Making a gui go away FOREVER once pops up?

Asked 193 views1 answers

I have a gui and when u click "Play" is closes. Then when u die it pops up again!

"Play button that closes it"

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    p.PlayerGui.ExampleGui:Destroy()
end)

I want this moving gui/frame to close too!

Startposition=script.Parent.Position

while true do
    local RightBorder=script.Parent.AbsolutePosition.X+script.Parent.AbsoluteSize.X
    if RightBorder<=0 then
        script.Parent.Position=Startposition
    else
        script.Parent.Position=script.Parent.Position-UDim2.new(0.005,0,0,0)
    end
    wait()
end

An easy way is creating the GUI only when the player first joins the server (Using PlayerAdded) then it will only show every server they join. If you want it to be forever, such as playing the game and not getting the GUI in another server, It's DataStore

A simple way of doing this is by inserting a value into the player when they first join a game, then have the script check if it's already there or not. Try this (In a LocalScript inside the PlayerGui) :

if not game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("First") then
	Done=Instance.new ("BoolValue",game.Players.LocalPlayer)
	Done.Name="First"
	Done.Value=false
else
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ExampleGui:Destroy()
end

This should work if you use it correctly. If you have any further questions, please leave a comment below. Hope I helped :P

No, you should just be able to put it in the StarterGui
