I was trying to get the middle of the GUI but I got an error saying:
Output:
Players.Player.PlayerGui.LocalScript:4: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'Position' (a userdata value)
Why did I get this error and how do I fix it?
LocalScript:
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
ScreenGui = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
Gui = ScreenGui.Frame
MiddleOfGui = math.floor(Gui.Position/2)
print(MiddleOfGui)
The key to finding the center, no matter what screen, is going to be using AbsolutePosition and AbsoluteSize. These two will get you the pixels away from the top-left corner it is even with XScale and YScale
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
ScreenGui = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
Gui = ScreenGui.Frame
wait() -- wait is crutial, it won't be absolute unless you give it time to set up
absoluteXS = Gui.AbsoluteSize.X
absoluteYS = Gui.AbsoluteSize.Y
absoluteXP = Gui.AbsolutePosition.X
absoluteYP = Gui.AbsolutePosition.Y
MiddleOfGui = UDim2.new(0, absoluteXP + (absoluteXS/2), 0, absoluteYP + (absoluteYS/2))
print(MiddleOfGui)
Hopefully this helps
It's impossible to divide a UDim2(positioning/size used for GUIs) by a number, as the UDim2 consists of 4 numbers: X, XOffset, Y, YOffset. So, this code should work here:
MiddleOfGuiX=Gui.Position.X-Gui.Size.X/2
MiddleOfGuiY=Gui.Position.Y-Gui.Size.Y/2
MiddleOfGui=UDim2.new(MiddleOfGuiX, 0, MiddleOfGuiY, 0) --In a UDim2 form, works just the same.

Actually.... this wouldn't work. This is to get the edges of a GUI. To get the center just simply use it's position. (Gui.Position)
