local Map = {}

local function SetAnchorPoint(Gui, DesiredAnchor)
	print("fired")
	local Canvas = Gui.Parent -- Object's Parent GUI (AbsoluteSize needed for Scaling.)
	local ParentSize = Canvas.AbsoluteSize
	-- tada:
	local ParentPosition = Canvas.AbsolutePosition
	local ChildSize = Gui.AbsoluteSize
	local ChildPosition = Gui.AbsolutePosition
	-- tada:
	ChildPosition = ChildPosition - ParentPosition

	local CorrectionOffsetX = ChildSize.X * DesiredAnchor.X
	local CorrectionOffsetY = ChildSize.Y * DesiredAnchor.Y

	local CorrectedUDim2 = UDim2.fromScale((ChildPosition.X + CorrectionOffsetX) / ParentSize.X, (ChildPosition.Y + CorrectionOffsetY) / ParentSize.Y)
	Gui.AnchorPoint = DesiredAnchor
	Gui.Position = CorrectedUDim2
	print(CorrectedUDim2)
end

function Map.MoveMouseAnchor(Map, Mouse)
	local DesiredAnchr = Vector2.new(Mouse.X / 1000, Mouse.Y / 1000)
	SetAnchorPoint(Map, DesiredAnchr)
end


return Map

I’m trying to achomplish a similar thing and move the anchorpoint to the mouse position. the GUI does not remain in its spot.

I’m kinda late to the party but this piece of code greatly helped me too :slight_smile:
