      <guid>https://dev.to/totallyprogrammingpro1/how-to-make-roblox-ui-3e5</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 1: Make the UI
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open Roblox Studio&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the Explorer, go to StarterGui&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Insert a ScreenGui and rename it to &lt;code&gt;MainMenuGui&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inside &lt;code&gt;MainMenuGui&lt;/code&gt;, insert a Frame and rename it to &lt;code&gt;MainFrame&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inside &lt;code&gt;MainFrame&lt;/code&gt;, insert:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A TextLabel named &lt;code&gt;Title&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A TextButton named &lt;code&gt;PlayButton&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;


&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  UI settings you should change
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MainFrame&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Size: &lt;code&gt;{1, 0}, {1, 0}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BackgroundColor3: dark gray or whatever you want&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BorderSizePixel: &lt;code&gt;0&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Title&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Text: &lt;code&gt;MY GAME&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TextScaled: &lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Size: &lt;code&gt;{0.6, 0}, {0.2, 0}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Position: &lt;code&gt;{0.2, 0}, {0.15, 0}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BackgroundTransparency: &lt;code&gt;1&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PlayButton&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Text: &lt;code&gt;PLAY&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TextScaled: &lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Size: &lt;code&gt;{0.3, 0}, {0.12, 0}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Position: &lt;code&gt;{0.35, 0}, {0.5, 0}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At this point, if you press Play in Studio, you should see the menu.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 2: Main menu script
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Insert a LocalScript&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Put it inside &lt;code&gt;MainMenuGui&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Script code
&lt;/h3&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight lua"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="kd"&gt;local&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;player&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;game&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Players&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;LocalPlayer&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;local&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;gui&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;script&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Parent&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;local&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;mainFrame&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;gui&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;WaitForChild&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"MainFrame"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;local&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;playButton&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;mainFrame&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;WaitForChild&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"PlayButton"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="n"&gt;playButton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;MouseButton1Click&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Connect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="k"&gt;function&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="n"&gt;mainFrame&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Visible&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kc"&gt;false&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="nb"&gt;print&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Game Started"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="k"&gt;end&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;






&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How this script works
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;LocalScripts run on the player’s computer, which is required for UI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;code&gt;script.Parent&lt;/code&gt; is the ScreenGui&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;code&gt;WaitForChild&lt;/code&gt; makes sure the UI exists before using it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;code&gt;MouseButton1Click&lt;/code&gt; runs when the button is clicked&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Setting &lt;code&gt;Visible&lt;/code&gt; to false hides the menu instantly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No tricks, no magic.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 3: Lock the player until Play is pressed (optional)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want the player to not move until they click Play, do this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to StarterPlayer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open StarterPlayerScripts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Insert a LocalScript
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Script code
&lt;/h3&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight lua"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="kd"&gt;local&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;player&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;game&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Players&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;LocalPlayer&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;local&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;character&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;player&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Character&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ow"&gt;or&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;player&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;CharacterAdded&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Wait&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;local&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;humanoid&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;character&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;WaitForChild&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Humanoid"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="n"&gt;humanoid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;WalkSpeed&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="n"&gt;humanoid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;JumpPower&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="kd"&gt;local&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;gui&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;player&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;PlayerGui&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;WaitForChild&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"MainMenuGui"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;local&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;frame&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;gui&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;WaitForChild&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"MainFrame"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="n"&gt;frame&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;GetPropertyChangedSignal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Visible"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;Wait&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="n"&gt;humanoid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;WalkSpeed&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;16&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="n"&gt;humanoid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;JumpPower&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;50&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;






&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What this script is doing
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Player spawns&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Movement is disabled&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Script waits until the menu frame becomes invisible&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once Play is clicked, movement is restored&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a very standard Roblox setup.&lt;/p&gt;
