How to detect when a gui object is outside the player's screen?

I am trying to make it so that if the player’s mouse is hovering over a gui object, it has a gui that moves with the mouse. It’s working, but the problem is is that sometimes it can move outside the player’s screen. Is there any way I can detect when it’s outside of the player’s screen? For example, Adopt Me has something like this: yes - Album on Imgur

Anyone know how to do this (detecting it)?

hmmm…

i don’t know exactly but,
maybe you could make some sort of like… region2 somehow?

then detect if the guis position is in the region2

I don’t know how you would do this, but that’s all I could think of…
Hope this helps!

Every GuiObject has an AbsoluteSize property which tells you exactly how big the object is.

There are four conditions to determine if an object is out of bounds of the player’s screen.

GuiObject.AbsoluteSize.X + MousePosition.X < 0
GuiObject.AbsoluteSize.X + MousePosition.X > ScreenGui.AbsoluteSize.X

GuiObject.AbsoluteSize.Y + MousePosition.Y < 0
GuiObject.AbsoluteSize.Y + MousePosition.Y > ScreenGui.AbsoluteSize.Y

You can use the GuiObject’s Position and Size to determine if it’s off the screen.

GuiObject.Position.X.Scale + GuiObject.Size.X.Scale
GuiObject.Position.Y.Scale + GuiObject.Size.Y.Scale

if either of these are greater than 1, you will know the GuiObject is beyond the right or bottom of the screen.
