Chat UI positioning.. oh boy I suck at positioning (How do I fix?)

Hello there Devs,

I have been trying to move the chat to the bottom right of the screen. It is NOT going well at all. I have tried mobile and PC (Thanks Jake for helping me test on PC)

And these are the results:

I really need help on how to fix this. Please do comment!

Thanks,
Aki

The position of the chat is dynamic as far as I am aware. Depending on your screen size this will change. Theres only so much you can do from the ClientChatModules module, without making your own custom chat.

Hello!

Well, I want to keep the default chat. I just want to modify the font, make the background transparent and be on the bottom right. The problem is the BOTTOM RIGHT issue. I will not be customizing the UI (like create a whole new GUIScreen). Any help with that?

P.S I’m using the chat modules. I got them by going on test mode, grabbing all the folders and scripts from the chat in explorer and pasted them into my workspace after I left test mode.

Yes I know exactly how this is possible lol. Your best chance (if I’m correct) is to create a remake of the chat.
Unless anyone else has any ideas.

I would LOVE to do that. Thing is, I incredibly suck at scripting. AND i’m also on a low-budget. I cannot afford paying anyone (except my employees) to make it for me.

(all of my employees are builders. only one is a scripter but he works on other social platforms too in my group so I can’t assign him alot of stuff)

Ah, I wish I could help you but I am very limited with my time at the moment

I believe you can search for some good Community Resource custom chat here on DevForum!

Probably play around with the X anchor position
and set the default window position to UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0)

I did do that. It magically D I S S A P E A R E D. (Hopefully I am not sounding rude. I just want to make a small joke with the fonts.)

You could try making a frame in a ScreenGui and then placing it to the bottom right corner of the screen. When done, use the position values of the frame for the chat.

You need to additionally modify the anchor point
This is not a setting that you can get to through the chat settings script, so you will actually need to fork the chat local script and edit in ChatWindow

BaseFrame.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(1,0)

I tried it. It dissapeared. I tried different coordinates too and it didn’t work… :confused:

Did you make sure to set the position to UDim2.new(1,0,0,0) and do the anchor point?

I did. I don’t know if it glitched or something but for some reason it did not work.

Hmm could be that there is some other offset for the mobile UI, I’ll take a more in-depth look later though :slight_smile:

Ill try one last time. Scripting is a pain when you don’t understand it…
