How do I use instance.new for GUI and make it spawn random?
I am making a Textbutton so it spawns atimaticaly and picks a random spot in the screen GUI. What do I do to make it go to a random position from
x = 0.021 - 0.953 y = 0.146 - 0.917 please help
This is my current code
1 | local xPos = math.random(0.021, 0.953) |
2 | local yPos = math.random(0.146,0.917) |
3 |
4 | local Point = Instance.new("TextButton") |
5 | Point.Parent = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui |
6 | Point.Visible = true |
7 | Point.Size = script.Parent.TextButton1.Size |
8 | Point.Position = UDim2.new(xPos, yPos) |
It is a local script but the math.random position is not working

math.random() only gets whole values. So it can't get any values with decimals. Which means that both your math.random() will return 0. Instead I recommend getting the whole values and then dividing them with 1000 so you get the value you actually intended to get.
1 | local xPos = math.random(21, 953) / 1000 |
2 | local yPos = math.random(146, 917) / 1000 |
3 |
4 | local Point = Instance.new("TextButton") |
5 | Point.Parent = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui |
6 | Point.Visible = true |
7 | Point.Size = script.Parent.TextButton1.Size |
8 | Point.Position = UDim2.new(xPos, yPos) |
Hope this helped!
