I am getting an error on line 4. The error is "Players.Dave_Robertson.PlayerGui.MapButton.ImageLabel.LocalScript:4: attempt to index nil with 'Position'"
I am trying to do a if then script
The parent of the script is ImageLabel
The script is a LocalScript
GUI: https://ibb.co/bXV2ZYD
StarterGui: https://ibb.co/yy44kZG

Script:

wait()
while true do
    wait()
    if script.Parent.Position == UDim2.new(1,0,0.907,0) then -- Players.Dave_Robertson.PlayerGui.MapButton.ImageLabel.LocalScript:4: attempt to index nil with 'Position'
        script.Parent:Destroy()
    else
        script.Parent.Position = script.Parent.Parent.TextButton.Position
    end
end

try changing position to UDim2 mikey2019d 43 — 4y

@mikey2019d UDim2 is not a valid member of ImageLabel Dave_Robertson 42 — 4y

Try this out.

local MapButton = script:FindFirstAncestor("MapButton")
local ImageLabel = MapButton:FindFirstChildOfClass("ImageLabel")

while true do
    wait()
    if ImageLabel.Position == UDim2.new(1,0,.907,0) then
        ImageLabel:Destroy()
        break
    else
        ImageLabel.Position = MapButton.TextButton.Position
    end
end

You have an unnecessary while true do loop here. The loop will destroy your ImageLabel after first or second iteration. Hence the error. Unfortunately it is unclear to me what you are trying to achieve, so I can't really help you more.
