bsbllnut Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Is there a way to make a parent GUI hide once you have activated a child GUI if they are in the same file? I can get it to operate with seperate files but for simplicity sake would like to keep me script as concise and in one place as possible. I am very new to auto it and I'm coming along so any help would be appreciated Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
