I suggest just making a frame through starterGui, but if you insist on doing it this way, make sure you put this into a local script. ssgmalachi 52 — 4y

The frame was created, but since you didn't supply enough properties; the frame was not seen. It's there, but you just need to be able to see it. Therefore; we apply more properties to it.

01--[==[
02    You should always be using a ServiceProvider.
03    Both the DataModel & the ServiceProvider service work.
04 
05    Never index a service from the DataModel, if anything can change the names of these services, indexing will break immediently.
06    That is why we have ServiceProvider:GetService

09-- How to get the ServiceProvider class. game does work too.

14local PlayButton = Buttons:WaitForChild("PlayButton")

You can create the frame you want in StarterGui and make it transparent. When the player clicks the play button, just change the transparency to 1 or if you want to make a smooth transition, just use TweenService.
