The title says it all. Basically I want to know what light influence does in billboard guis.

If you consult the devhub, it states:
“The LightInfluence property determines how much environment light affects the color…”
This means that at 1, the brightness of the enviorment around the object will significantly change how the colors on the gui look. While at 0, the brightness of the enviorment has no effect on the colors.
The best way to understand this is by messing with it yourself. Try making a gui and putting it in a dark place with light influence up to 1, then try putting it down to 0. Do this again but in a bright place and observe the difference.

So if the light influence on a billboard is set to 0, and it is set in a dark place, the billboard gui will look like its bright?
Yes. So like having a BackgroundColor of [255, 255, 255] will be a pure white background. If you increase LightInfluence you will see that it’s no longer pure white but some darker shade.
