  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I want to make a textLabel that displays the textbuttons/frames(items) when hovering over them and that follows the mouse, kinda like adopt me!

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

I tried to achieve that with the script below; the only problem is that when i move out my mouse position out of the TextButtons area, the TextLabel is still here.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I did tried to look up the DevForum, i only found about the GetGuiObjectsAtPosition, which im not used to it yet

this is the UI; the white square is the frame that’ll follow the mouse, the textlabel’s parent is the square.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local textLabel = script.Parent.handle.textLabel

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	textLabel.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(0,mouse.X,0,mouse.Y)

	local guisAtPosition = player.PlayerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(mouse.X, mouse.Y)

	for _, gui in pairs(guisAtPosition) do
		if gui:FindFirstChild("item") then
			textLabel.Text = gui:FindFirstChild("item").Value
			textLabel.Visible = true
		elseif gui:FindFirstChild("face") then
			textLabel.Text = gui:FindFirstChild("face").Value
			textLabel.Visible = true
		end
	end
end

I also tried to add this after the last elseif statement, but now, the textLabel doesnt display at all

else 
	textLabel.Visible = false
How would I go about making a gui appear on the players mouse when hovering over a gui

Simple, just add a debounce.
Enable it when the mouse cursor is hovering the button if its hovering then set that debounce value to true.

Example:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local textLabel = script.Parent.handle.textLabel

local isHovered = false

some_button.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
     isHovered = true
end)

some_button.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
    isHovered = false
end)

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	textLabel.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(0,mouse.X,0,mouse.Y)

	local guisAtPosition = player.PlayerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(mouse.X, mouse.Y)

	for _, gui in pairs(guisAtPosition) do
		if gui:FindFirstChild("item") then
			textLabel.Text = gui:FindFirstChild("item").Value
			textLabel.Visible = isHovered
		elseif gui:FindFirstChild("face") then
			textLabel.Text = gui:FindFirstChild("face").Value
			textLabel.Visible = isHovered
		end
	end
end

NOTE: THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE
So you have to replace some_button with a actual button.

How can i achieve that with frames, MouseEnter/MouseLeave isn’t a function of Frames

Hi, It is.

As you can see it says “GuiObject” and the frame is a gui object.

There’s another way!
You can use Frame.InputBegan.
