How to Remove GUI and Respawn Player after 'Play' Button is Pressed

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, I’m pretty new to Roblox scripting, and apologies in advance if I am being stupid/overlooking something really simple. I wanted to ask how I can remove the GUI and respawn a player after a TextButton is pressed. I decided to turn to the community, due to me being unable to find a suitable tutorial.

Thanks,

You can disable the gui on the client and fire a remote event to communicate to the server and you can load the character using player:LoadCharacter()

#3

Like whale said, use player:LoadCharacter() and use script.Parent.Parent:Destroy() to destroy the gui or script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false to make the guis inside of a gui invisible

#4

It’s player:LoadCharacter() btw

Hi,

Thank you for your responses - apologies if this was a really basic error - but I am new to scripting. Should this script go into my main GUI script (the MainMenuHandler) or a new script inside of the Menu ScreenGUI?

#6

Well It’s really up to your choice

#7

Alright, thank you for the help. I have kept this GUI in StarterGUI, is this fine or should I move it?

It should go to your ‘play’ button

#9

Okay. But, for the entire GUI (the whole menu) would it be fine to keep it in StarterGUI?

Thanks, sorry for the dumb questions.

#10

Yeah it would be fine to keep it in StarterGUI since thats where you put all of your guis in there

Inside play button:

local btn = script.Parent

btn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
wait (1)	
	script.Parent.Parent:destroy()
	
end)

Make sure Parent count is correct.

Sorry, one more question - this does work, and removed the GUI - but I have a camera part, and the view is fixed - is there some way I can make it revert back to the player view when player is respawned?

Put this in a LocalScript in the spawn.

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera


function Touch(hit) 
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(Touch)
