i am creating sort of a vendor in my game but i need to be able to close the GUI that pops up when i enter the trigger of the vendor. so basically i just need to know how to close certain GUI that i have on my screen, not all of it though because i have things such as health and gold on the screen although in another script. my script is:

var GUIopen : boolean = false;

function OnTriggerStay(other : Collider)
{
   if(other.collider.tag == "Player")
      {
	     GUIopen = true;
	  }
}

function OnGUI()
{

   if(GUIopen == true)
   {
   GUI.Box(Rect(100,90,300,100), "upgrades");
   if(GUI.Button(Rect(110,110,100,20), "plus 5 speed"))
      {
	     var go = GameObject.Find("player");
		 go.GetComponent(player_move).speed += 5;
	  }
	}
}

this is placed on the vendor

Instead of OnTriggerStay(Collider),
Use this:

function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
   {
      if(other.collider.tag == "Player")
         {
            GUIopen = true;
         }
   }

function OnTriggerExit(other : Collider)
   {
      if(other.collider.tag == "Player")
         {
            GUIopen = false;
         }
   }
