My Code:

local MainFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.MainFrame
local drop = script.Parent
local menu = drop.Menu
local open = menu.Open.Value
local selection = drop.Selection
local Frame1 = script.Parent.Parent.ButtonsDropdown
local Frame2 = script.Parent.Parent.FramesDropdown
local Frame3 = script.Parent.Parent.LightingDropdown
local Frame4 = script.Parent.Parent.IconsDropdown
local Open1 = Frame1.Menu.Open
local Open2 = Frame2.Menu.Open
local Open3 = Frame3.Menu.Open
local Open4 = Frame4.Menu.Open

local function closeFrames()
	for _, item in ipairs(Frame2:GetChildren()) do
		if item:IsA("Frame") then
			item:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "Out", "Sine", 0.15, true)
			wait(0.01)
			item.Visible = false
		end
	end
	for _, item in ipairs(Frame3:GetChildren()) do
		if item:IsA("Frame") then
			item:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "Out", "Sine", 0.15, true)
			wait(0.01)
			item.Visible = false
		end
	end
	for _, item in ipairs(Frame4:GetChildren()) do
		if item:IsA("Frame") then
			item:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "Out", "Sine", 0.15, true)
			wait(0.01)
			item.Visible = false
		end
	end
end

function trigger()
	if not open then
		menu:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1, 0, 6.238, 0), "Out", "Sine", 0.15, true)
		for _, button in pairs(menu:GetChildren()) do
			if button:IsA("TextButton") then
				button.Visible = true
			end
		end
		wait(0.001)
		open = true
	else
		closeFrames()
		wait(0.001)
		for _, button in pairs(menu:GetChildren()) do
			if button:IsA("TextButton") then
				button.Visible = false
			end
		end
		open = false
		Open2 = false
		Open3 = false
		Open4 = false
	end
end

selection.MouseButton1Click:Connect(trigger)

for _, button in pairs(menu:GetChildren()) do
	if button:IsA("TextButton") then
		button.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
			button.BackgroundTransparency = 0.8
		end)
		button.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
			button.BackgroundTransparency = 1
		end)
		button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			script.Parent.Parent.Parent.CurrentPage.Text = button.Text.." Buttons"
			trigger()
		end)
	end
end

This should close out all of the frames when trigger function is called. Please reply if this didn’t work.

#3

It didn’t work, the button didn’t even open.

#4

Could you please check with a print() if the closeFrames function is being fired?

#5

I’m gonna make a video and show yall

#6

Here check it out:

It says that in line 3 it couldnt find drop.Menu. You may want to check that. Keep in eye that lua is case-sensitive

#11

Oh Jeez, I think I see the problem… There is no menu in buttons for some reason. I’ll fix that.

#12

Just saw that you have a pic of your workspace here xD. So the variable seems right… Is this a script or local script?

#13

Local Script. But now watch this video because I have another problem.

#14

Ok, so first of all:
Place a task.wait(1) at the beginning of the script. Maybe the script is loaded before the UIs. I will look into your other problem later, since I have to go now.

#15

where at the beginning? Like line 1?

#16

Yes Line 1. So that the Character has time to load until the script runs and checks his elements

#17

Okay done, but it didn’t change anything.

#18

You got any ideas on how to fix this?
