UDim2

[naive bone]

mouse.X is offset I think

[solar pollen]

i doubt.

[topaz chasm]

** You are now Level 3! **

[solar pollen]

though i am brand new to rlua

UDim2 uses wierd scaling

[naive bone]

I have 4 years of experience

[solar pollen]

its not pixel to pixel on screen

i need this

[naive bone]

It uses scaling and offset in the same value

[solar pollen]

then whta do i do

[pine kite]

^

[solar pollen]

wat...

[pine kite]

thats correct

scale is different

[naive bone]

mouse.X is offsett, haven't used mouse pos for a while

[solar pollen]

alr

[pine kite]

because it is based on the size of the screen

[solar pollen]

i think i got it to wrk

[pine kite]

offset is based on pixels

[naive bone]

Yes, precentage

[solar pollen]

-- Show crosshair
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local screen = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize
local crosshair = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("FirstPerson").Crosshair
crosshair.Position = UDim2.new(mouse.X/screen.X, 0, mouse.Y/screen.Y, 0)
player.PlayerGui.FirstPerson.Enabled = true```

[naive bone]

Like 0.5 is half of the screen independent of the size

[pine kite]

make the anchor point for the cross hair 0.5,0.5

[solar pollen]

i checked

its directly in the centre

thanks for the help.

[solar pollen]

no clue what this thread meant

[naive bone]

Just set the anchor point to 0.5?

[pine kite]

?

[naive bone]

Oh you already said that sorry

[solar pollen]

no clue what an anchor point is sorry

[solar pollen]

i think this suffices thoughj

but id listen to a better solution

[naive bone]

It's where the position of the image is located

[solar pollen]

vector2?

that strangely offset it

about 3/4 of the screen

[naive bone]

If you want to place it in the middle of your screen just make the position x scale 0.5, y scale 0.5

Why you need the mouse position for that

[solar pollen]

crosshair.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)? this?

[naive bone]

That will place it in the middle yes

[solar pollen]

it seems oof

off

[naive bone]

wdym

Is the anchor point 0.5, 0.5

[solar pollen]

yup

for some reason

its aligned on the X but not the Y

[pine kite]

this doesnt work

i just tried it

[solar pollen]

i reaslied that.

[naive bone]

Is it 0.5, 0.5 or 0.5, 0?

[solar pollen]

i swear it worekd once

then it turned out it was random.

0.5, 0

[naive bone]

0.5, 0.5

Then ur good

[pine kite]

i got it working

[solar pollen]

its even worser now

[solar pollen]

as far as my knowledge goes, the 2nd param is the multiplyer?

[pine kite]

i did this ```lua
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local screen = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize
local crosshair = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui").Crosshair
crosshair.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)

[naive bone]

I just checked and it works

[solar pollen]

iv had that exact code

[solar pollen]

its a bit offset on the Y T_T

[naive bone]

You have the anchor point bad

[solar pollen]

maybe bc of roblox bar or smething

[pine kite]

no offset needed

[naive bone]

No

[pine kite]

you can do it with just scale

[naive bone]

@pine kite I'll handle this

[pine kite]

dude i literally just did it

[naive bone]

I did 5 minutes ago

[solar pollen]

its offset.

[solar pollen]

...

[naive bone]

Yes

What's the problem

[solar pollen]

ill go figure it out myself

"whats the problem" lol

[pine kite]

oml

[bitter geyser]

…

it seems to work from what i can see

[naive bone]

If you set the position to 0.5, 0, 0.5, 0 and anchor point to 0.5, 0.5 it works

[naive bone]

exactly

[solar pollen]

bro check ur eyes

i give up

[pine kite]

thats using scale

[pine kite]

oml what is the problem

[naive bone]

And what's the problem with that

[pine kite]

you said to use offset

[naive bone]

Ik this guy is kinda bad explaining what he wants to achive. "I dont get how to convert mouse X & Y to UDim2 position"

I tried to answer that

First

[solar pollen]

i did not understand the concept of the UI elements

didnt realise they used %, my bad

[naive bone]

It's so simple

[solar pollen]

wowww 4years+ man

so simple

then help me solve this simple thing.

[pine kite]

literally any position on screen is a UDim2 position lol

[naive bone]

Read this again

[pine kite]

mb

[solar pollen]

-- Show crosshair
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local screen = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize
local crosshair = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("FirstPerson").Crosshair
crosshair.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)
player.PlayerGui.FirstPerson.Enabled = true```

this is the half working code

X is aligned, Y is a bit missaligned

[pine kite]

what isnt working then?

