Try making a local script inside the text button and then paste the following code in it:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    local GUI = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ChooseLevel"):WaitForChild("Main")

    if GUI .Visible then
        GUI.Visible = false
        script.Parent.Text = "Open"
    else
        GUI.Visible = true
        script.Parent.Text = "Close"
    end
end)

I even added some extra code so it changes the button text to say "Open" or "Close"!

You are supposed to find the GUI in the playerGui, not the StarterGui: Game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ChooseLevel.Main.Visible . I believe you are setting the Gui to not show up when new players join the game.

Just a heads up. It's "game.Players.LocalPlayer". Not "game.LocalPlayer" TheHospitalDev 1134 — 8y

Another question, where do you have the textbutton along with the script? Inside Workspace or inside the StarterGUI? If you could provide a picture with how you have it set-up then it would be much easier to help you. This is only if you are absolutely sure you want to have it this way. Otherwise, read ScripterTonys answer up above. Do what he says, and then put the textbutton along with the scrip addictedroblox1414 166 — 8y
