How to destroy a GUI permanently

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I made a W.I.P. screen and when a player clicks Play it destroys the screen. I want it to be destroyed permanently so it doesn’t come when you die and respawn.

I wrote this tiny piece of code that I figured would destroy it and when something gets destroyed it wouldn’t come back because it simply wasn’t hidden, however being inexperienced obviously that wasn’t the case.

local Button = script.Parent

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy() --this references the ScreenGui that everything is connected to, therefore destroying everything (I think)
end)

I was thinking I could run a second script that would delete the screen right after you respawn so the player doesn’t see it when they respawn but I’m not sure what event I would use to determine if a player just respawned and I’ve tried looking for it but I couldn’t find anything. I’m not even sure if that would work anyway.

Try disabling the “ResetOnSpawn” option under your ScreenGui, it should work.

Player.CharacterAdded is the event you’re looking for.

Press F1 in studio and search for the instance you want the methods for.
