Couldn't get much help in other forums. I have a problem with my GUI frames, So, Within a ScreenGUI named "Map" I have 2 children, another Screengui named "A" and a frame named "frame". The problem is, when ever I try to click a button within "A", nothing changes. I tried setting an output, that if the mouse leaves the GUI, it will close it and print something.. Diddnt work.. I then moved the screen GUI "A" outside of the parent, and it responds... I set the ZIndex of everything in the "A" Gui to 2, and everything else is 0.. http://prntscr.com/74x4f9

I'm not postive on this but I think I remember something about Guis Zindex not being compatible with those of that of their parents and Guis need to all be in the same generation for Zindex to take effect. Maybe I'm thinking of something different.

The ZIndex tells your computer in what order to draw each GUI element. If more than one GUI object has the same ZIndex, they will be drawn in order according to order of them being added. ZIndex of one will be drawn first, then whatever will be drawn overtop if it.

The GUI goes to the front, it does not allow me to click on it though.

From the looks of it, you need to remove the second ScreenGui "A" and have the button a child of "Map". A screenGui in a screengui wont allow for the objects to be interacted with. I have had the same problem. Instead of using another screenGui to store the buttons, use frames that are sized scaled to your screen.

ZIndex represents the order on the X-axis the guis are in. Hence the name Z-Index. The higher the ZIndex, the farther up the gui is in order
