Im confused with a possible way to find the bar placement in a loading bar please help?
I am trying to make an XP bar for a project I am creating but, there is one thing that I can not figure out for the life of me. Its the most important part, I have no idea how to do division or whatever math you need to do to get how far the bar it for example
[-----_____] [--------___]
I can figure out how to do that, I know how to get a percentage of it, just not how to find out how far it needs to go.

So, the way I would do this is using division, with the slash(/). You’ll have to divide the amount of XP the player has with the total amount of XP needed to level up (Ex: XPplayerhas/XPtolevelup). Then you resize the bar based on that number using UDim2.
Here’s an example script to help you :
local bar = GUI.Bar local XP = plr.XP maxXP = 100 XP:GetPropertyChangedSignal(‘Value’):Connect(function() if XP >= maxXP then bar.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, 0) XP.Value = 0 else bar.Size = UDim2.new(XP/maxXP, 0, 1, 0) end)
This script has a function that will run every time the player’s XP in the player changes. The function changes the bar’s size based on the XP and max XP. When it’s over the max XP, it will reset the bar and the player’s XP to 0.
Hope this helped!
This is for future uses and anyone who comes on here, Below is what I used for scale
local bar = script.Parent local XP = 60 maxXP = 100 if XP >= maxXP then bar.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.058, 0) else local size = XP/maxXP / 1.5 bar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(size, 0, 0.058, 0), 'In', 'Sine', 0.7, true) end
Not much of a difference besides dividing it to 1.5, and having it Sine
