If you destroy Instance’s on a local script it would destroy the Instance only for the local player.
If you destroy Instance’s on a server script it would destroy the Instance for all players.

So lets say, the player types /cmds and a UI opens. then there’s a button that closes the UI (The code is in a local script) and I use :Destroy() that would only get rid of it for the local player

Yes. It will destroy the instance for the local player only.

It would get rid of the UI permanently. Which means if the local player presses the close button, and says the /cmds message again it would error because the GUI has been destroyed and returns nil. I would prefer changing Visible to false instead of destroying.

So what I want to do is when a player says /cmds, It clones it, Would that matter (I am still learning scripting)

I would prefer changing the property “Visible”
