how do i check if a gui goes off the screen

[frozen musk]

    if currentgui.Position.X >= 0.98 then
        print("tofar")
    end```

[prime nymph]

Check if the GUI's AbsolutePosition is greater than the ScreenGui's AbsoluteSize property depending on the axis.

[frozen musk]

uh

[prime nymph]

(taking into account anchor pos too)

[frozen musk]

what about js using this

[silver olive]

should add the absolutesize * anchor point of the axis because if it is too big and the anchor point is in the middle is not working

[frozen musk]

bc after it goes pass 1 it is off the screen

[prime nymph]

Yes good catch thank you

[prime nymph]

Sure but .98 may be different amounts on different screens

[frozen musk]

wait why

[prime nymph]

scale is a percentage of the GUI's parent size.

So if the GUI isn't the width of the screen, it won't actually be going off screen

[frozen musk]

the parent is a screengui

[prime nymph]

AbsoluteSize and AbsolutePosition is in pixels.

.98 is 98% the size of the ScreenGui.

.98 isn't fully off screen anyway, why not 1?

I mean it'll probably work but I like the accuracy of the exact pixels

You'd still need to account for AnchorPos regardless of what you use.

[frozen musk]

if a number is at 0.999 and its under 1 so i can type again but then it passes 1 and goes off the screen

[prime nymph]

Weren't you asking how to detect if it was off screen?

[frozen musk]

yes

[frozen musk]

okay so i tired this

        if currentgui.AbsolutePosition > script.Parent.AbsoluteSize then
            print("tofar")
        end
    end```

but it js gave me a error

06:27:37.997 Players.zombiesgamerash.PlayerGui.PiGUI.NumberTyper:160: attempt to compare Vector2 < Vector2 - Client - NumberTyper:160

[prime nymph]

Unfortunately you can't compare Vector2s (as the error says), so instead compare their components.

[frozen musk]

like the x axis?

[prime nymph]

Yes, X & Y are components of a Vector2

[frozen musk]

alr

yay

it works now

[frozen musk]

but how would i do this

sometimes the number gets to like 0.999 and is off the screen

[prime nymph]

So if the anchor point is 0.5, 0, this means that the frame's X position will be offscreen, but half of the frame will still be on screen (as the origin is in the middle)

So the position has to now be greater than AbsoluteSize + (anchor * size)

[prime nymph]

Does that actually matter? How noticeable even is that? We're using pixels in these calcs so don't worry about the percentage for that

[frozen musk]

anchor point of the gui or the screen gui??

[prime nymph]

You'd get the Absolute size of the thing it's exiting, but subtract the size of the thing exiting * anchor

[frozen musk]

soo like this?

        if currentgui.AbsolutePosition.X > (script.Parent.AbsoluteSize.X - (currentgui.AbsoluteSize * currentgui.AnchorPoint)) then
            print("tofar")
        end
    end```

um
06:40:54.399 Players.zombiesgamerash.PlayerGui.PiGUI.NumberTyper:160: invalid argument #1 (Vector2 expected, got number) - Client - NumberTyper:160

[prime nymph]

multiplying two Vector2s equal a Vector2. You can't subtract a number and a Vector2 (I don't think) so you need to be doing the .X of both Vector2s you're using

[frozen musk]

gtg

[frozen musk]

how do i fix this
17:46:17.707 X is not a valid member of UDim2 - Client - NumberTyper:163

        if currentgui.AbsolutePosition.X > (script.Parent.AbsoluteSize.X - (currentgui.AbsoluteSize.X * currentgui.AnchorPoint.X)) * 0.92 then
            print("tofar")
            currentgui.Position = currentgui.Position + UDim2.new(0,0,0.040,0)
            currentgui.Position.X = 0
        end
    end```

[prime nymph]

A GUI's position is not a Vector2, its a UDim2. So you can't do .X You'd have to get the X component of the .Scale or .Offset of the Position

[frozen musk]

so how would i do that

[prime nymph]

Instead of just Position.X you gotta do Position.Offset.X or Position.Scale.X depending on what you want

[frozen musk]

that doesnt work

[prime nymph]

what do you mean "that doesn't work"?

