in these images, one shows the fact that im trying to make it where when a new prompt gets created it destroys the old one immediately (to prevent stacking.), but i keep getting this error in the other image, and i have no idea how to get around this since im handling the gui in a modulescript.

Just check if gui exists by checking if it is nil or if the parent of the gui is nil

I know it doesnt solve the issue much but you can replace lines 16-18 with pps.PromptHidden:Connect(custompromptmodule.onhidden)

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 3:07 PM

#

if not gui or not gui.Parent then return end

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 3:54 PM

#

ive added it

#

and when i walk away it puts "test" aswell (i removed it before sending that img)

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:07 PM

#

empty venture ive added it

what

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:08 PM

#

if not gui or not gui.Parent then return end

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:08 PM

#

I mean here

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:08 PM

#

ohhhhh

#

now ive added it

#

wait

#

do u want me to replace gui:Destroy?

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:09 PM

#

no

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:09 PM

#

oh

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:09 PM

#

i'll explain

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:09 PM

#

ok

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:10 PM

#

This is your error. It means that its trying to call the Destroy method on a variable which does not have that method.

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:10 PM

#

yes

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:11 PM

#

The reason for why it does not have that method is probably because the gui doesn't exist anymore because it already got destroyed

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:11 PM

#

oh yeah

#

to be fair

#

when i loaded in

#

and i looked in player gui, i noticed one immediately get removed

#

but then a new one got added

#

right afterwards

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:12 PM

#

strange but you can avoid the error by just checking if the gui exists

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:12 PM

#

then adding gui:Destroy???

#

after it?

#

like inside the if statement?

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:13 PM

#

which you do by checking if the gui == nil or the parent of the gui == nil. And the simplified version of that would be:

if not gui or not gui.Parent then return end

its the same as:

if gui == nil or gui.Parent == nil then return end

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:14 PM

#

yeah i know

#

but im confused, if it prints test if the gui doesnt exist, then what else is there to do?

#

#

thats me going away from it

#

my main point is that i want to make it stop stacking

#

like all the guis

#

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:16 PM

#

can i see where you create the gui

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:16 PM

#

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:19 PM

#

empty venture

do your npcs all have different names?

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:19 PM

#

nonono

#

i have it where if the proximity prompt has like itemdetailprompt for the attribut ethen it creates the ui for it

#

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:20 PM

#

ah its not about npcs anymore

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:20 PM

#

no

#

im now working on proximity prompts

#

then ill get to dialog prompts

#

or later on maybe

#

ive been working on this 4 ages but i barely work on it

#

like here and there

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:23 PM

#

empty venture

so this function triggers when?

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:24 PM

#

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:24 PM

#

aaa

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:24 PM

#

yes

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:30 PM

#


function module.onhidden(instance, prompt, InputType, gui)
    if currentprompt then
        if gui and gui.Parent then
            gui:Destroy()
            currentPrompt = nil
        end
    end
end

Should do it tho.

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:36 PM

#

what about doing this

#

then changing it in onhiddne

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:36 PM

#

hazy moss ```lua function module.onhidden(instance, prompt, InputType, gui) if curren...

also this doesnt work btw

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:38 PM

I just noticed that your giving your onhidden function only nil values

#

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:39 PM

#

i just realised that aswell..

#

should i try make it where if theres another gui duplicated it removes the old one in createpromptforattribute?

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:40 PM

#

well i think the best thing to do is just to not even create a new gui if there already is one.

#

Feels alot cleaner

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:43 PM

#

how do i do that

#

i think using values can do but i dont want to do that,i feel like theres a simpler way

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:45 PM

#

can i see your function that creates the itemdetailprompt

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 4:45 PM

#

empty venture

.

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 4:48 PM

#

empty venture

Make a function to detect if a itemdetailprompt already exists that has its adornee set to the prompts parent.

#

Just loop through each itemdetailprompt and check if the adornee is the same as the parent of the prompt variable given inside the function.

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 5:01 PM

#

icl this is so long

#

idek if i can be bothered

#

genuinely

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

huh its just a for loop and returning true if the condition is met

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

no but like ive been trying for hours now

#

its lowkey draining me

#

nothing works

#

ill do this later

#

i give up with this shit

#

atm

hazy moss Mar 30, 2026, 5:04 PM

#

fair enough. Breaks are needed

#

Ping me once if you got it to working or if there is another issue.

empty venture Mar 30, 2026, 9:43 PM

#

hazy moss Just loop through each itemdetailprompt and check if the adornee is the same as ...

where should i put this now

#

in the createprompt function?

#

omg

#

nevermind

#

i got it to work

#

all i had to add was only gui in the function

#

wait nvm

#

the thing is, when i put gui it showed ProximityPrompt instead of BillBoard gui

#

which i suppose thats what i want it to say

hazy moss Mar 31, 2026, 9:37 AM

#

bruh

#

well at least it works now 👍

empty venture Mar 31, 2026, 2:33 PM

#
