Is there a way to make a gui close automatically if another one is opened? I'm creating a menu screen and currently if a gui is open and you press another button, it will just layer over the top of the previously opened gui and you have to close it manually. I tried coding it myself but it would just bug out and make you click multiple times in order for the guis to transition. Here is my code:

local button1 = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Photos -- Change frame names to applicable ones
local button2 = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Teleporters
local button3 = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Updates

-- Script --

local Button = script.Parent
local MainFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Credits

MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "In", "Sine", .1, false)

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if MainFrame.Visible == false then
        if button1.Visible or button2.Visible or button3.Visible == true then
            button1:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "In", "Back", 1, false)
            button2:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "In", "Back", 1, false)
            button3:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "In", "Back", 1, false)
            wait(1)
        end
        MainFrame.Visible = true
        MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.374, 0, 0, 0), "Out", "Back", 1, false)
    else
        MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "In", "Back", 1, false)
        wait(1)
        MainFrame.Visible = false
    end
end)

this section of the code is the part where i attempted to do it myself:

if button1.Visible or button2.Visible or button3.Visible == true then
            button1:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "In", "Back", 1, false)
            button2:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "In", "Back", 1, false)
            button3:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0), "In", "Back", 1, false)
            wait(1)
        end

Did my script not work ؟

[fallow owl]

No the animation worked! Im just having trouble with another issue now

Im testing this out on one of my old game guis

the issue im having now is that im trying to make it so if a frame is already open, when another button is clicked it goes away

but the code that i made for it is kinda buggy

not sure why tho

[tiny hawk]

can you show me all the frames ?

[fallow owl]

yeah! one sec sorry

this is the code i added to this script to make already visible frames go away before the one being opened appears

andd let me send the video

if you look closely you can see it works fine the first time but the 2nd/3rd time i try to click on another button it takes a few clicks to work

[minor ocean]

Here is something I use most of the times (Im not hope so I will do it from 0 on mobile)

local guis = {} --a table with every gui you want to ge closed and opened

function openGui(x)
    for _,v in pairs(guis) do
        if v ~= x then
            v.Visible = false
       end
    end
    if x then
        x.Visible = true
    end
end

And just run the function with the variabe as first argument ( if you want to close every gui dont pass any arguments)

[fallow owl]

okay

would that script work with tweening?

[minor ocean]

Ofc, you could add tween and all that with a few more lines

[minor ocean]

Yea

[fallow owl]

kk! ill see if it works :)

question, is there a specific place i should insert it in my code? i just wanna make sure im doing this right

[minor ocean]

Huh... These kind of question shouldnt exit lol

[fallow owl]

also sorry im a bit confused on how to do this correctly because im a beginner at scripting

sorry

[minor ocean]

The variable could be anywhere ABOVE the function
The function could be anywhere and called from everywhere inside the script because is like a "global script" function (if it had local you couldnt use it above the function itself)

[fallow owl]

ok

does this look right? im sorry i dont think i understand how this works im not used to this code

[tiny hawk]

@fallow owl cnn you show me all your frames in the mune frame

[fallow owl]

okay

in the explorer yes?

[tiny hawk]

yes

[fallow owl]

red arrows are frames im testing with and pink arrow is script

[tiny hawk]

ok wait 1m

[fallow owl]

kk

[tiny hawk]

try this ```lua
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local button = script.Parent
local munu = button.Parent.Parent.Parent
local targFrame -- put here the frame you want to open it when you click on button and close others

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
for i , v in munu:GetChildren() do
if v ~= targFrame then
local closeTween = ts:Create(v, TweenInfo(0.5) , {Position = UDim2.fromScale()}) -- put the Position here
frameT:Play()
end
end
task.wait(0.5)
local openTween = ts:Create(targFrame, TweenInfo(0.5) , {Position = UDim2.fromScale()}) -- put the Position here
openTween:Play()
end)

[fallow owl]

ok

one sec

is this normal

[tiny hawk]

sorry its ```lua
closeTween:Play()

[fallow owl]

its okay! one sec

its not working :(

[tiny hawk]

can you show me the script you use ?