[solar pollen]

Y seems to be a bit lower for some reason

[naive bone]

This is not what I've bin working on for 4 years. This is the basics

[pine kite]

mine isnt

[solar pollen]

BRO

[pine kite]

that perfectly in the middle

[solar pollen]

WDYUM IT IS MISSLAIGNED

U WANT PRROOF LOL

[naive bone]

No it's not

Ur doing it wrong

[solar pollen]

i can get my pain.net out

[pine kite]

dude i think ur a bit gofy

[naive bone]

I agree

[solar pollen]

same

its such a trivial task and for some reason this image wont align thats why.

[naive bone]

Bro, it works why are you making an issue of nothing

[solar pollen]

i cant raycast with it if its not aligned

i can, but the visuals will be off

its saying "its good enough,"

[naive bone]

You know it's in the middle because you set the scale to Udim2.new(0.5,0,0.5,0)

So it's in the middle there you have it

Nothing to worry about

Move on

I'll stop wasting my time

[topaz chasm]

** You are now Level 12! **

[pine kite]

not misaligned

[solar pollen]

bro

LOL

[pine kite]

that's half the screen

[solar pollen]

ur using a gui element, to check if a gui is in the center, by making it at the center

[solar pollen]

u can see its off.

[naive bone]

Set ignoreguilnset to true

[pine kite]

go onto test and then go onto device and then select average laptop

[naive bone]

It's perfectly in the middle

[pine kite]

thats not accurate

you have to check gui on the device mode

[pine kite]

ur so dumb

[naive bone]

I always keep in avarage laptop mode when working with GUI's

[topaz chasm]

** You are now Level 4! **

[solar pollen]

the red thing

[naive bone]

Always

[solar pollen]

is the perfect pixel centre

X is aligned

Y is offset

[naive bone]

ur a little dumb too

[pine kite]

fair

[solar pollen]

im the dumbest here guys

but its not aligned 😦

[naive bone]

It is

Want proof?

[solar pollen]

proof

[naive bone]

-- Show crosshair
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local screen = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize
local crosshair = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("FirstPerson").Crosshair
crosshair.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)
player.PlayerGui.FirstPerson.Enabled = true

That's your code and that's the proof

As you can see it's 0.5 which means half of screen

In the middle

[pine kite]

wait

[high osprey]

this looks so complicated

[naive bone]

It's basic

[high osprey]

my question looks like its simple compared to this

;-;

[naive bone]

It's very simple, I can make you understand

What's your question

[high osprey]

my question isnt abt this but ok ill just ask here

i have a script that runs all the way through with no error signs

but the npc isnt playing the walk animation

[solar pollen]

ayo get off my lawn

[high osprey]

mb bro ;-;

[solar pollen]

joke, the lawns been destroyed allready xd

[high osprey]

fr lol

[naive bone]

Your problem is solved anyways

[pine kite]

ok i've done it

i've got it dead centre

[naive bone]

wdym you've done it

[pine kite]

perfectly

[naive bone]

IT'S ALREADY IN THE CENTER

[high osprey]

;-;

[solar pollen]

USE PAINT.NET

COUNT THE PIXELS OK

IV DONE IT

[pine kite]

it shows the pixels

[high osprey]

ples help i am confused asf

[pine kite]

the yellow lines

[naive bone]

Completly in the center is like 499, 498 but it's close

This is all just basic knowlege

[high osprey]

I am on CrazieNewbs lawn and asking my question here

[pine kite]

if you want it exactly in the middle you have to make the size of the ui 0,0,0,0

[naive bone]

ok bro what the hell

[topaz chasm]

** You are now Level 6! **

[pine kite]

look

[naive bone]

You guys are far from it

[solar pollen]

ur question isnt gonna be answerd here, its a warzone man

[high osprey]

😦

[solar pollen]

take a screenshot, and then work it out

[pine kite]

683*2 = 1366

[naive bone]

THE ANSWER IS 0.5, 0.5!!!!!

[high osprey]

why r there so many ppl on ur question lol

[solar pollen]

dont use roblox tools to work out a roblox error

[pine kite]

wrong

thats not dead centre

no idiot

look at the screen shot

it shows the pixels

[naive bone]

Bro what

This is actually insane

How are you this stupid

[pine kite]

366*2=768

what is the size of the screen

1366x768

booyah

i win

ez

[high osprey]

;-;

please

calm down

[naive bone]

💀

[pine kite]

im srry

im just very excited

[high osprey]

fair

[pine kite]

that i was able to do it

cos im so handsome and smart

[high osprey]

why is everyone on this question

[pine kite]

and stuff

[high osprey]

i am so confused

[naive bone]

Bro

You just proved me right

[high osprey]

and why r there so many chats on it

[high osprey]

bro just stop

its fine

[pine kite]

cos it was actually quite more complex than it first seemed

[pine kite]

who proved you right?

[naive bone]

Yes it's 0.5

[pine kite]

no

the position is

{0.5, 0},{0.5, -18}

[naive bone]

why -18?

