For Roblox’s previous loading screen, there was a square texture that was scaled and duplicated across columns (filled down; started new column after screen was covered). How do I figure out what size I require so I can do the duplication (for i = 1, ResultForRowsNeeded do for j = 1, i do)?
I know that the calculation required the AbsoluteSize field of the PlayerGui, that’s about it.
A seamless texture may do that work, otherwise a bunch of scripting with math.
Set the ScaleType property of the ImageLabel to Tile
You can use this property of ImageLabels to make an image tile repeatedly over the area of the ImageLabel.

My mistake, I didn’t clear up that I’m already aware of the ScaleType property for ImageLabels. I specifically need to be able to perform the function I stated in the OP, which is resizing and tiling based on the AbsoluteSize property of a ScreenGui. This is because
A. I’m using Frames, not ImageLabels.
B. I need to be able to interact with each tile.
It’d be most helpful if someone had the script for the previous loading screen.

This code is not completely functional, but it may give you the right idea.
screenGui:GetPropertyChangedSignal("AbsoluteSize"):Connect(function(newAbsoluteSize)
-- Do something to delete all but the first frame
local numCols = math.ceil(newAbsoluteSize.X / frame.AbsoluteSize.X)
local numRows = math.ceil(newAbsoluteSize.Y / frame.AbsoluteSize.Y)
for i = 1, #numCols do
for j = 1, #numRows do
local newFrame = frame:Clone()
newFrame.Position = UDim2.new(0, frame.AbsoluteSize.X * (i - i), 0, frame.AbsoluteSize.Y * (j - 1))
-- Any other stuff for interaction and things
end
end
end)
And would you know it. When I was looking for it, I couldn’t find it but when I wasn’t, I suddenly found it. The answer to my question, along with other helpful responses above, is in a private model I own that is literally and so conveniently titled “roblox loadscreen tiling repro”. Wow.
