How do you use ScreenGUI as dialog?

Asked by 8 years ago

I want to make it so when someone clicks on the NPC, the dialog would pop-up. However, I tried to do so but just can't do it. Here are script that I tried:

AS = script.Parent -- NPC
GUI = script.Parent.FirstTextGui --- ScreenGUI
Frame = script.Parent.FirstTextGui.FirstTextBox -- Frame
Text = script.Parent.FirstTextGui.FirstTextBox.FirstText -- TextBox
Next = script.Parent.FirstTextGui.FirstTextBox.FirstText.NextButton -- TextButton
Talk = false

AS.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(talk)
    if Talk == false then
        GUI.Enabled = true
        Frame.Visible = true
        Text.Visible = true
        Next.Visible = true
    end
end)

This is my first time coding in Lua so I need all of the help that I can get. If you could, please try to shorten down the script.

For you to see the screen gui, it would have to be placed in StarterGui. FiredDusk 1466 — 8y

Also, you can't use MouseButton1Down on a model, that event only fires on a TextButto FiredDusk 1466 — 8y

You would need to detect when a click detector is clicked. A clickdetector passes the play argument so you can find the GUI and make it visible from there.

Also, do make sure that for you to effectively and potentially interact with the screen GUI, it would have to be placed/copied into StarterGui. ClickDetectors CAN work in models in the right conditions, for your information.
