Making a Gui Visible when you hover over another players character?

Asked 2,563 views1 answers

What methods should I use if you hover your mouse over another players torso and it brings up a Gui at the mouse position?

Should I use OnMouseHover? I'm not really sure how to make the gui appear at the position of the mouse when they hover either? Can anyone go in depth on how to do this?

My main question is, how would I make a Gui be at the mouse position and only be activated/visible when it hovers over another players torso?

Here is my attempt

Attempt

wait()
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local mouse = plr:GetMouse();
local Frame = script.Parent.Tag
local Content = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Content")


mouse.Move:connect(function()
		local X, Y = mouse.X, mouse.Y
    if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(mouse.Target.Parent)-- Checks to make sure they are an actual player
	and	X > script.Parent.AbsolutePosition.x and 
		Y > script.Parent.AbsolutePosition.y and 
		X < script.Parent.AbsolutePosition.x+script.Parent.AbsoluteSize.x and 
		Y < script.Parent.AbsolutePosition.y+script.Parent.AbsoluteSize.y
		then
		
   		Frame.Visible = true; -- Change frame to whatever you want visible
 		Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0,X+1,0,Y+1) 
else

        Frame.Visible = false; -- Change frame to whatever you want invisible

    end

end)

Error: Target comes up as a nil value.

As a LocalScript inside of the GUI, you would use the Move event to check when the mouse is moved and you would get the mouse's target (mouse variable.Target) to get the target the mouse is at. You would then check if it was a player and make the GUI visible if so.

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local mouse = plr:GetMouse();

mouse.Move:connect(function()

	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(mouse.Target.Parent) then -- Checks to make sure they are an actual player

		script.Parent.Frame.Visible = true; -- Change frame to whatever you want visible

	else

		script.Parent.Frame.Visible = false; -- Change frame to whatever you want invisible

	end

end)

Edit (To answer your edit):

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local mouse = plr:GetMouse();
local Frame = script.Parent.Tag;
local Content = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Content");


mouse.Move:connect(function()

	local X, Y = mouse.X, mouse.Y;

	if mouse.Target then

		if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(mouse.Target.Parent)-- Checks to make sure they are an actual player
    and X > script.Parent.AbsolutePosition.x and 
        Y > script.Parent.AbsolutePosition.y and 
        X < script.Parent.AbsolutePosition.x+script.Parent.AbsoluteSize.x and 
        Y < script.Parent.AbsolutePosition.y+script.Parent.AbsoluteSize.y
        then

		Frame.Visible = true; -- Change frame to whatever you want visible
        	Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0,X+1,0,Y+1);

		else

			Frame.Visible = false; -- Change frame to whatever you want invisible

    		end

	else

		Frame.Visible = false;

	end

end)

My apologies, for I forgot to actually check if there was a target. Please let me know of any other concerns you may have.

I'm a little confused on (mouse.Target.Parent) What would the target be and what would the Parent be?

This is what I tried, check my edit in the question.

Target comes up as a nil value.
