How to make/use GUI's within a plugin to act as a prompt box?

Asked by 8 years ago
Edited 7 years ago

There is not much more I can say about this question but the background info is that I require user input while they use my plugin. I have see this done in the Roblox Animation Plugin where you can click animation editor which then shows a gui for user input. The GUI is not shown in the tree so it cannot be deleted by the user which is what I am looking for and also this can be done either while in studio or playing solo.

I could create a GUI then place it into the tree but this will mean that the player can "see/edit/delete" which are things that could effect the plugin so this is not an option for me to use.

The solution that I am looking for is a way of showing a GUI (like a prompt window) to the user while not allowing then to access/edit the GUI so that the plugin can collect the user input.

If you need any more info add a comment.

Thanks in advanced for any help.

CoreGui

The standard method for Plugins to use GUIs is to insert them into the CoreGui, which is accessible by Plugins due to their permission levels. CoreGui can be treated just like StarterGui and PlayerGui, and similarly will have most of the quirks of PlayerGui/StarterGui.
