Alright, I have edited my code:
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
while true do
wait()
local pos = camera:WorldToScreenPoint(workspace.TestPart.Position)
local screenpoint = Vector2.new(pos.X,pos.Y)
script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(screenpoint)
end
its a lot better, but the frame wont move. when I put print(screenpoint), it returns with coordinates with where the frame would go, but when I change its position to screenpoint, it doesn't move at all. Why is this?
there's no need to use complicated math for this, you can just use a BillboardGui
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/BillboardGui
although, if what i think you're doing is correct, you're trying to get the gui to display even if the actual object is offscreen...which you still don't need complicated math for
you can just use Camera:WorldToViewportPoint (or WorldToScreenPoint if you aren't accounting for the gui inset) to get the position of the object in screen space, then clamp the value to make sure it doesn't go offscreen

ill try to use this
ok i edited my question if you could tell me why my code wont work that would be nice
you can't create a UDim2 with a Vector2, you have to manually put UDim2.new(0, vector.X, 0, vector.Y)
