so when you exit game and load game again that textbutton's loclascript would automaticly run (so if you have clicked textbutton and localscrupt runs and you exit game next time you visit local script would run instatly

you can save a boolean (true or false) when you've clicked the button. you can then use that value to determine if the user has clicked it before. RubenKan 3615 — 7y

You can use data store to save the value of the gui if it changes overtime or you set that they can change it but if it always stays the same you can save the value if its visible or not and then GetAsync. If you're confused about saving go here http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Data_store. NovusDev 25 — 7y

From your explanation, I'm assuming that you want a gui button that runs a local script after being clicked. After it is clicked for the first time, you then want the local script to run every time the player joins the game again. To do this you will need both a local script inside the gui button, and a server script in ServerScriptService

Try having this inside the local script:

function runScript()
   --enter the local script you wish to run here
end)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   runScript()
   game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("onButtonPress"):FireServer("")
end)
local hasPressed = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("checkButtonPressed"):InvokeServer("")
if hasPressed then
   runScript()
   script.Parent.Visible = false --remove this if you dont want the button to go invisible if they've already pressed
end

and this in the server script:

local onButtonPress = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
onButtonPress.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
onButtonPress.Name = "onButtonPress"
local checkButtonPress = Instance.new("RemoteFunction")
checkButtonPress.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
checkButtonPress.Name = "checkButtonPress"
local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("HasClicked")

onButtonPress.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
   ds:SetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId),true)
end)
local function check(plr)
   local hasPressed = ds:GetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId))
   return hasPressed
end
checkButtonPress.OnServerInvoke = check

This may have some typos, because believe it or not I'm on tablet, but hopefully it will give an outline of how it would work.
