Maybe the more verbose version would be better for @DuckKing_FRS to understand it.

Yes, that would work. just parent the script to the ScreenGui itself, and not the button.
And then instead of doing
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click ,
do
Script.Parent.account_box.MouseButton1Click

#14 
local switch = true
script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
    if switch then
        game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = true
        switch = false
    else
        game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = false
        switch = true
    end
end)
#15 
local Frame = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if Frame.Visible == true then
  Frame.Visible = false
else
	Frame.Visible = true
end
	
end)

you are missing a ) after the last end

end)

You have to make sure all your boxes are named the same otherwise there isn’t a parent/ making it not work.

#22

You can unlock the mouse by either editing the MouseBehavior with UserInputService, or you can create an invisible button with the Modal property

#23

This is probably you’re fastest and best way to do it if I’m going to be honest with you @DuckKing_FRS

#24

how can i put that into a script with enum keycode?

#25

#26 
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")--get the service
--do note that this is detecting if you're pressing a key rather than pushing
--a screen gui button, for you can't click a screengui button if you're in 
--first person
local frame = script.Parent.Frame
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then --Q is an examble key 
	if frame.Visible == false then
		frame.Visible = true
	else
		frame.Visible = false
		end
		end
end)

  1. Make sure your Button isn’t parented to the Frame

Capture d’écran 2022-08-26 211122 DO NOT DO THIS

  1. Add a LOCALSCRIPT inside of your Button

Capture d’écran 2022-08-26 211249 NOT A SCRIPT, A LOCALSCRIPT

  1. In this LocalScript you want to type in this code :
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- Whenever the button gets clicked
	if script.Parent.Parent.Frame.Visible == false then -- If the frame's visibility = false then
		script.Parent.Parent.Frame.Visible = true -- ...we are setting it to true
	else -- If it's not = false (So it's = true)
		script.Parent.Parent.Frame.Visible = false --..we are setting it to false
	end
end)
  1. !!! Make sure, before testing you set the Visibility of the Frame to “False”.
  2. Join the game and it should work.
