How do I prevent GUI from showing again?

Asked Oct 13, 2016375 views2 answers

Hello helpers, I've got a question, I've got an Intro GUI, but whenever you die the GUI shows up again, the close button has the following script:

function CloseGui()
    script.Parent.Parent.Visible = False
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(CloseGui)

I use visible instead because this won't do anything:

function CloseGui()
    script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(CloseGui)

Pls help it's annoying to have the into GUI all the time

Script is inside a button, which is inside a frame, inside a screen GUI, inside the starter GUI.

I wouldn't use csmz's method, because you might want some GUI's to show after death, but not the intro GUI. You could simply use a bool variable or value that is enabled whenever you are done watching the intro, and then if the bool is true, it won't work.

local shown = false

You didn't give me the function that opens the GUI, but make it check for shown.

if (not shown == true) then
	-- code
	shown = true
end

Thx a lot, DaCrazyDec

this method is very insufficient, because with ResetPlayerGuiOnSpawn on, if the script said the shown variable was true, it would show up every time.

In the explorer, click on StarterGui, and in its properties youll see "ResetPlayerGuiOnSpawn" uncheck that, and you should be good to go!
