Visible

Value Type: bool

Description:

This property determines whether a GuiObject|GUI will render shapes, images and/or text on screen. If set to false, the GUI and all of its descedants (children) will not render.

The rendering of individual components of a GUI can be controlled individually through transparency properties such as GuiObject/BackgroundTransparency, TextLabel/TextTransparency and ImageLabel/ImageTransparency.

When this property is true, the GUI will be ignored by UIGridStyleLayout objects (such as UIGridLayout, UIListLayout and UITableLayout). In other words, the space that the element would otherwise occupy in the layout is used by other elements instead.

local function toggleWindowVisbility()
	-- Flip a boolean using the `not` keyword
	window.Visible = not window.Visible
end

toggleButton.Activated:Connect(toggleWindowVisbility)
closeButton.Activated:Connect(toggleWindowVisbility)
