Download the AutoScale Lite plugin.
(this will make your GUI work on all sizes of screens.)

Now select the blue icon and this menu will pop up.
click scale for both.

Create a new Text button or image button.
You can rename the buttons and the name will come up later.
On the button use the Auto Scale Light plugin again with the same steps.
You can now customize you Gui.

Put the Gui into the script we made.

You will have to edit the script, the script explains what you will change.

local toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Toolbar name") -- change to name of plugin
local newScriptButton = toolbar:CreateButton("Button name", "description", "image") -- change to text and for "image" use the image id not the decal id.
local materials = Enum.Material:GetEnumItems()
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
newScriptButton.Click:Connect(function() -- when the button in the plugins tab is pressed
	if script:FindFirstChild("UI") then
		script.UI.Parent = game:WaitForChild("CoreGui")
		game.CoreGui:WaitForChild("UI").Bar.Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() -- you will have to change Bar.Button to your ui names in the UI.
			local part = Instance.new("Part") -- this is the part were you can make what you want to do happen when the button is pressed.
			part.Parent = game.Workspace
		end)
	else
		game.CoreGui:WaitForChild("UI").Parent = script -- hides the UI
	end
end)

I highly recommend using a variable for the UI. Please, also clean your code with ternary

local toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Toolbar name") -- change to name of plugin
local newScriptButton = toolbar:CreateButton("Button name", "description", "image") -- change to text and for "image" use the image id not the decal id.
local materials = Enum.Material:GetEnumItems()
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local UI = -- path to UI
local coreGui = game:GetService("CoreGui")
newScriptButton.Click:Connect(function()
    UI.Parent = UI.Parent == script and coreGui or script
end)
UI.button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
--code
end)

also why make variables you dont need and why not make variables when u need them?
