Cursor Following Label

-- MouseEnter
script.Parent.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel.Visible = true
end)
-- MouseLeave
script.Parent.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel.Visible = false
end)

-- FollowLabel
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, Mouse.X, 0, Mouse.Y)
end)

This script makes a TextLabel follow LocalPlayer’s mouse cursor when they hover over a GUI, but it’s too far away from the cursor, how do I fix this?

The Mouse.X and Y are exactly at the point of the cursor, and you also input it correctly into the UDim2 (offset, not scale), so the only thing I can guess that is the issue is that the FollowLabel is in a Frame, or perhaps a Frame inside of a Frame. When these overlap, it can cause issues with the offset, so make sure you make a separate frame with the label inside of it like so;

I tried this and it worked for me.

Uhh, what do I do?

Yes, I think that is the issue, since the label is ‘inside’ of the TextButton on the left side of your screen.
All you have to do is copy my explorer.

  1. Make a Frame, child of the ScreenGui. Make the frame the size you want the FollowLabel to be.
  2. Put the TextLabel inside of the Frame, setting it’s UDim2 size to 1, 0, 1, 0 (xScale and yScale to 1).
  3. If preferred, put the LocalScript as a child of the Frame. Set the correct paths accordingly.

This should resolve the issue.

I get an error saying “FollowLabel is not a valid member of Frame “Players.SleepyUnnamed.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame””

Heres the script:

-- MouseEnter
script.Parent.Parent.EnableHitbox.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel.Visible = true
end)
-- MouseLeave
script.Parent.Parent.EnableHitbox.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel.Visible = false
end)

-- FollowLabel
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel = UDim2.new(1, Mouse.X, 1, Mouse.Y)
end)

Explorer:

Note:

You still have the original pathing, which is incorrect now.

I’ll give you the curtesy of fixing it for you;

local playerMouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local enableHitbox = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("EnableHitbox")

-- MouseEnter
enableHitbox.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	script.FollowLabel.Visible = true
end)

-- MouseLeave
enableHitbox.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	script.FollowLabel.Visible = false
end)

-- FollowLabel
playerMouse.Move:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, Mouse.X, 0, Mouse.Y)
end)

I believe you could have fixed this yourself…

Correction of the script;

local playerMouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local enableHitbox = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("EnableHitbox")

-- MouseEnter
enableHitbox.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel.Visible = true
end)

-- MouseLeave
enableHitbox.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel.Visible = false
end)

-- FollowLabel
playerMouse.Move:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FollowLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, Mouse.X, 0, Mouse.Y)
end)

Players.SleepyUnnamed.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.FollowLabelScript:16: Expected identifier when parsing expression, got ‘[’

There is not a ‘[’ in the script I provided, so that’s a typo you must’ve made.
