What is the issue?
I have no idea on how to go about this. I would like to create just a simple GUI that determines how high players are just like that picture above.
What solutions have you tried so far?
I have tried asking around discord, friends, free models, and I have even tried to create my own but I have 0 idea on how to determine how high a player might be and then putting that onto a GUI.
My goal is to use the gui for something other than height. I want to use it for determining what player has the most of this or that and then determining their position on the gui. Can I possibly get some help with a simple piece of code to start me off or something helpful?
You should make remote event or remote function to check for the height. You should use CFrame.Y to find the height then :Fire(height) on the client side move the players Gui to their height and check it very often.
local frame = Instance.new("Frame") -- Instancing the heightbar
frame.Parent = script.Parent
frame.Size = UDim2.new(.015,0,.639,0)
frame.Position = UDim2.new(.97,0,.2)
frame.BorderSizePixel = 0
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()-- Add a Renderstepped so it keeps on detecting a new player or a player moving. Renderstepped might be smoother
for _,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if not frame:FindFirstChild(plr.Name) then -- Check if the player isn't inside the frame or else it would cause major lag issues.
plrHeight = Instance.new("ImageLabel") -- Instancing a player icon so it appears on the height bar.
plrHeight.Parent = frame
plrHeight.Size = UDim2.new(2,0,.06,0)
plrHeight.ScaleType = Enum.ScaleType.Fit
plrHeight.BackgroundTransparency = 1
plrHeight.BorderSizePixel = 0
plrHeight.Name = plr.Name
plrHeight.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/headshot-thumbnail/image?userId="..plr.UserId.."&width=48&height=48&format=png"
end
repeat wait() until plr.Character -- Keeps on waiting until it finds the player's character.
local plrcenter = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if plrcenter then
plrHeight.Position = UDim2.new(-1.65,0,.975-plrcenter.Position.Y/150) -- Change the 150 to whatever you want NOTE: That number is the height you want it to count.
end
end
end)
Its a small script and no need to do anything! just copy and paste it into a screengui in a local script.
I wrote a small script that should be decently optimized. If you put this in a LocalScript it’ll do all of the work for you.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local events = {}
local height = 50 -- the position (on the Y-axis) that will be considered the top
local plr = Players.LocalPlayer
-- create the ui
local gui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
gui.ResetOnSpawn = false
gui.Name = "HeightTracker"
gui.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local bar = Instance.new("Frame")
bar.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(1, 0.5)
bar.BorderSizePixel = 0
bar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
bar.Position = UDim2.new(1, -15, 0.5, 0)
bar.Size = UDim2.fromScale(0.025, 0.7)
bar.Name = "Bar"
bar.Parent = gui
local templateImage = Instance.new("ImageLabel")
templateImage.BackgroundTransparency = 1
templateImage.BorderSizePixel = 0
templateImage.Size = UDim2.fromOffset(48, 48)
templateImage.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(1, 0.5)
local corner = Instance.new("UICorner")
corner.CornerRadius = UDim.new(1, 0)
corner.Parent = templateImage
local function track(player)
local image = templateImage:Clone()
image.Image = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(player.UserId, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size48x48)
image.Name = player.Name
image.Parent = bar
events[player.Name] = {
-- monitor the player's position
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
-- wrapped in pcall to prevent error when they die. there are better ways of doing this
pcall(function()
local chr = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local pos = chr.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y
image.Position = UDim2.fromScale(0, (1 - (pos / height)))
end)
end)
}
end
-- remove player images on leave & disconnect events
local function clean(player)
local image = bar:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
if image then
image:Destroy()
if events[player.Name] then
events[player.Name]:Disconnect()
end
end
end
-- track the players
for _,player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
track(player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(track)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(clean)
