How to check Frame Position using if statement

#1

I tried to check the frame position but it’s not working.
Local Script:

if Frame.Position.X.Scale == 0.5 and Frame.Position.Y.Scale == -0.7 then
   print("Open")
else
   print("Close")
end

I don’t understand entirely, why are you using .Scale there if you’re trying to check the position? (Sorry I am not the best with GUI properties)

#3

so I can fit the UI on all devices.

#4

I see, but this code is checking the whether the scale is equal to 0.5 or -0.7. Shouldn’t you just be checking the size and then fitting it to all devices?

#5

why would I do that I just want to check the position of the frame.

Full Script:

local function TweenFrames(Frame)

	local FrameTweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Elastic, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)

	print("Run")
	if Frame.Position.X.Scale == 0.5 and Frame.Position.Y.Scale == -0.7 then
		print(Frame.Position)
		local FrameTween = TweenService:Create(Frame, FrameTweenInfo, {Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)})
		FrameTween:Play()
	else
		local FrameTween = TweenService:Create(Frame, FrameTweenInfo, {Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -0.7, 0)})
		FrameTween:Play()
	end
end

Sorry I meant position. Try something like this:

if Frame.Position.X == 0.5 and Frame.Position.Y == -0.7 then
-- the rest
#8

The code doesn’t work. It only prints Run.

#9

Nothing appears to be wrong here, if you haven’t already done so, try adding a print statement under if and else to see what happens and if that doesn’t do anything, I would recommend restarting Studio.

If I am not mistaken, you cant compare the X and Y values directly like that.

This won’t work due to floating point precision errors, machines represent base 10 (decimal) numbers using base 2 (binary), consequently certain numbers can’t be represented exactly, i.e; the square root of 2.

To resolve this you could convert the numbers into integers and compare those instead, as integers are not subject to these precision errors.

if math.round(Frame.Position.X.Scale * 10) == 5 then
	--Do code.
end

Thank You so much for making this. Been trying to figure out how to make if position functions for a while now.
