How would I make label(s) in different positions depending on how many values?
Basically I made a door which opens to whoever owns the tycoon, and I made a ScreenGui to basically add users to the door so it can open for them! Well, I did everything else except the TextLabel part.. I want to acknowledge how to space out the position (y) in my ScrollingFrame. I looked for it at a lot of places and found no results. This is the script without the part explained above:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.username.Text) then
if not game.Workspace.Tycoon1:findFirstChild("door").friends:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.username.Text) then
local n=Instance.new("StringValue",game.Workspace.Tycoon1:findFirstChild("door").friends)
n.Name=script.Parent.Parent.username.Text
local c=Instance.new("TextLabel",script.Parent.Parent.friends)
--heres the part i really need help with--
c.Name=n.Name
c.Text=n.Name
c.Size=UDim2.new(1,0,.1,0)
------------------------------------------------
else
return
end
end
end)
Help on this would be appreciated and just comment below if you need some additional information because I'm pretty bad at explaining things in my perspective lol

First, let's do a little code clean up.
First: Tab your code correctly.
Next: You can say workspace instead of game.Workspace, so let's use that to be briefer.
You use script.Parent 5 times -- so it would be worth it to use a variable for it instead. I called it button. We still use button.Parent four times. Three times it's for button.Parent.username.Text, so that should definitely be a variable. (We can also use it instead of n.Name)
There's no point for the else return since nothing happens after that point, anyway.
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
local name = button.Parent.username.Text
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(name) then
if (not workspace.Tycoon1["door"].friends:FindFirstChild(name)) then
local n = Instance.new("StringValue", workspace.Tycoon1["door"].friends)
n.Name = name
local c = Instance.new("TextLabel", button.Parent.friends)
c.Name = name
c.Text = name
c.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, .1, 0)
end
end
end)
Now we just need to set the Position of c.
Since each is .1 tall, we could place each one at y = 0.1 * #of_things_in_frame:
local others = button.Parent.friends:GetChildren()
c.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.1 * (#others - 1), 0)
(or some variation of this). This is the simplest way to accomplish this.