[fallow owl]

yes one sec

[tiny hawk]

this is the error you cant use this valu to udim2.fromScale

[fallow owl]

oh ok

then what do i put there

im confuse

[tiny hawk]

the first put it (1 , 0) the secound put it (0.374 , 0)

[fallow owl]

ok

[simple island]

** You are now Level 5! **

[fallow owl]

it still wont work :( it may be an issue with my gui or something

[tiny hawk]

can you send your gui i will scriptng it for you

or i ll try to make same screen and script it

[tiny hawk]

maby if you use this its will work ```lua
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local button = script.Parent
local munu = button.Parent.Parent.Parent
local targFrame -- put here the frame you want to open it when you click on button and close others

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
for i , v in munu:GetChildren() do
if v.Name ~= targFrame.Nmae then
local closeTween = ts:Create(v, TweenInfo(0.5) , {Position = UDim2.fromScale()}) -- put the Position here
frameT:Play()
end
end
task.wait(0.5)
local openTween = ts:Create(targFrame, TweenInfo(0.5) , {Position = UDim2.fromScale()}) -- put the Position here
openTween:Play()
end)

just change the Positions and targFrame

[fallow owl]

it still doesnt work

its okay

thank u for trying

i really appreciate it

[tiny hawk]

@fallow owl Finally the script works , This is what you want , right ؟

[fallow owl]

yeah

howd u make it work?

it didnt work for me

and is there a way to apply a tweening style to it? (sine, back, elastic, etc)

[tiny hawk]

but you cant close it 🙃 you need another script to close frame

[fallow owl]

i have a script that can close the frame so thats no problemo

[fallow owl]

did you change anything in the script or is it the same? asking so i know if im using the correct one still or not

[tiny hawk]

i chcnge it idk why for loop dont work its better way to do this but ist dont work , I found another way

[fallow owl]

can u send the updated script?

[tiny hawk]

let me to make the script work for u gui

[fallow owl]

okay

do u want me to publish my gui as a model and send tghe link so you can do it directly on my gui? would that be easier?

[tiny hawk]

no just save it as file on your pc

[fallow owl]

okay

some parts are still unfinished so if it looks weird thats why

this is the script im working on

[tiny hawk]

@fallow owl can i delete the useless scripts ?

[fallow owl]

yes :)

[tiny hawk]

whats buttons shuld i script and for whats frames ?

x buton --> xframe // b button --> b frame /// like this

[fallow owl]

these frames and these buttons

the placeholder buttons are for the "teleporters" and "updates" frames

u can skip those

so mainly just credits & photos

[tiny hawk]

???
Credits button ---> Credits Frame
Photos butoon ----> Photos frmae
Placeholder1 buttom ----> Teleporters frmae
Placeholder2 buttom ----> Teleporters frmae

[fallow owl]

yeah just dont do teleporters, updates, and the placeholders

so do these ones
Credits button ---> Credits Frame
Photos butoon ----> Photos frmae

sorry if i made it confusing

[tiny hawk]

try it

ask me if it dont work

[fallow owl]

okay one sec :)

nope still didnt work :( did it work for you?

[tiny hawk]

i am using the same script

[fallow owl]

so it worked for you then?

thats so weird

[tiny hawk]

your system have broblems It prevents the GUI from working

[fallow owl]

wdym?

[tiny hawk]

your scripts

[fallow owl]

could you possibly sceren record what it looks like when you push the buttons?

if it works?

[tiny hawk]

its not work on your gui because your gui screen have scripts idk what is it do but its prevents the gui from work

its have alot of bugs

[fallow owl]

thats weird

darn it

oh well

thank you for trying

i appreciate it

[tiny hawk]

Maybe if you give me a detailed explanation of the purpose of the GUI i ll I will rescript it completely for you at a later time

[fallow owl]

nono its okay you dont have to do that, ill figure it out eventually

thank you very much though

i really do appreciate your help

[tiny hawk]

ok good luck Just don't stop trying , When I started learning scripting My scripts contained dozens of bugs , now i make sript 500 code Without a single bug
