how to make that when i press textButton other textButtons will appear? | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

plush lake May 30, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

I've got SurfaceGUI on part and inside that part there are textbuttons, i can't think of script that will solve this problem. there are 3 main buttons (Semi Final 1, Semi Final 2 and Grand Final). i want to make something like this: when i press Semi Final 1 textbuttons will appear (not all, ones i want), when i press Semi Final 2 - other textbuttons will appear etc.

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 1:32 PM

#

would smth like this work (customiseable)

#

local surfaceGui = script.Parent

-- References to main buttons
local semiFinal1Button = surfaceGui.MainButtons.SemiFinal1Button
local semiFinal2Button = surfaceGui.MainButtons.SemiFinal2Button
local grandFinalButton = surfaceGui.MainButtons.GrandFinalButton

-- References to frames with respective buttons
local semiFinal1Frame = surfaceGui.SemiFinal1Frame
local semiFinal2Frame = surfaceGui.SemiFinal2Frame
local grandFinalFrame = surfaceGui.GrandFinalFrame

-- Helper function to hide all frames
local function hideAllFrames()
semiFinal1Frame.Visible = false
semiFinal2Frame.Visible = false
grandFinalFrame.Visible = false
end

-- Button connections
semiFinal1Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
hideAllFrames()
semiFinal1Frame.Visible = true
end)

semiFinal2Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
hideAllFrames()
semiFinal2Frame.Visible = true
end)

grandFinalButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
hideAllFrames()
grandFinalFrame.Visible = true
end)

-- Optionally hide all frames on start
hideAllFrames()

local surfaceGui = script.Parent in the surface gui

plush lake May 30, 2025, 1:47 PM

#

Omgg why it doesn’t worki

#

Work*

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 1:48 PM

#

change the names in the scipt? ie. grandFinalFrame like u might not have something called that>

plush lake May 30, 2025, 1:51 PM

#

What does main button mean here?

#

Nvm

#

@jovial pier what is frame here?

#

SemiFinal1Frame

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 1:53 PM

#

wdym

plush lake May 30, 2025, 1:54 PM

#

I mean I don’t have anything like SemiFinal1Frame or semifinal2frame, but it doesn’t red it, so what is that for?

#

local semiFinal1Frame = surfaceGui.SemiFinal1Frame local semiFinal2Frame = surfaceGui.SemiFinal2Frame local grandFinalFrame = surfaceGui.GrandFinalFrame this part

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

those are the variables for the frames. Idk why it doesnt error for those but if you change the last bit after the surface GUi. to the name of ur actual buttons that are inside the surfacegui

#

and then under each press make the ones you want visible, visible semiFinal1Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
hideAllFrames()
semiFinal1Frame.Visible = true
end)

#

change semiFinal1Frame.Visible = true

plush lake May 30, 2025, 1:56 PM

#

`local surfaceGui = script.Parent

-- References to main buttons
local semiFinal1Button = surfaceGui.SemiFinal1Button
local semiFinal2Button = surfaceGui.SemiFinal2Button
local grandFinalButton = surfaceGui.GrandFinalButton

-- References to frames with respective buttons
local semiFinal1Frame = surfaceGui.SemiFinal1Frame
local semiFinal2Frame = surfaceGui.SemiFinal2Frame
local grandFinalFrame = surfaceGui.GrandFinalFrame

-- Helper function to hide all frames
local function hideAllFrames()
semiFinal1Frame.Visible = false
semiFinal2Frame.Visible = false
grandFinalFrame.Visible = false
end

-- Button connections
semiFinal1Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
hideAllFrames()
semiFinal1Frame.Visible = true
end)

semiFinal2Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
hideAllFrames()
semiFinal2Frame.Visible = true
end)

grandFinalButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
hideAllFrames()
grandFinalFrame.Visible = true
end)

-- Optionally hide all frames on start
hideAllFrames()` its like this rn. all i changed was button names in script it was main button.SemiFinal1 Button and i deleted MainButtons

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 1:57 PM

#

ok

#

send me a pic of the layout of ur surface gui

#

like whats inside of it

#

in the exploreer

plush lake May 30, 2025, 1:58 PM

#

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 1:58 PM

#

which ones do you want visble when you press each

#

looks like ur doing it well tbf

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

When i press semi final 1 i want visible to be: Albania, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands.

Semi Final 2 (semi final 1 buttons will disappear) - Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine

Grand final - “Coming Soon…”

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

under semiFinal1Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() write surfaceGui.Albania.Visible = true surfaceGui.Belgium.Visible = true etc and write the others in semi final2 and grand final to false e.g. surfaceGui.Norway.Visible = false inside of semiFinal1Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() but under semiFinal2Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() do the opposite w grand final also not visible. and grand final turn everything to visible false apart from coming soon

it might take a while

#

theres probably faster ways to do it

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

im a fast writer

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

but thats the way id do it lol

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

hi

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

hi

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

let me try to help

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

tyy

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

yeah im kinda new to developing ur prolly better xd

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

js gotta make smth sure

#

its ok I can make u understand it aswell

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

tyy

#

its like my dream to make Eurovision game lol where ppl can perform

#

also events

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

so

#

when u press semi final 1

#

u want which ui's to be visible

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

@jovial pier surfaceGui.Albania.Visible = true DO I have to write it under hideAllFrames()?

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:08 PM

#

feral mantle u want which ui's to be visible

textbuttons:Albania, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands

#

this is their names

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:08 PM

#

i dont think it matters

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:08 PM

#

feral mantle u want which ui's to be visible

do u need board photo too, for better understanding?

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:08 PM

#

ok wait

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:08 PM

#

i dont think the frames are needed tbf

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

its easy

#

u just have to check when the button is clicked

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

well i literally suck at scripting 😭

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

and then just turn invisible on or off

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

yeah thats what i thought

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

ok so lets say

#

as example

#

u press semi final 1

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

but that means you have to right out like 26 countries

#

visible nonvisible

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

yea

#

but also no

#

for that there is for loops

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:10 PM

#

?

#

o

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:10 PM

#

so u dont have to get EVERY text button

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:10 PM

#

I haven't looked into loops like this b4

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:10 PM

#

so

#

the scrolling frame

#

has children

#

and the children are textbutton

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:11 PM

#

yes, children are textButtons

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:11 PM

#

so u mean like split into 3 folders find children that are textbuttons and make them visible/non-visible?

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:11 PM

#

jovial pier so u mean like split into 3 folders find children that are textbuttons and make ...

thats actually smart 😭

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:11 PM

#

so what u do is for ,_ textbuttons in pairs(scrollingframe:GetChildren()) do
if textbuttons:IsA("TextButton") then
textbuttons.Visible = false

end

#

this will

#

make every textbutton inside scrolling frame invisible

#

and

#

if u want as example australia to be visible

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

yeah so if u split it into 3 folders one for each then you need each to have a loop to make all children visible/non-visible on press

feral mantle May 30, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

u do under the textbutton.Visible = false
if textbuttons.Name == "Australia"
then textbuttons.Visible = true

#

end

#

wait let me do

jovial pier May 30, 2025, 2:13 PM

#

makes sense

plush lake May 30, 2025, 2:13 PM

#

not lying its literally first thing i understood in lua (not mentioning basic ones, like if, print..)

manic condor May 30, 2025, 2:13 PM

#
