How do I make a GUI open/close

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I’m trying to get this GUI to open/close when clicking a button and it just ain’t working what so ever.

local openbutton = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Settings.ImageButton
local Gui = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.SettingsFrame

openbutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
Gui.Visible = true
if Gui.Visible == true then
Gui.Visible = false
end
end)

Could you show us your script and let us know if it’s a LocalScript or a ServerScript?

It’s a local script and everything which is there has been put above.

I see the problem, you shouldn’t be controlling the GUI from StarterGUI. Could I see the position of all the objects? Like

It needs to be a local script in the button: script.Parent.MouseButton1Click: Connect(function()
script.Parent.YourFrame.Visible = true
end)

You would need to be referring to playerGui the other way.

Here you go!

Replace your code with this

local openbutton = script.Parent
local Gui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent

openbutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Gui.Enabled = true
	
	if Gui.Enabled == true then
		Gui.Enabled = false
	end
end)

It does not seem to work. Like it ain’t opening the frame or closing it.

Could you show me the developer console?
Press f9 in game after pressing the button

#15

f9 on my pc turns my screen off.

#16

On some computers you have to hold the fn button when pressing f keys

#17

Assuming you’ve parented everything correctly ;

local openbutton = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Settings.ImageButton
local Gui = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.SettingsFrame

openbutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
 if Gui.Visible == false then
Gui.Visible = true
else if Gui.Visible  == true then
Gui.Visible = false
     end
end)

I can jump back in to studio and fix it if you want too
