GUI not following mouse movement

[MrMatthewGamingX (MrMatthewGaming)]

I’m making a chest system that requires an image label to lock to the player’s mouse. However, as soon as my mouse makes any movement, it goes wayyyy off screen to a place where you can’t see it anymore. What can I do to fix this?

UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
		if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
			local Position = UIS:GetMouseLocation()
			local ImagePosition = UDim2.fromScale(Position.X,Position.Y)
			ItemImage.Position = ImagePosition
			wait()
		end
	end)

Full script if needed:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Hitbox = script.Parent
local ItemImage = Hitbox.Parent.ItemImage
local ScreenSize = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGUI.AbsoluteSize
Hitbox.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local Position = UIS:GetMouseLocation()
	local ImagePosition = UDim2.fromScale(Position.X/ScreenSize.X,Position.Y/ScreenSize.Y)
	ItemImage.Position = ImagePosition
	UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
		if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
			local Position = UIS:GetMouseLocation()
			local ImagePosition = UDim2.fromScale(Position.X,Position.Y)
			ItemImage.Position = ImagePosition
			wait()
		end
	end)
end)

Set the offset of the position to the mouse position

UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
		local Position = UIS:GetMouseLocation()
		local ImagePosition = UDim2.new(0, Position.X, 0, Position.Y)
		ItemImage.Position = ImagePosition
		task.wait()
	end
end)

If you want the image directly in the middle of the cursor, set the anchor point of ItemImage to 0.5,0.5

This is what happens when doing that. The mouse disappeared when screenshotting, but the circle is where it was

The issue is that the parent (and ascendants/ancestors) of the image kind of offset the image with their size. I’m currently trying to figure out how to get over this

The hierarchy looks like this if you need it:

You could perhaps try parenting the image under something else thats the size of your screen. I don’t know.

Would it work if I just parented to a folder in “Chest” called something like “ClickedSlot”? Chest is parented to ScreenGUI

That would probably work. Only thing I can think of. Sounds very inefficient though.

[MrMatthewGamingX (MrMatthewGaming)]

What if I had an already stored imageLabel that I could just set its image to the slot image when clicked, and make the slot image invisible?

[glowyogurt (glow)]

Yeah, that’s probably the more optimized option. That would prevent a lot of bugs.

Figured it out!

Hitbox.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local Position = UIS:GetMouseLocation()
	local ImagePosition = UDim2.fromOffset(Position.X,Position.Y)
	
	SlotImage.Image = ItemImage.Image
	SlotImage.Counter.Text = ItemImage.Counter.Text
	SlotImage.Position = ImagePosition
	ItemImage.Image = ""
	ItemImage.Counter.Text = ""
	
	
	UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
		local Position = UIS:GetMouseLocation()
		local ImagePosition = UDim2.fromOffset(Position.X,Position.Y)
		SlotImage.Position = ImagePosition
		task.wait()
	end
end)
end)

Thank you for your help!!!
