How Can I get a gui position

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I’m m having trouble with getting gui positions using; BasePlayerGui | Roblox Creator Documentation

And

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/GuiObject/MouseEnter

I’m not exactly sure how to use them. My goal is to see when a gui is created and what position it’s in, or what a player clicks on it what position it’s in, thanks.

If you’re talking about getting all the objects at the mouse position, then you can use the arguments of UserInputService:GetMousePosition() to get the mouse position:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local BasePlayerGui = -- StarterGui, PlayerGui, CoreGui

local guisInPosition = BasePlayerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(
    UIS:GetMouseLocation().X,
    UIS:GetMouseLocation().Y
) -- Returns a table of all the objects at the mouse position

for _, GuiObject in ipairs(guisInPosition) do
    print(GuiObject)
end

If you want to get the guis when the player clicks, then you just have to hook it up to a mouse connection:

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
        -- run code to get guis at position
    end
end)

Keep in mind that :GetMouseLocation() only returns objects in that position with their Active property set to true.

Looks like you forgot to call a function there

Ok so I did this but I get an error.
This is the script Im using:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local BasePlayerGui = game.StarterGui-- StarterGui, PlayerGui, CoreGui

	local guisInPosition = BasePlayerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(
		UIS:GetMousePosition(0, 0).X,
		UIS:GetMousePosition(0, 0).Y
	) -- Returns a table of all the objects at the mouse position

for _, GuiObject in ipairs(guisInPosition) do
	print(GuiObject)
end

Error = GetMousePosition is not a valid member of UserInputService “Instance”

pretty sure he meant “GetMouseLocation”
