Use scaling, don't move the GUI and size it by mouse.
In ROBLOX, the GUI is based off of your screen size. Therefor, in studio the screens are smaller because you usually have windows open (like properties tab and output tab).
If you drag and drop GUI in studio, it's not going to match everyone else's game.
Alright, for scaling, you should think of 1 as 100% and 0 as 0%. For example, if you placed a GUI and give it the X scale of 1, and the Y scale of 1, it would take up 100% of the screen.
Another example: if you gave them the X scale of 0.5, and the Y scale of 0.5, it'd take up half the screen.
Scaling is also relative to whatever it's parent is, for example, setting a frame inside a frame. If the frame only takes up 10% of the screen, and the child frame was set to 1 (100%), it would only take up the entire parent frame (10% of the screen).
It sounds a bit confusing but you'll get it if you mess around with it.
Tldr: Set the anchor point to (0.5, 0.5) Set the position scaling to (0.5, 0.5) Set the size scaling to (1, 1) That should take up the entire screen across any device of any screen size.
```lua GuiOpened = false
inputServ.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input) --UserInputService
if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Tab then
if not GuiOpened then -- if GuiOpened == false (basically what thats saying)
GuiOpened = true
script.Parent.ClickMe.Active = true --Click me is a button parented with the script
script.Parent.ClickMe.BackgroundTransparency = 0
script.Parent.ClickMe.TextTransparency = 0
else --GuiOpened wasn't false, so :
GuiOpened = false
script.Parent.ClickMe.Active = false
script.Parent.ClickMe.BackgroundTransparency = 1
script.Parent.ClickMe.TextTransparency = 1
end
end
end) ```
There's a bunch of ways to actually enable GUI with a hotkey, but there's a simple method using UserInputService and simple properties of a GUI Button frame.
