How to make a menu box appear and disappear?
Alright, so basically I'm working on my newest game and I've come across some issues. The shops in the game are made of surface GUI's. I have it so when you click on "Purchase Credits" a list comes down, but I don't know how to make the list disappear.
local Button = script.Parent
local Small = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Credits.Small
local Big = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Credits.Big
local Opened = false
function onClickToOpen()
Opened = true
if (Opened == true) then
wait(0.5)
Small.Visible = true
wait(0.5)
Big.Visible = true
else
wait(0.5)
Big.Visible = false
wait(0.5)
Small.Visible = false
end
end
function onClickToClose()
Opened = false
end
if Opened == false and Button.MouseButton1Down:connect(onClickToOpen)then
wait(0)
end
if Opened == true and Button.MouseButton1Down:connect(onClickToClose)then
wait(0)
end
If you could help me out that'd be greatly appreciated!

(Explanation after example)
--Define variables
local small = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Credits.Small
local big = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Credits.Big
local opened = false
function openList() --your function
if opened == false then --if it is closed when clicked
opened = true --set the toggle to true
small.Visible = true --make small visible
wait(.5) --you had the wait in the original so I assume you want it there
big.Visible = true --make big visible
else
opened = false --set the toggle to false
big.Visible = false --make big invisible
wait(.5)
small.Visible = false --make small invisible
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(openList) --assuming that the script's parent is the button, this should connect the clicking to the function
I left notes throughout this example script explaining what certain parts do.
I can tell you that the reason your script did not take out the list was because of how the onClickToClose function only changed the variable Opened. In order to remove the list, you must not only change the variable, but make the certain GUI parts invisible. This can all be done in one function, which in this example is triggered every time the button is clicked. You were on the right track, though!
If it doesn't work, try posting the output errors so I can help you fix it :)
I hope this helped you!
