How do i create a function parameter with UDIM2, or vectors?
I am trying create a function that will create an ImageLabel. Within this function, i would like to pass a parameter that alters the size of my label.
local function CreateImageLabel(parent,name,image,size)
local imagelabel = Instance.new('ImageLabel',parent)
imagelabel.Size = UDim2.new(size)
imagelabel.Image = image
return imagelabel
end
i would like to call this function like so:
`` imagelabel = CreateImageLabel(parent,'label','rbx.whatever', (1,0,1,0))
My function will not work. Would i have to change it to:
local function CreateImageLabel(parent,name,image,x,y)
local imagelabel = Instance.new('ImageLabel',parent)
imagelabel.Size = UDim2.new(x,0,y,0)
imagelabel.Image = image
return imagelabel
end
or is there a clean way to achieve what im trying to do?

local function ConstructImageLabel(ParentInstance, Name, ImageID, ScaleSize)
local ImageLabel = Instance.new("ImageLabel")
---------------
ImageLabel.Image = "rbxassetid://" .. ImageID
ImageLabel.Size = UDim2.fromScale(unpack(ScaleSize))
---------------
ImageLabel.Name = Name
ImageLabel.Parent = ParentInstance
---------------
return ImageLabel
end
--// ConstructImageLabel(ScreenGui, "ExampleLabel", 123456789, {1, 1})

You could use a loop and pass in a config table like so:
--What would be passed to `CreateImage`, you can add any valid property of ImageLabel
local Configurations = {
Name = "SomeName";
Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0);
Parent = PlayerGui
}
function CreateImageLabel(Configs)
local newImage = Instance.new("ImageLabel")
for property, value in pairs(Configs) do
newImage[property] = value
end
return newImage
end
But if you really want to pass in the properties as separate values then you can do:
--size will be just a regular Array, table unpack places the array as if you placed these in the UDim2.new parameters individually by hand
local size = {1, 0, 1, 0}
local function CreateImageLabel(parent,name,image,size)
local newImage = Instance.new('ImageLabel')
newImage.Size = UDim2.new(table.unpack(size))
newImage.Image = image
newImage.Name = name
newImage.Parent = parent
return newImage
end
