Why does my Screen GUI keep showing whenever I reset?

Asked by

I've tried:

function onClick()
    if script.Parent.Visible == true then
        script.Parent.Visible = false
    end
    if script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Visible == true then
        script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Visible = false
    end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClick)

So my problem is that whenever I reset it shows up again and I only want it to show up once when you first enter the game. Also Im kind of new to scripting so explaining would be a help but isn't necessary.

When a player's character dies, their PlayerGui and Backpack are cleared and replaced with whatever is currently in the place's StarterGui and StarterPack, aswell as what's in the player's StarterGear.

If you wish to only give the GUI to the player when they first join the game, you should put the GUI into ServerStorage and write a script which clones the GUI into any new players, using the PlayerAdded event.

For example,

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
    local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
    ServerStorage.TheGUI:Clone().Parent = PlayerGui
end)

The above script clones an instance, from ServerStorage, named 'TheGUI' and places it into the player's PlayerGui. We are using WaitForChild since when the PlayerAdded event is fired, the player's PlayerGui may not exist yet. WaitForChild combats this issue.

Okay so first is this a local script or just a regular script? And second where does the script/localscript placed? Thanks this seems promising :D Japhie 20 — 9y

In order to do this, we will have to declare the event PlayerAdded to detect when someone enters the game.

local gui = script.ScreenGui -- Location of GUI

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
gui:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui
end)

This is the script that I am using at the moment you could remove the filtering enabled if you are not using it. I hope this helps:-

function onHumanoidDied(property, plr)

    plrGui = plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ScreenGui")

    if plr~= nil and plrGui~=nil then   
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:Destroy()
    end

end

function onPlayerRespawn(property, plr)

        while plr and plr.Parent do
                if plr.Character then break end
            wait(1)
        end

        if not (plr and plr.Parent) then return end

   wait(1)
    if game.Workspace.FilteringEnabled then
        game.Workspace.FilteringEnabled = false
        wait(1)
        Workspace.ScreenGui:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui
        game.Workspace.FilteringEnabled = true
    else
        game.Workspace.FilteringEnabled = true
    end

end

function onPlayerEntered(plr)

        while plr and plr.Parent do
            if plr.Character then break end
            wait(1)
                end
       if not (plr and plr.Parent) then return end

        wait(1)
        game.Workspace.ScreenGui:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui

        plr.CharacterRemoving:connect(function(property) onHumanoidDied(property, plr) end)
        plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(property) onPlayerRespawn(property, plr) end)

end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)
