theres no built in function for modal gui’s or pop-ups, so you can code it yourself using something like this:

var aboutusbox : boolean = false;
var mainmenu : boolean = true;

function OnGUI()
{
if(mainmenu)
{
if (GUI.Button(rect(10,10,100,200),"about us"))
{
aboutusbox = true;
mainmenu = false;
}
}
if(aboutusbox)
{
GUI.Label (Rect (25, 25, 100, 30), "About us stuff here");
}

thats a very simple code, you would have to add your own groups, areas, skins or styles and everything else of course.

I am aware using switch…case statements is far better than this method, but I’m not sure the proper use for them.

A third way is using helper functions, for example

function OnGUI()
{
if (GUI.Button(rect(10,10,100,200),"about us"))
{    
aboutusbox()
}
}

function aboutusbox()
GUI.Label(Rect (25, 25, 100, 30), "About us stuff here");
}