Bro what

[pine kite]

i tried it on iphone as well

[pine kite]

idk

[solar pollen]

Yo

IT WORKED

IT WORKS

I LVOE YOU

WHY DOES IT WORK

lol.

[naive bone]

💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

[pine kite]

i just moved it down by one pixel every time until the y axis was half the screen

[solar pollen]

u think itll break with dif resolutions?

[pine kite]

srry but it seems my 5 months of experience is superior to your 4 yrs

[naive bone]

If you guys actually believe that's true. Please try in game

I'm dying

[pine kite]

laughs hysterically

[solar pollen]

bro im dying that u are so stubbern

majestic has joined my side and realised it was not centered xd

[pine kite]

works

[naive bone]

Wait

[pine kite]

thats perfectly centered

to the pixel

[pine kite]

just a bit of brute force

[solar pollen]

perfectly aligned

to topleft

😄

[solar pollen]

stop using the guitool, to check if a gui is centered'

[pine kite]

?

thats what i did

[naive bone]

hahahahhaha

You guys confused now?

[solar pollen]

urs actually worked for some reason

[solar pollen]

yes but ur code doesnt work 😄

[naive bone]

Well guess what it didn't

My code worked please

please just realize how wrong you are

I don't want you moving on thinking roblox is wrong and ur right

Listen to urself

[solar pollen]

it hought we proved we are right rip

[naive bone]

How?

Look at the image i sent

[solar pollen]

@pine kite

18 pixels is exactly half of the roblox top bar

this bar

0.5, 0.5 ignores the top bar

[naive bone]

JUST SET THE SCREEN GUI TO IGNORE GUILSET

[solar pollen]

this has to be the most chaotic thread

WHAAT

[naive bone]

THAT SIMPLE

[solar pollen]

HOW

[pine kite]

oml

[naive bone]

IDIOT

[pine kite]

aint no way boi

[naive bone]

hahahha

[solar pollen]

U HAD THE ISSUE TOO

U BRUTE FORCED IT LOL

[solar pollen]

IM THE NOOB D:<

[naive bone]

Yes you are

@pine kite too

[pine kite]

i had to brute force it anyways

no

[naive bone]

Finally

You understand

[pine kite]

mine is literally perfectly in the centre

[naive bone]

I finally made you realize you were wrong

[pine kite]

i still dont understand why you think im wrong

[naive bone]

And let the facts take over you

[solar pollen]

it worlked and im using 0.5, 0.5

[naive bone]

Yes

Exactly

[solar pollen]

nope, i wasnt

[naive bone]

You were?

[solar pollen]

u just changed a property without saying anything

[pine kite]

look at the size of the screen and the read the number on the yellow lines

the numbers are half of the screen

[solar pollen]

im never asking for help again i just cause pain and suffering oml

[naive bone]

Wait

just wait

[naive bone]

Here

[solar pollen]

what do i do about the width and height lol

[pine kite]

bro realised that he's wrong lmao

[pine kite]

you make another gui inside of it

[solar pollen]

LOL U EIDTED THE MSG

[solar pollen]

HE EDITED IT

[naive bone]

wait what I did?

[solar pollen]

lol

[pine kite]

BAGAGAGAGAHGAHGAHGAGAHGAHGA

[solar pollen]

idc what u say next u edited u have no proof surender

[naive bone]

Mabye I typed something wrong!!!???🙀

Anyways, I said that 0.5, 0.5 was right the whole time wasn't I?

And you said it was wrong...

And who was right...

ME

[pine kite]

YOU ARE WRONG

[naive bone]

Me

[pine kite]

OH MY GOD

[naive bone]

What

[pine kite]

YOU'RE WRONG

[naive bone]

Bro how are you still not convinced

[pine kite]

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU

[naive bone]

💀

[pine kite]

please

[naive bone]

How are you this stupid

[pine kite]

look at the screen shot

[solar pollen]

ur not using the ignore thing

[naive bone]

That's not the issue here

[pine kite]

the distances from x = 0 and y = 0 are half of the proportions of the screen

[solar pollen]

also its close enough

u just suck at placing the dor

its meant to be topleft of the image not middle

[pine kite]

???

[solar pollen]

how do u even get that fancy lines

xd

[pine kite]

dude the image is one pixel

[naive bone]

The thing you are doing wrong is not conciedring size can't be 0. And since roblox is rounding down it set to 1 smaller. It's actually 682.9999

Understand now?

[solar pollen]

how do i compensate for the width and height? peakman please?

[pine kite]

yeah but mine is more centered than yours

[naive bone]

No

[solar pollen]

since my height n width is 4 i gotta offset it by half

[pine kite]

the only reason its not always perfect is because you can have half a pixel

[naive bone]

It's not a half pixel

It's 0.0000000001 pixel

[solar pollen]

i have an idea guys

[naive bone]

Read this again

[pine kite]

im sorry you guys are idiots

[naive bone]

But I just proved you wrong

[pine kite]

show me yours

[naive bone]

Here

[pine kite]

lets look at the exact position

using pixels

[solar pollen]

oml i cnat close this post what.

