Im aiming for where an controller can click one of play button and it will go to the next frame but the code I wrote it keeps fireing the A button which leades it to continue the same process over and over again instead of fireing the other buttons instead.

–//My Current Code

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key, EventSequence)
	if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonA then
		for I = 0,1.5,0.05 do
			script.Parent.Parent.MainGui.Background.Menu.Credit.TextButton_Roundify_12px.ImageTransparency = I
			script.Parent.Parent.MainGui.Background.Menu.PlayButton.TextButton_Roundify_12px.ImageTransparency = I
			script.Parent.Parent.MainGui.Background.Menu.SettingsButton.TextButton_Roundify_12px.ImageTransparency = I
			script.Parent.Parent.MainGui.Background.Menu.Credit.TextTransparency = I
			script.Parent.Parent.MainGui.Background.Menu.SettingsButton .TextTransparency = I
			script.Parent.Parent.MainGui.Background.Menu.PlayButton.TextTransparency = I
			RunService.RenderStepped:Wait()
		end	
		script.Parent.Parent.MainGui.Background.Menu.Credit.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.MainGui.Background.Menu.PlayButton.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.MainGui.Background.Menu.SettingsButton.Visible = false
		wait(1)
		MenuFolder.Slots.Visible = true
	end
end)

Add a debounce if you need something to have a cooldown.

That’s not really what I’m looking for. I don’t want the same function activating on different buttons

Try doing this:

local maingui = gui -- your starting menu gui
local currentbutton = 0

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key, EventSequence)
	if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonA then
          if maingui.Visible == true then
            currentbutton += 1 -- makes the console player go to the next button and then making it slightly invisible to avoid confusion
            maingui:FindFirstChild(currentbutton).BackgroundTransparency = 0.2
            maingui:FindFirstChild(currentbutton - 1).BackgroundTransparency = 0
           end
      end
end)

However you only have 3 buttons so you need to do a some lines of script which makes the currentbutton to 1 and max 3

Hmm this was not really what I was looking for but it most likely would work.

Got it to work by using GuiService, here is an example code for anybody who needs help with this in the feature.

local GuiService = game:GetService("GuiService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key, GameEvent)
	if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonA then--I used A for example you can change it to your likeing then
		if GuiService.SelectedObject.Name == "TextButton" then--The Name of your Gui object here
			--//Write your function here 
		end
	end
end)
