[2D gui camera] Move gui objects relative to a UDIM2 position

Hi, recently I got into making 2D gui games on roblox. However I faced that issue that I have little to know about making gui objects move relative to a position. Basically I would like to make a “camera”, that could follow the player around.

I have tried these ( They ran in RunService.RenderStepped ):

local vectorDir = PlayerFrame.Position - TestFrame.Position
TestFrame.Position += vectorDir --> makes the TestFrame go to the PlayerFrame
--TestFrame.Position -= vectorDir -> makes the TestFrame have inf position

TestFrame.Position -= PlayerFrame.Position
TestFrame.Position += PlayerFrame.Position

However none of them worked, because most of these just made the TestFrame have an infinite position.

Any help will be appreciated!

Sorry for the late reply.

I’m using guis, no roblox characters.

It’s normal 2D

After I got some help, this is what I got.

TestFrame.Position = UDim2.new(0, -PlayerFrame.Position.X.Offset, 0, -PlayerFrame.Position.Y.Offset)
