Why does this only generate one frame?
Lately a lot of things have been acting weird with the lua on roblox, maybe it's just me. The below script only generates one frame with the position of (20, 0, 1, 0). I'm sure its an error in the way im writing this, what I want it to do is generate 20x20 frames on the part. No error on the output, otherwise I wouldn't be asking for help.
frame = workspace.part.SurfaceGui.Frame
tile = Instance.new("Frame")
tile.BorderSizePixel = 1
tile.Size = UDim2.new(.05, 0, .05, 0)
for i = 1, 20 do
for u = 1, 20 do
tile.Parent = frame
tile.Position = tile.Position + UDim2.new(0.05, 0, 0, 0)
end
tile.Position = tile.Position + UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.05, 0)
end
I'm running this from the command bar.

It only generates one frame because the frame is instantiated before the loop. In your snippet, the loop only updates the position of the already created frame.
The following would only change the Name property of part x to the corresponding value or i. . while simply moving the first line into the for-loop would create multiple parts with different names.
-- [1]
x = instance.new("Part")
for i = 1, 20 do
x.Name = i
end
-- [2]
for i = 1, 20 do
x = instance.new("Part")
x.Name = i
end
In your case, you want to do something similar to the second example.
frame = workspace.part.SurfaceGui.Frame
for i = 1, 20 do
for u = 1, 20 do
tile = Instance.new("Frame")
tile.BorderSizePixel = 1
tile.Size = UDim2.new(.05, 0, .05, 0)
tile.Parent = frame
tile.Position = tile.Position + UDim2.new(0.05, 0, 0, 0)
end
tile.Position = tile.Position + UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.05, 0)
end
