it did create a screen gui and a frame but the frame is invisible. how to make the frame visible?
you are creating the gui in startergui, because you are creating the gui on a key press, i assume this is DURING game, the startergui is basically just a storage service that clones all of its children into a player when he/she joins, move it to the PLAYERGUI instead, im also assuming you are using a localscript or else userinputservice wont work
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(inputobject,gameProcessedEvent)
--case
if inputobject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
local file = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
file.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local paper = Instance.new("Frame")
paper.Size = UDim2.new(0,100,0,100)
paper.Visible = true
paper.Parent = file
end
end)
To make the frame visible, it's as simple as this:
local paper = Instance.new("Frame")
paper.Visible = true
file.BackgroundTransparency = 0 -- Just to make sure that it's really visible.
Oh, and I also suggest you make the ScreenGui's Enabled property to true by doing something like this:
local file = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
file.Enabled = true
Because the frame's visibility won't matter if the ScreenGui was Disabled. Also take note that if this doesn't work, it may be because you're using the StarterGui instead of the PlayerGui
And don't forget to set it's size.
What he's doing wrong is line 5, he should set the gui parent to the PlayerGui
Exactly
Use PlayerGui instead of StarterGui. Example:
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(inputobject,gameProcessedEvent)
--case
if inputobject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
local file = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
file.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local paper = Instance.new("Frame")
paper.Size = UDim2.new(0,100,0,100)
paper.Visible = true
paper.Parent = file
end
end)

Yeah.