[frozen musk]

there is no option for that

[prime nymph]

Oh sorry I had it mixed up.

X.Offset or X.Scale

[frozen musk]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

[frozen musk]

19:18:37.001 Scale is not a valid member of UDim - Client - NumberTyper:163 it js gives a simliar error

also am trying to create a new line

after it passes the screen

        if currentgui.AbsolutePosition.X > (script.Parent.AbsoluteSize.X - (currentgui.AbsoluteSize.X * currentgui.AnchorPoint.X)) * 0.92 then
            print("tofar")
            currentgui.Position = currentgui.Position + UDim2.new(0,0,0.040,0)
            currentgui.Position.X.Scale = 0
        end
    end```

[prime nymph]

Not sure how this is possible.

You don't set gui position like this anyway, you have to set the position to a new UDim2

[frozen musk]

i cant set it to a new udim2 tho because of this line
currentgui.Position = currentgui.Position + UDim2.new(0,0,0.040,0)
it always has to go down from the other line

[prime nymph]

Can you show me the line this points to? this doesn't make sense considering the docs say otherwise https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/UDim

[frozen musk]

currentgui.Position.X.Scale = 0

[prime nymph]

Can you print out currentgui.Position.X?

[prime nymph]

@devout kindle Im so sorry for pinging you randomly, but this issue makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Do you have any insight? Starting from #1356344009022242897 message

[devout kindle]

lemme see

what do u need insight on

X.Scale or Scale.X?

pretty sure it's X.Scale

[prime nymph]

but it's saying that Scale is not a valid member of UDim

X is a UDim from UDim2, so why wouldn't UDim have a Scale property?

[devout kindle]

currentgui.Position.X.Scale = 0

yeah ik why

u cant set Scale/Offset individually

u have to set the actual X value

that's why

sorry was trynna figure out wtf this guy is dming me

[prime nymph]

No worries, you're very kind to answer my random ping

[devout kindle]

np

just chilling lmao

[devout kindle]

as in u have to set .Position

[prime nymph]

Why wouldn't it have a "read only" style error, rather than saying it's not a property? I was expecting possibly getting that kind of error.

Does it have to do with tables and various lua stuff?

[devout kindle]

idk it's just some roblox UI bs

[prime nymph]

Well at least I'm not crazy!

[devout kindle]

lmao

yeah nah u cant edit the UDim2 directly for whatever reason

if currentgui then
    if currentgui.AbsolutePosition.X > (script.Parent.AbsoluteSize.X - (currentgui.AbsoluteSize.X * currentgui.AnchorPoint.X)) * 0.92 then
        print("tofar")
        currentgui.Position = currentgui.Position + UDim2.new(0,0,0.040,0)
-       currentgui.Position.X.Scale = 0
+       currentgui.Position = UDim2.new(0, currentgui.Position.X.Offset, currentgui.Position.Y.Scale, currentgui.Position.Y.Offset);
        or
+       currentgui.Position -= UDim2.fromScale(currentgui.Position.X.Scale, 0);
    end
end

[devout kindle]

one of those cases where roblox just decided "oh nope, no documenting for this" 🤷

nvm

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Frame#Position

hol up

nah im trippin

this is why i dont stay up late

😭

[prime nymph]

I feel like they should just have "read-only" beside the member like all other languages have always done

[devout kindle]

mhm

bro what is this documentation

[prime nymph]

It's not even a descriptive error either, like it doesn't connect to the fact it's read only

[devout kindle]

"attempting to write to it causes an error"

💀

i mean i suppose "writing to it" would mean writing into the actual UDim2

not "assigning" it

still vague af

YOOO

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/beta-introducing-custom-matchmaking-with-custom-signals/3598471

kinda off topic but this is sick

i should probably go to bed now lmao

[prime nymph]

Awesome!!!! love new features

[frozen musk]

so how do i fix it
