Why won't the script I made to change the position of a gui work?
1 | local gui=script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("TextLabel") |
2 |
3 | wait(3) |
4 |
5 | function startgui() |
6 | script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(0.425,0,0.3,0) |
7 | end |
8 |
9 | print("Okay?") |
I don't understand whats wrong. It prints the "Okay?" and it's not giving me any errors, but the gui wont move to the desired location.
Thanks.

You never called the function. GoldenPhysics 474 — 8y

you need to put startgui() to call the function Volodymyr2004 293 — 8y

So basically just look at my answer and fix the referencing with the names and proper locations! Theevilem 23 — 8y

local gui=script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
wait(3)
function startgui() script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(0.425,0,0.3,0) end
startgui() --Needing to call the function like the other said too. print("Okay?")

You need to reference things properly in a Gui.
Here is what the script should look like:
01 | local players = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | local player = players.LocalPlayer |
03 |
04 | local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") |
05 | local screengui = playerGui:WaitForChild("NameHere") |
06 | local gui= screengui:WaitForChild("TextLabel") |
07 |
08 | local frame = script.Parent |
09 | -- Or wherever you put the script, and text label |
10 |
11 | -- First of all you never referenced back to the function you did! |
12 | -- Secondly you don't need a function to run this. Without a function it will run automatically. |
13 |
14 | frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.425,0,0.3,0), "In", "Quint", 1) |
15 | wait(0.5) |
16 | print("FIXED!") |
This is your new and improved script that should work to move the Gui!
