Changing a textbox position

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi i am trying to script it so when a player joins the game their name will appear on a part. I did the script and it works but i am unable to make it so the position changes everything a new player joins

this is the script

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(name)
local imaine = name.Name
local surface = script.Parent.SurfaceGui
local outsite = 500
local something = 0
local num = 50

local more = Instance.new("TextLabel")
more.Text = imaine
more.BackgroundTransparency = 0
more.Size = UDim2.new(something,outsite,something,num)
more.Parent =  surface
more.TextScaled = true

end)

I am able to make the textbox show the name of the player but if there is more than one person the textbox stays in the same place.

You can change the position by setting the .Position property. To calculate the position, I would recommend multiplying the number of children in the SurfaceGui by the size of the TextLabel.

you should just use UIListLayout | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub (or grid, idk whats your case) instead of manually setting the position
