I haven’t made it so it chooses which label got selected. It just moves to a random position along the list of labels, so I’d need to figure out a way to do that first, is there a way I can find which label is under the arrow?
I’m confused, I made it so it gives each label an ID and then after they’re all loaded, chooses a random one to be the selected one. I don’t know how I’m supposed to make it go to that one’s position though.
well, all i can tell you is, read the post i linked
The part I don’t understand is the actual getting it to move to the right one. My rolling ui is set up differently, and uses a UIGridLayout to keep all the boxes in a row, and I don’t know if that affects how I have to do it.
In the tutorial there are no layout instances used; you should consider switching your ui, it shouldn’t be that hard.
As you can see, they decided to offset the labels
local crateSizeX = template.AbsoluteSize.X
local crateGapX = 10
local crateTotalGapX = crateSizeX + crateGapX
for i = 1, contents.Crates do
local crate = template:Clone()
crate.Name = "Crate"..i
crate.Position = crate.Position + UDim2.new(0, crateTotalGapX*(i-1), 0, 0)
crate.Parent = holder
end
firstly determine the size of the label (local crateSizeX = template.AbsoluteSize.X)
and to get the position of the n(th) label you calculate it as (sizeX + gap) * (n-1)
minus 1 so the first label is always in the center of the screen
Now you simply need to pick a random label, make it say whatever you decided to win earlier (check out this post too)
and then animate the scroller to move to the offset that the label is at
I tried the new method for making the grid and it seems to be mostly working but the boxes aren’t scaled correctly on the Y axis now.
I can’t really tell you much without seeing your ui structure
This is the ui in the explorer. Box is the template for the labels, and RollUI.Frame is the main frame that the boxes go into.
Well, i suppose change the template size 
check out the SizeConstraint property too
It’s much closer to what I’m going for now, however it lands a little to the left of the center. This is the script
local selectedBox = nil
task.wait(1)
local SelectedAura = math.random(55, 110)
for i, v in RollUI.Frame:GetChildren() do
if v.Name == "Box" then
print(SelectedAura)
print(v.ID.Value)
if v:WaitForChild("ID").Value == SelectedAura then
selectedBox = v
end
end
end
local finalPosition = UDim2.fromOffset(-(auraboxtemplate.AbsoluteSize.X + 10) * (selectedBox.ID.Value-1), 183.787)
RollUI.Frame.Visible = true
RollUI.Arrow.Visible = true
ts:Create(RollUI.Frame, TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Exponential, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {Position = finalPosition}):Play()
Where it lands on the box:
Can you show me where you assign the other label’s positions?
also you can swap a part to this:
for _, v in RollUI.Frame:GetChildren() do
if v.Name == "Box" and v.ID.Value == SelectedAura then
selectedBox = v
break
end
end
These 3 lines make the new labels and give them their positions
local newBox = auraboxtemplate:Clone()
newBox.Position = newBox.Position + UDim2.new(0, crateTotalGapX*(i-1), 0, 0)
newBox.Parent = RollUI.Frame
Okay but can you show me where you assign crateTotalGapX too
I put them near the top of the script so they can be used anywhere.
local crateSizeX = auraboxtemplate.AbsoluteSize.X
local crateGapX = 10
local crateTotalGapX = crateSizeX + crateGapX
Okay, i don’t know then since you do add the gap
Just try playing around with it untill you get someting that works
Found the solution, I had to multiply the crateGapX by 2 when I got the final position for the roller to go to.
local finalPosition = UDim2.fromOffset(-(crateSizeX + crateGapX*2) * (selectedBox.ID.Value-1), 183.787)
Nevermind, that apparently didn’t fix it? It worked the first time but not the second.
It seems to just be extremely inconsistent in general. Sometimes it lands on the far right, sometimes it lands to the left, and sometimes it lands close to the center, which really doesn’t change no matter how I modify the script.
Major update: Apparently it’s actually just not even going to the right box at all, which would explain the inconsistency. I don’t have enough time to finish this today so I’ll come back to it tomorrow.
So I managed to fix it by trying a completely different method. I ended up using a scrolling frame instead and moved the canvasposition.
