Anyone know a method to get the screen position (2D) of a point in my ViewportFrame?

I have a ViewportFrame with a player character inside of it, and I am wondering if there are any methods to get the point where the characters head position (vector3) is on the actual players screen (vector2).

#2

are you looking for the players position in the workspace or the viewport?

#3

The players position in the viewport itself

Try using Camera:WorldToViewportPoint on the ViewportFrame’s CurrentCamera.

local HeadPosition3D = Viewport.Character.Head.Position

local PositionWithDepth, OnScreen = Viewport.CurrentCamera:WorldToViewportPoint(HeadPosition3D)

--offset from top-left corner of viewportframe in pixels
--(relative to viewportframe)
local Position2D = Vector2.new(PositionWithDepth.X, PositionWithDepth.Y)
--distance from camera to point in roblox studs
local Depth = PositionWithDepth.Z

--whether the position is visible on screen (does not account for it being behind something)
print(OnScreen)
