While this isn't a direct coding error, I'm wondering how I would go about scripting controllable GUIs (By that I mean, a little blob one could move around on screen). This is for my little project of building a retro arcade machine inside of ROBLOX. I have a reasonable amount of experience/knowledge when it comes to Lua programming. Thanks in advance :)

You can place this inside s local script inside the Gui Object you wish to move:
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local gui = script.Parent
local dragging
local dragInput
local dragStart
local startPos
local function update(input)
local delta = input.Position - dragStart
gui.Position = UDim2.new(startPos.X.Scale, startPos.X.Offset + delta.X, startPos.Y.Scale, startPos.Y.Offset + delta.Y)
end
gui.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 or input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
dragging = true
dragStart = input.Position
startPos = gui.Position
input.Changed:Connect(function()
if input.UserInputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
dragging = false
end
end)
end
end)
gui.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement or input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
dragInput = input
end
end)
UserInputService.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
if input == dragInput and dragging then
update(input)
end
end)
Too much to explain to be honest.
Hope this helps. :)

awesome, thanks a lot :)
just listen for input events.. like maybe if a key is pressed or a finger is slid on the screen, you move the GUI in a particular direction, and things like that..

you can just do gui.Draggable = true, and this is really vague.
The Draggable Property has been deprecated.
