I've been having a little bit of trouble with a "Notifications system" I've been working on, and the offsetting of GuiObjects. I was able to avoid the overlapping of the objects by getting the combined size[Y] of all notifications.

local function TotalOffsets(guiObject)
  local total =  0
  for k, v in next, guiObject:children() do
      if v:IsA('TextLabel') then
          total = total + tonumber(v.Size.Y.Offset)
      end
  end
  return total
end

However, trying to limit the amount of notifications displayed at once causes a little flaw because the more I send notifications, the less time the older ones have time to dismiss, causing overlaps due > to the older ones still being counted as part of the TotalOffsets

Question: How to avoid all of the above?
