I’m trying to make the center GUI take something then hide it with isVisible = false but the other controls still don’t work. What is locking them up, and how do I fix it?  
(some of the logic isn’t there because it’s server dependant)

(the problematic one overwhelming everything else is entrypanel on line 204, it’s the central 2 buttons and entry field)

Fixed it, the issue was with the text objects that weren’t in their own panels, so this fixed it:

It looks like you’ve created 2 text blocks with default height of 100%, so they’re covering the controls below them. If you make them shorter, for instance with height of “40px”, then the slider controls below them become usable. 🙂
