Hey! I’m trying to spice up my nametags by adding the player’s level next to it and make the X scale of the textlabel automatically scale. I’ve tried a few things but they just dont scale when I zoom in/out
Im using textscaled btw
Please help if you can, thank you 
What do you mean by this?
If you’re trying to scale a TextLabel from the screen itself and it doesn’t work, it’s likely that you have “Select” turned on in Home which looks like this:
You should turn it off by pressing 1 on your keyboard or just directly clicking Select, then reselect the textlabel. Turning select on means that you’re selecting 3D objects, not 2D UI elements.
nono i mean ingame I want its size to change depending on the name length so the text size doesnt differ. I also want it to still scale depending on zoom
You should set Automatic Size to:
X
Y
XY
thx but the sizes are scale so when I zoom out its gonna be huge
Hmm… odd. You should look for things on the DevForum similar to this.
i want it to automatically scale
It’s not possible to resize it correctly, as Roblox’s game engine requires scaled text to be wrapped, or the text would look weird.
But, if you turn off TextWrapped, TextScaled will go with it.
rivals did it in some way and the level/rank perfectly aligns with it
Possibly using UIGridLayout or UIListLayout. Try out both. See how it goes.
ye i use listlayout but i need the name to scale correctly bc like the level thingy goes away if i zoom out and use any other method
Like I said, you can use UIGridLayout to possibly fix the issue.
it will limit the name size thooo
well i ended up finding my own fix
Want to share how, incase someone else has the same problem and finds this post?
No idea how @illusi_nz did theirs, but here’s how I would do it:
There’s a property called TextBounds which refers to the absolute size of text. Assuming that…
TextLabel and have already set up it’s size to what you expect it to beTextLabel uses scale (e.g. Udim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0))We can store defaultTextBounds and say whenever the text changes – we make a ratio between the current text’s TextBounds and defaultTextBounds. Here’s how the code would look like:
-- at the very start
local defaultTextBounds = text.TextBounds
-- whenever text changes, run this
local newToDefaultRatio = (text.TextBounds.X / defaultTextBounds.X)
text.Size = UDim2.fromScale(1 * newToDefaultRatio, 1)
i did this
local function updatePos()
cl.NameInfo.Username.RankImage.Position = UDim2.new(0.485, -cl.NameInfo.Username.TextBounds.X / 2 * cl.NameInfo.Username.AbsoluteSize.Y / cl.NameInfo.Username.TextBounds.Y, 0.5, 0)
cl.NameInfo.Username.Position = UDim2.new(.5,cl.NameInfo.Username.RankImage.AbsoluteSize.X/2,.5,0)
end
