How do I turn my ScreenGUI on and off?

Asked by

Hello, I am making a Shop GUI on and I have a exit button (which works) but, I would like to also make a button that toggles the screen GUI on and off

I have had multiple attempts at this but here is what I have so far in my localscript.

view source
1local frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
2script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
3    if frame.Enabled then frame.Enabled = true
4end)

So all the "Parents" link up to the GUI that I am wanting to toggle, but the rest I just don't understand why it does not work.

Here is the exit button script in case if anyone needs it.

view source
1script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
2    script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
3end)

If anyone knows how to help me could they tell me what I did wrong so I could see my mistakes and I am willing to accept their question if it helps me out in any way.

Thank you for reading this!

Do you mean Visible in the frame's properties? There is no such property as Enabled in a frame. Let's fix your code!

view source
1local frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
2script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
3    frame.Visible = not frame.Visible -- The shortest and easiest way! :D This will toggle the Visible property! Also, the property you are looking for is Visible!
4end)

Next time, try look deep into and mess around with a new object's properties to see how they effect the object. That way, you won't be making this mistake again. :)

If you have any questions, please leave a comment down below. Thank you and I hope this will help you!

Well, there is no property in a SurfaceGUI called "Visible" but there is enabled which basically does the same thing which I used instead of Visible kingwizard13093 5 — 8y
