How to Dynamic GUI creation?
Hi guys; I'm creating a GUI where the user can choose how many lights they want and they can patch them into the GUI. Upon patch if the user has choose to patch in 6 lights then I want the script to create 6 TextButtons in a certain frame. How would I make it so that a script can create a certain amount of gui text buttons in the frame when a button is clicked. The amount can be any number chosen by the user (from 0 to inf.)
If you need any more information then just say. Thanks guys. Golden

First of all, sorry for how late this answer is coming but also, you would need to have a TextBox and after the player types in their number, you would have to set the number as a variable. After this, you would create a loop that would copy the text buttons into the frame when the TextButton is clicked. A Script such as the following could be used(but slightly altered to fit your hierarchy). This would be a LocalScript:
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
gui = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame
gui.TextBox.FocusLost:connect(function(enterPressed)
if enterPressed then
local num = tostring(gui.TextBox.Text)
for i = 1, num do
game.ServerStorage.TextButton:Clone().Parent = gui
wait()
end
end
end)
