Question about making a plugin GUI help?

Asked by

So you know when you click on the plugin button, (if you use plugins), most of the times a gui pops up and you do options from there, well I'm new to making plugins and just want to know how to do that.

I've looked at the wiki, done a few things, and came up with this


--Libaries/Services
local RBXGui = assert(LoadLibrary("RbxGui"))

-- Setup Toolbar
local toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Really Cool Plugin")


-- Setup button
local button = toolbar:CreateButton(
    "Test1",
    "Test2",
    ""
)

--[[

Frame, Frame, Frame, BindableEvent CreatePluginFrame (
    string name,
    UDim2 size = nil,
    UDim2 position = nil,
    bool scrollable = false,
    Instance parent = nil
)   

--]]


button.Click:connect(function()
    plugin:Activate(true)
    local GUI = RBXGui.CreatePluginFrame("Frame", UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0), UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0), false, script.Parent)
end)

plugin.Deactivation:connect(function()
    print("Thanks for using my plugin! If you liked it, make sure to like it and share it with your friends!")
end)

when I print the guis parent, it tells me the parent, which is in a screengui, and that is in the folder. Is the gui not suppose to be in the folder.

Any help would be appreciated

The thing you are looking for is Game:GetService('CoreGui'), all plugins use coregui to hold GUI instances, example create ScreenGui instance , and create frame inside it now parent the ScreenGui instance to coregui, now your plugin has simple frame, hope it helps:). If this helps, can you please mark this as answered. mastermarkus 11 — 7y

let's say I make a text button with it, and make it do stuff. When I click on it while the plugin is active, will it work? and sure i'll mark it as correct just post it in answer section DeveloperSolo 370 — 7y
