You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to connect the button into the inventory system by pressing key and mouse clicking

    by pressing with the key and the mouse clicking

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    No solution at all sadly

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

In a local script parented to the button:

local inv = "PATH TO YOUR INVENTORY SCREENGUI"

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	inv.Enabled = not inv.Enabled
end)

#4

I don’t know what I’m looking at. What do you want me to do exactly?

#5

So i need the close/open button to be connected into the inventory frame gui
just like roblox default when u press it a quad key then it open the inventory
or when u click it by mouse on the button then it open or close

but idk how to connect to it

#6

Connect a function to it that fires whenever the text button is clicked @PeacefulTobika already gave you a script to put in the button.

#7

You can’t modify the keybind to open the Roblox backpack, it’s a CoreGUI. You’d need to make a custom backpack which I assume you’re already doing, in which case I’ve already provided a solution on how to make a toggleable GUI script.

#8

So do you need to me add an local script inside the textbutton gui of it?

#9

This is like the bare bones of scripting if you don’t understand this you should watch some more tutorials.

#10

Do you know how to type the path to your inventory GUI? I will walk you through this but don’t expect others to do the same thing for something this simple.

#11

Try this one in a local script in the gui

local button = -- path to your button here--
local Frame = -- path to your inventory frame here--

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    Frame.Visible = not Frame.Visible
end)
#12

Nope i dont i just need to add the button for the inventory gui by pressing keyboard and a mouse as well

#13

I cannot look inside your game. I don’t know where exactly in the files the ScreenGUI and the Button is, so you need to do it yourself.

#14

#15

Drag the textbutton so that it’s parented to the Inventory ScreenGUI, let me know when you’ve done that.

#16

alright the text button is inside the inventory gui

#17

Okay, make a Local Script and make sure it is parented to the textbutton. Double click on the local script and paste the following code into it:

local Frame = script.Parent.Inventory

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
    Frame.Visible = not Frame.Visible
end)

made by @Datsun4885, felt like I needed to state that

It should now be a button that toggles the inventory GUI to be on and off.

#18

Where do you want me to put the local script inside of the textbutton or inside the inventory gui

#19

Make sure it is parented to the textbutton.
Parented is another way of saying that it’s inside of an object. The TextButton would be the parent and the script would be the child of the parent.

#20

“script.Parent.Activated”. use some common sense bro read the script ( too rude? )
