How do I make a GUI appear only when a player joins for the first time?
I want to make a in-game tutorial.
It is where once a player joins for the first time it will show up but if they rejoin the game it wont show up again.
Kind of like what "Robeats!" has but instead of a cutscene its just a GUI.
This is my UI : https://prnt.sc/rg1pgd
(I don't have any clue where to start)

Just as far as the GUI showing only once, you could do it several ways but adding a bool or some value would be an easy way of checking if a player completed the tutorial and you could datastore save it as well. ABK2017 406 — 4y

you'll have to use a DataStore for this, check if the player already has existing data, and if not, the datastore will create new data for the player and you can add the code of cloning the GUI from preferably ServerStorage to the PlayerGui
This is just an example:
local s, e = pcall(function()
DataFromStore = DataStore("DataStore-" .. Player.UserId)
end)
if s then
print("the player have existing data, Getting Data For: " .. Player.Name)
if DataFromStore then
print("Data Loaded For: " .. Player.Name)
else
print("Created New Data For: " .. Player.Name)
--game.ServerStorage.Tutorial:Clone().Parent = Player.PlayerGui
end
else
warn("Error Getting Data For: " .. Player.Name)
end
end)

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("FirstJoin")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local key = "user_"..plr.UserId
local data = ds:GetAsync(key) --Gets the player data
if data then --checks if the player have data
warn(plr.Name.." is back :D")--Player have data
else--Player dont have data
warn(plr.Name.." is new!")
warn("Creating Data for "..plr.Name)
ds:SetAsync(key,1) --Create data
end
end)
You need to use DataStoreService
