I need a GUI to become larger if it contains more text. I know about the TextScaled property, but it only resizes the text within the GUI, not the GUI itself. Just making the GUI huge won't work for me either, because I need to line up a second GUI under the first. How can I make the GUI become taller or shorter as the text inside it changes?
There is a way, but it's kinda complicated, to do it:
1. Set the text's X alignment to left, and it's Y alignment to right.
2. Set the TextLabel's size so it fits one 'line' of text.
3. Do the following code, inside the same parent as the TextLabel.
local text = script.Parent.TextLabel -- what you resize local maxLength = 5 -- how many characters can fit in one 'line' local num = 0 local len = string.len(text.Text) while len > maxLength do len = len - maxLength num = num + 1 if len > 0 and len < maxLength then num = num + 1 end wait() end text.Size = UDim2.new(text.Size.X.Scale,text.Size.X.Offset,text.Size.Y.Scale*num,text.Size.Y.Offset*num) -- resizes it, with the formula of 'size*number' making it the right size
Note, this isn't tested, so if there is something wrong, tell me. If you need more help, please ask in the comments.
Hope I helped :)
