Hi, You need a Local Script which goes under The Screen Gui. The Local script is a client version of Server Script, this gives the ability to get input from the Player which happens on Screen, usually immpossible to get from Server Script.
I suggest you watch videos about using Gui’s and I suggest to use Lua Documentation

Like @X0BaconHairDude0X said, you need to make that a local script.

To actually toggle the GUI, you could use an if statement that checks if .Visible is true. For example:

if script.Parent.YourFrameOrWhatever.Visible == true then
	script.Parent.YourFrameOrWhatever.Visible = false
else
	script.Parent.YourFrameOrWhatever.Visible = true
end

local frame = script.Parent.Parent.Frame

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
  if frame.Visible == false then
    frame.Visible = true
  else
    frame.Visible = false
end)

client scripts are not expected for guis in StarterGui server scripts would work in guis too

You literally have to use localscripts for guis, server scripts do work but are not recommended

Roblox literally says to use localscripts, back up your facts before replying

#12

bro stop talking random things. who and where did said ‘server scripts do work but are not recommended’?

#13

Step 1: Make this a LocalScript under StarterGui.ScreenGui
Step 2: Make the code affect the client’s copy of the ScreenGui and not the game’s:

script.Parent.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   script.Parent.Frame.Visible = true
end)

Or just use not.

Frame = script.Parent.YourFrameOrWhatever
Frame.Visible = not Frame.Visible
#15

I typically do that but I didn’t want to confuse him.

Its not reccomended by the Developers. Theres a form about this.

Don’t suggest people to use serverscript as the norm, plus client scripts are normally expected.
