Why won't the script I made to change the position of a gui work?

Asked by

local gui=script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("TextLabel")

wait(3)

function startgui()
    script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(0.425,0,0.3,0)
end

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.

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:

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer

local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local screengui = playerGui:WaitForChild("NameHere")
local gui= screengui:WaitForChild("TextLabel")

local frame = script.Parent
-- Or wherever you put the script, and text label

-- First of all you never referenced back to the function you did!
-- Secondly you don't need a function to run this. Without a function it will run automatically.

frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.425,0,0.3,0), "In", "Quint", 1)
wait(0.5)
print("FIXED!")

This is your new and improved script that should work to move the Gui!
