote:Play()
talk.Visible = false
play.Visible = false
playing = true
elseif playing == true then
Emote:Stop()
talk.Visible = true
play.Visible = true
playing = false
end
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
Emote:Stop()
talk.Visible = true
play.Visible = true
playing = false script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("ScreenGui"):Destroy()
end)

#

it's this one

#

sorry for the confiusion 😭

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:01 PM

#

humm

#

there is not much difference

#

does the wait at the unequipped event matter

#

i dont think so

#

something is off

#

the tool aint nil

#

why isnt the first emote firing at the unequiped event

#

are you sure it is not printing

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

I put the print in many places to see where it breaks but so far it printed everything with no problems at all

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

except?

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

I put prints in 2 places and this is what happened when I unequipped the tool while emoting

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

my issue is with what comes after the "tool.Unequipped:Connect()"

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

wary bronze my issue is with what comes after the "tool.Unequipped:Connect()"

there were no print issues there

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

unreal yoke the Phone printed but the second one didn't

which one did you mean here

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

wary bronze which one did you mean here

print(tool)

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:08 PM

#

..

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

#

okay

#

#

this is what I got

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

first emote right?

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

yeah

#

let me try the second one too

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

where did the stopped and not stopped prints come from tho

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

wary bronze where did the stopped and not stopped prints come from tho

I have no idea, I didn't add any there

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

click them they must redirect u to the script

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

I tried the second emote

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

wary bronze click them they must redirect u to the script

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

unreal yoke

do it before stopping the game

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

I didn't

#

I'm still in it

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

unreal yoke I tried the second emote

copy the script and past it for the first emote

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

unreal yoke I'm still in it

yikes

#

aparently you confused first emote with the second

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

wary bronze ```lua local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local character = player.Characte...

copy paste this into both emotes

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

wary bronze copy the script and past it for the first emote

yeah they are the same

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

unreal yoke yeah they are the same

it isnt printing what it should though

#

just go copy paste again

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

I have no idea what's going on since there were no changes in the script but now it works?

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

there must have been some missed details

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

I have NO idea what happened

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

wary bronze there must have been some missed details

yeah maybe?

wary bronze Nov 27, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

welp good that now it works

#

im pretty sure you were confusing which script for which emote

unreal yoke Nov 27, 2025, 9:18 PM
