I want to make a GUI pop up when you join the game for the first time, but then never come up again. How could I make this work?

Make sure to read the part of the script you need to change 
local Data = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("HasPlayed1")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Connections = {}
local SpeedOfUpdate = 1; -- Time in seconds between value updates.

local function PlayerAdded(Player)
	local Success, Stats, Error = pcall(function() return Data:GetAsync(tostring(Player.UserId)) end)
	if not Success and Error then
		warn(Error)
	else
		local StatFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
		StatFolder.Name = "Played"
		local Stat1 = Instance.new("BoolValue")
		Stat1.Name = "HasPlayed"
		
		Stat1.Value = Stats and Stats[1] or false
		
		
		Stat1.Parent = StatFolder
		StatFolder.Parent = Player
		
		
		---------IMPORTANT PART HERE---------
		while wait(SpeedOfUpdate) do
		if Stat1.Value == false then
			Stat1.Value = true
			Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")["SPECIFY GUI NAME HERE"].Enabled = true
		else
			Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")["SPECIFY GUI NAME HERE"].Enabled = false
		  end
	   end
	end
end	
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	if Connections[Player] then Connections[Player]:Disconnect() end
	local Folder = Player:FindFirstChild("Played")
	local Success, Error = pcall(function() 
		Data:SetAsync(tostring(Player.UserId),{
			Folder.HasPlayed.Value,
		})
	end)
	if not Success then
		warn(Error)
	else
		Folder:Destroy()
	end
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	wait(1)
end)

Put in serverscriptservice as a script

You can do this through the use of Datastores. When the player joins the game you can check if the player has data saved or not. If they don’t then give them the tutorial GUI.

when it says specify gui name would i delete the brackets and replace them with .?

I tried this and it didn’t work. Do you think i could make like a leader stat that you wouldn’t see since i use a custom leaderboard and then set it to 1 when you join and save it with a data store to remember if you played? And then if you haven’t played the value is 0
