Gui following part effect

Hello!

How to make a Gui follow a part?

I am trying to find make a Image label follow a part and i scrolled through Devforum and i didn’t find any solutions. The part is very massive and it’s located at 0, 0, 0.

Here is the script

		local ScreenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", game.StarterGui)
		
		local SunShine = Instance.new("ImageLabel", ScreenGui)
		SunShine.Size = UDim2.new(0, 30, 0, 30)
		SunShine.BackgroundTransparency = 1
		SunShine.AnchorPoint = Vector3.new(0.5, 0.5)
		SunShine.Image = "rbxassetid://5200654205"
		SunShine.ZIndex = 2

        --??

Any suggestions will help!

If you mean make it like on the part just use surface Uis if you want it to rotate use billboard Uis

Try this, MUST be in a local script or use RemoteEvents to send the data.

local part = --location to part
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local worldPoint = part.Position
local vector = camera:WorldToScreenPoint(worldPoint)
 
local screenPoint = Vector2.new(vector.X, vector.Y)
local depth = vector.Z

Set the position from the screenPoint, I think you should use the offset in the UDim2 part, use runService so you can move it smoothly.

How do i make a frame in gui navigate the position of a npc?

You can do this, but you must do this constantly and repeat it.

I would recommend using a BillboardGui instead.

Well it works but it is pointing at nothing??

Show me your full code? I didn’t understand anything from the vid, sry if I’m just dumb

Here

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.SunShineEvent
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ScreenGui = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui
local SunTexture2 = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ImageLabel

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, part)
	RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
		local Camera = game.Workspace.Camera

		local part = part
		local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
		local worldPoint = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
		local vector = camera:WorldToScreenPoint()

		local screenPoint = UDim2.new(0, vector.X, 0, vector.Y)
		local depth = vector.Z

		SunTexture2.Size = UDim2.new(0,30,0,30)
		SunTexture2.Position = screenPoint
	end)
end)
-- This is the remote event local script
-- I also added the screeengui and the texture to the game because generating didn't work for me 

SunShineEvent:FireServer(Star)	
--  This is inside a MODULE script

Also In the last reply i went into the server not the in the client, so it probably was at 0, 0, 0 but the part wasn’t there.

Here

local worldPoint = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)

The worldPoint is supposed the be the part position

local worldPoint = part.Position

Hey, I tried following along because im trying to create something similar , but when I put it in a script im having an error with this code.

local vector = camera:WorldToScreenPoint()

its saying " Argument 1 missing or nil "

#16

OK I just fixed my own error by reading the creator hub.

local worldPoint = part.Position
local vector, onScreen = camera:WorldToScreenPoint(worldPoint)
