How do I make a gui that appears only the first time you join the game?

Asked by

I just know the very basics of Lua since I didnt studied much this language. And what I was trying to do is to make a gui pop up in your screen only the first time you join the game. Dying or rejoining the game wouldnt trigger the gui to pop-up. It seems like the code reset when I die or I leave the game

I know my code sucks please dont judge

local no2x = 0      -- Variable to not allow the gui pop-up again
local Frame = script.Parent.Welcome     -- The gui
local Button = script.Parent.Button     -- The close button

if no2x == 0 then           -- Code to execute if "no2x" is 0
    Frame.Visible = true
    Button.Visible = true
else if no2x == 1 then      -- Code if "no2x" isnt 0
        Frame.Visible = false
        Button.Visible = false

        if no2x == 1 then       -- Output to see if the code is working
            print("no2x set to 1")

            Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
                no2x = 1        -- Set "no2x" to 1 when the button is clicked
            end)
        end
    end
end

I added the commentaries while writing this to make it easier to understand the code. Anyways if you know the fix for this crappy code I would thank you so much! Thanks for reading.

The ScreenGui has a 'ResetOnSpawn' property which you can turn off. radiant_Light203 1166 — 3y

To make the Gui not popup after you join you have to use DataStoreService

You also had some errors in your script but I fixed them. :)

local no2x = 0      -- Variable to not allow the gui pop-up again
local Frame = script.Parent.Welcome     -- The gui
local Button = script.Parent.Button     -- The close button
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SaveGuiScreen")

while true do
    if no2x == 0 then           -- Code to execute if "no2x" is 0
        Frame.Visible = true
        Button.Visible = true
    end

    if no2x == 1 then -- Code if "no2x" isn't 0
        Frame.Visible = false
        Button.Visible = false
    end

    if no2x == 1 then       -- Output to see if the code is working
         print("no2x set to 1")
    end

    Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
           no2x = 1        -- Set "no2x" to 1 when the button is clicked
    end)

    Player.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
        DSS:SetAsync(Frame, Frame.Visible)
    end)
end

I hope this helps! Please tell me if I made any errors :)
