How do I make a frame longer depending on the length of text

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Basically, say I have a frame that’s the shape of a square with a textlabel inside of it
How can I stretch it on the X axis to match the length of the text
PS: I do know about TextLabel.TextBounds, but I have no idea how to “add” that to the size of the frame

#2

Just make the frame the parent of text, maybe then it streches.

#3

That seems like extremely bad practice

#4

Ok wait, if you need script, I’ll try myself and tell you in a moment

#5

use AutomaticSize and set it to X

its on properties

#6

He needs to detect if the size is changed and if it is, then scale the textlabel

#8

Try this - (Maybe I’m wrong because I’m directly writing)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local frame = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:WaitForChild(whatever the frame is)

frame:GetPropertySignalChanged("Size"):Connect(function()
--Change the text label bounds
end)
#9

No no the string doesn’t change after creation (via script)
It’s just there are multiple possibilities for the text
Lemme rephrase the question so yall stop throwing workarounds:
How do I make a frame longer or shorter based on the textbounds of a textlabel

#10

Try this now

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local frame = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:WaitForChild(whatever the frame is)
local textlabel = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:WaitForChild(whatever the textlabel is)

textlabel:GetPropertySignalChanged("TextBounds"):Connect(function()
--Change the frame's size
end)

Edit:You said the text can’t change after creation, then how can it change it’s TextBounds and why should it ? I don’t really understood

#11

Holy god I swear
I have a textlabel with text which DOES NOT change, however it isn’t always the same string as it pulls it randomly from a table
Also I ALREADY HAVE THE TEXTBOUNDS all I need is to know HOW DO I APPLY IT TO THE ACTUAL FRAME

#12

Wait, are you asking that how can you make the size of the frame based on textbounds ?

#13

dude
frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, TextLabel.TextBounds.X, frame.Size.Y.Scale, frame.Size.Y.Offset)

#14

YES
I need to change the frame’s size on the X axis depending on the TextBounds of a TextLabel

#15

Hmmm…So it must be easy I guess

#16

Just change the frame size on the X to the textbounds on X

#17

Try this now

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local frame = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:WaitForChild(whatever the frame is)
local textlabel = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui:WaitForChild(whatever the textlabel is)

textlabel:GetPropertySignalChanged("TextBounds"):Connect(function()
--Change the frame's size
end)
