GetTextSize with TextScaled?

I don’t think this has been asked and if it did, I can’t find a solution all over the internet yet.

So in GetTextSize, it requires you to input the text size, what text size should I input if the text has TextScaled property enabled?

local textservice = game:GetService("TextService")
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local size = textservice:GetTextSize( script.Parent.TextLabel.Text, script.Parent.TextLabel.TextSize, script.Parent.TextLabel.Font, script.Parent.AbsoluteSize )
	script.Parent.TextLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, size.X, 0, size.Y)
end)

I don’t think it would matter, since the TextScaled property makes whatever you put in for TextSize property obsolete. Although I may be wrong.

If you selected text scaled, when you change the text size it shows no difference. Due to the text being scaled.

The number does affect the result despite that I have TextScaled on, I inputed 100 for the font size, and this is the result, there are some white spaces.

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local size = textservice:GetTextSize( script.Parent.TextLabel.Text, 
	100,
	script.Parent.TextLabel.Font, 
	script.Parent.AbsoluteSize )
local scale = OffsetToScale(size.X, size.Y)
script.Parent.TextLabel.Size = UDim2.new( math.clamp(scale.X, 0, max), 0, 0.04 ,0)

end)

Sorry to bump but this is useful information,

TextScaled is calculated as a whole number with the max of 100, the TextScaled TextSize is the Y Offset Size. Though, with legacy font it is doubled.