[naive bone]

Don't do it

I want to make him understand

[solar pollen]

im running

[pine kite]

you are the one who doesnt understand

[naive bone]

When you take a screenshot you don't get best quality and it's inaccurate. If that's what ur thinking

[solar pollen]

WAT

[pine kite]

wait im confused

[solar pollen]

screenshots are pixelperfect if its a png xd

[pine kite]

what are you saying im wrong about

[pine kite]

?

[solar pollen]

only inacurate thing is anti aliasing when you zoom in

[naive bone]

Sorry, I don't understand images that well. But I can asure you Roblox is not wrong, you are

[solar pollen]

whats this argument about

[topaz chasm]

** You are now Level 5! **

[pine kite]

thats what im trying to say

[pine kite]

what are you talking about?

[solar pollen]

can we move to #🤡︱clownery lol

[naive bone]

I'm talking about the discussion we are having

How don't you understand that you fucking idiot

[pine kite]

so what am i wrong about then?

[naive bone]

You are wrong about 0.5, 0.5 being inaccurate

[pine kite]

i will show you what 0.5,0.5 looks like

[naive bone]

Fine

[pine kite]

wait when you say 0.5,0.5, are you talking about anchor point or position

[naive bone]

position

[pine kite]

this is 0.5,0.5

[naive bone]

Yes?

[solar pollen]

case closed

[bitter geyser]

quickly close the chat ;---;

[solar pollen]

1pixel off, unacceptable

[bitter geyser]

fr

[solar pollen]

how.

[bitter geyser]

right click the forum on the left

[solar pollen]

is 682 instead of 683 lol

[bitter geyser]

close post

[solar pollen]

close post reopens when any1 sends a msg lol

[pine kite]

bye then ig

[solar pollen]

LOL

iv sent so many msgs im lvl5

i was like lvl1

[solar pollen]

lmfao

lvl 2

[naive bone]

Don't close we don't have a solution czu he don't understand

[solar pollen]

it closes when every1 leaves, else it wojt

[naive bone]

Please just read what I’m sending. Trying to make you understand

Size can’t be 0

[solar pollen]

wat

target maj not me lol

i9 was kidding

[naive bone]

Roblox rounds the number down to 682

[solar pollen]

however

1366*0.5?

doesnt need rounding?

[naive bone]

The yellow line takes the dictance between the edge of the gui to the edge of the screen. The edge of the gui is not in the center

[solar pollen]

yes, topleft

[naive bone]

Top left?

[solar pollen]

thats the origin no?

[naive bone]

What do you mean

[solar pollen]

0.5 0.5 will be the topleft corner?

[naive bone]

😨

[solar pollen]

:v

[naive bone]

0.5, 0.5 is in the center

[solar pollen]

oh ur right mbad

[naive bone]

yeah

[solar pollen]

whats the size?

why is it 0,100 0, 100

[naive bone]

Because it’s set to thatå

[solar pollen]

what do the 0s represent

[naive bone]

scale

[solar pollen]

WAIT I AM RIGHT

[naive bone]

It’s scaleX, offsetX, scaleY, offsetY

[solar pollen]

oh

i see what u mean

0.5 0.5 is the topleft corner

but when using this tool

it takes the centre of the element

thats why hes wrong

[naive bone]

NO

[solar pollen]

yes

[naive bone]

I don’t know what ur saying now

[solar pollen]

if u disagree then ur wrong

watch

[naive bone]

How am I wrong, you don’t even know how it fully works

[solar pollen]

this image uses 0.5 0.5

[naive bone]

Yes

It’s in the middle

[solar pollen]

the centre is based on the top left corner right?

the centre is that wierd circle

in the topleft corner

[naive bone]

That’s what you mean

[solar pollen]

yes.

but the yellow lines, they are centred to the image

[naive bone]

That’s the anchor point🤦‍♂️

[solar pollen]

which is why this is wrong

yes.

anchor point is centre

[naive bone]

NO

[solar pollen]

...?

[solar pollen]

THEN WDYM

[naive bone]

Find anchor point as a property in the gui

Image

It’s almost at the top of the properties

[solar pollen]

anchor point default is 0 0

[naive bone]

Yes, top left

[solar pollen]

yes

[naive bone]

Set to 0.5, 0.5

Half half

[solar pollen]

when he was measuring his anchor point was 0 0

[naive bone]

Not why is wrong

He had 0.5,0.5

0.5,0.5 anchor point gives the same results

[topaz chasm]

** You are now Level 7! **

[naive bone]

here

[naive bone]

here i mean

Understand now?

[solar pollen]

at least this made me understand anchors

evertything works
