I’m trying to make this screen Gui move by taking away it’s current X coordinate by 0.1. However I can’t figure out how to do it without the script crash because it expected a number. I tried assigning the X coordinate to a variable and using that variable - 0.1 but that’s not working either.
local selection_1_X = menu.selection1.Position.X
while true do
if menu:WaitForChild('show_menu').Value == true then
menu:WaitForChild('show_menu').Value = false
print ("Opening menu.")
-- initiating values
menu.Visible = true
menu.selection1.Position = UDim2.new(1.1, 0, 0, 0.12, 0)
menu.selection2.Position = UDim2.new(1.1, 0, 0, 0.31, 0)
menu.selection3.Position = UDim2.new(1.1, 0, 0, 0.5, 0)
menu.selection4.Position = UDim2.new(1.1, 0, 0, 0.69, 0)
menu.selection5.Position = UDim2.new(1.1, 0, 0, 0.88, 0)
for i = 0,62,1 do
menu.selection1.Position = UDim2.new(selection_1_X - 0.1, 0, 0, 0.12, 0)
end
end
wait (0.1)
end

Can you give us the error message?

Use TweenService instead, it is way better than what you are doing.

Where does line 17 point to? Also, I thought UDim2 took a maximum of 4 values, not 5

This variable doesn’t return a number. You have to use either the Scale or the Offset of it (menu.selection1.Position.X.Scale or menu.selection1.Position.X.Offset) In this case I think you would want to use the Scale

ok thanks it worked im still having some issues where the button is not moving but i think i can fix it by myself
I would use TweenService for this:
show_menu.Changed:Connect(function(bool)
if bool == true then
show_menu.Value = false
menu.Visible = true
TweenService:Create(menu, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {Position = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 0.88, 0)}):Play()
end
end)
As a side note having a while loop to check every so often for a change in a BoolValue is very inefficient, listen for the ‘Changed’ event.

Thanks for pointing out the thing with the bool. l’ll change it later as it will take a bit of time. I’m not very familiar with the TweenService so I’m not sure if I’ll use it. But I’ll see if I can learn it.
