Autoscrolling GUI?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m looking to replicate a beam in a GUI to make an image scroll infinitely without cutting, how might I do this?

-- something like this should work, havent tested it though
local amount = 0

gui.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0,.5)
gui.Size = UDim2.fromScale(1,2)

while task.wait() do
    gui.Position = UDim2.fromScale(0,(amount / gui.Parent.AbsoluteSize.Y) % 1)

    amount += 1
end

Edit : You should probably move this into scripting support since it’s kind of impossible to move a gui without a script.

Did you define the gui variable?

Do not use the script above. You should not use a while loop for things like this.

Please explain exactly what you’re trying to achieve. :slight_smile:

Ok then,

local RunService = game:GetService('RunService')
local gui = script.Parent
local amount = 0
local speed = 1.3

gui.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0,.5)
gui.Size = UDim2.fromScale(1,2)

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(dT)
    gui.Position = UDim2.fromScale(0,(amount / gui.Parent.AbsoluteSize.Y) % 1)

    amount += dT * speed
end)

Try putting the new one in a local script inside a gui again.

Example:

My Ideas:

I know I could do this via a local script but I don’t know how to make an image scroll infinitely.

I also thought I could make a scrolling frame with a particle emitter that puts out the beam, but I don’t know how to control the emitter’s scroll speed.
