Cannot change a TextButton's position?
I am making a GUI where you can select and delete stuff. For the deleting part, I want a shaking part. I have already done that. But I want it to like move the button's position, but it errors "Offset cannot be assigned to" whenever I put this in my script.
game:GetService('RunService').Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if not deleting then --Activates if the user clicks the delete button, so it can stop rotating and repositioning.
pcall(function()
layout.Parent = script.Parent
end)
for i, v in pairs(items) do
v.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
v.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(27, 42, 53)
end
script:Clone().Parent = script.Parent
script:Destroy()
end
if order == 'Asending' then
position = position + .5
for i, v in pairs(items) do
v.Rotation = v.Rotation + 4
v.Position.Y.Offset = v.Position.Y.Offset + position --This is the line that errors.
print(v.Position.Y.Offset)
end
if items[1].Rotation == 20 then
order = 'Desending'
end
elseif order == 'Desending' then
for i, v in pairs(items) do
v.Rotation = v.Rotation - 4
end
if items[1].Rotation == -20 then
order = 'Asending'
end
end
end)
Remember, all of the variables are defined. "Items" is a table full of the buttons that the user can delete. Any idea?

You can't just say v.Position.Y.Offset = v.Position.Y.Offset + position, you have to use UDim2, because that's basically saying v.Position.Y.Offset = 0 + {0,0},{0,0}. You need to do this: v.Position = UDim2.new(v.Position) + UDim2.new(position). You cant define Position with just numbers, it has to use UDim2.

The offset is not read only, because it is not grayed out. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

I know, but you still have to use UDim2 to define the Scale and Offset of X and Y. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 7y

No, it is a property of Position. Under position is X and Y and under those is Scale and Offset. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

Yeah, and since it is not grayed out, you can edit it. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

Either way, you have to use Udim2(XScale,XOffset,YScale,YOffset) to change/define the position of an object. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 7y

why is it read only? hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

Let me edit my answer so It makes more sense. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 7y

No, because that is not my position. The position is the offset, and it is a number. Otherwise, on line 15, it would error "could not perform arithmetic on a UDim2" or something. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

Then set it to UDim2(0,0,0,YOffset) PyccknnXakep 1225 — 7y

Oh, just looked up what a UDim is since like i never use it or thought i used it and looked what it was. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=UDim#Offset . Well, the question is, why is it read only? hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

Edit:
if order == "Asending" then
position = position + .5
for i, v in pairs(items) do
v.Rotation = v.Rotation + 4
local XOffSet = v.Position.X.Offset
local YOffSet = v.Position.Y.Offset
local X = v.Position.X
local Y = v.Position.Y
local FinalOffset = YOffSet + position
v.Position = UDim2.new(X + 0.01, 0, Y, 0)
wait()
v.Position = UDim2.new(X - 0.01, 0, Y, 0)
wait()
v.Position = UDim2.new(X + 0.01, 0, Y, 0)
wait()
v.Position = UDim2.new(X - 0.01, 0, Y, 0)
wait()
v.Position = UDim2.new(X + 0.01, 0, Y, 0)
wait()
v.Position = UDim2.new(X - 0.01, 0, Y, 0)
wait()
v.Position = UDim2.new(X + 0.01, 0, Y, 0)
wait()
v.Position = UDim2.new(X - 0.01, 0, Y, 0)
wait()
end
end
Your script doesn't make much sense of what you want it to do. Fixed original script:
if order == "Asending" then
position = position + .5
for i, v in pairs(items) do
v.Rotation = v.Rotation + 4
local XOffSet = v.Position.X.Offset
local YOffSet = v.Position.Y.Offset
local X = v.Position.X
local Y = v.Position.Y
local FinalOffset = YOffSet + position
v.Position = UDim2.new(X, XOffSet, Y, FinalOffSet)
end
However, using TweenGui, it will work better.
if order == "Asending" then
position = position + .5
for i, v in pairs(items) do
v.Rotation = v.Rotation + 4
local XOffSet = v.Position.X.Offset
local YOffSet = v.Position.Y.Offset
local X = v.Position.X
local Y = v.Position.Y
local FinalOffset = YOffSet + position
v:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(X, XOffSet, Y, FinalOffSet), "Out", "Quad", 1)
end
This will smoothly move the Gui.

This doesnt work for me, because when i used this, it kept going down or up and going off the screen. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

Do you know have ascending and descending means? I dont just want a one pixel change...... hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

Your script doesnt even make any sense. None of us even have a clue what you are trying to do. One pixel is very obvious. Offset 1. Please stop downvoting me for stuff you do. TinyScripter 70 — 7y

1: Someone else downvoted you, not me. 2: One pixel is NOT very obvious unless your staring at it like "hmmm does this ever change?" hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

It's quite simple to figure out what he was doing actually. I think everyone should know that changing/setting a position of a GUI object should be defined using UDim2. He also specified what line was erroring, which was really helpful. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 7y
