Hey! Thanks so much, is it possible if you could walk me through this line’s math, and what each element of it does? (In depth if possible) Thankyou!
local XVal = math.clamp((AM.X + Main.AbsolutePosition.X) * (percentage),Main.AbsolutePosition.X,Main.AbsolutePosition.X + AM.X)
Also, my code doesn’t seem to be working. The imagelabel just never shows up! Any feedback?

local function check(name)
local tbl = {}
for _, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
table.insert(tbl, v.Name)
end
if table.find(tbl,name) then
return false
else
return true
end
end

task.wait(5)

if canRun == false then return end

print("Yes")
local imageLabel = frame[plr.Name]
local bool = check(imageLabel.Name)
if bool then
print("NO")

end

Im not completely sure, but this also depends on how you’ve set up the UI itself. The big grey line and the white square is under the same screen gui and share the same space. Meaning in the workspace, they’re right next to each other in the hierarchy, that most definitely would pose a problem. I would recommend you to put the image label into frame.Parent instead, that may help.
Why would that do anything, and also that would kinda break the script as it is right now. Is there a way to change how we put the percentage onto the ui so that it in can be in the frame?
It wouldn’t break the script, or at least it shouldn’t, you should also move your ui the way I described and resize it accordingly. I’ll send you the place file if I get yours to work.
This is how I made it look now
Yeah, that’s what I did in my updated script.
Hi, thankyou, I obviously have to fix that bug and add the ability for multiple players to be on it, but thankyou. And sorry @kyler_josiah that I didn’t see yours sooner. Thanks guys
Hey, sorry for another reply, but when I tried implementing having multiple players in it, it doesn’t work anymore? Could you please help me, I have been trying to fix this and I can’t.

My one also has multiple player support in it. Just saying
I have implemented your algorithm bc the other one was kinda hitchy, into my multiple players system and now none are showing up? Could you help me (will give solution to you) . It works when there is one player if that helps at all.

Yeah for sure! Well as self explanatory the first part is, math.clamp clamps a value between two given numbers, here’s the documentation
What we’re doing is we’re clamping a value which we give it, which is the absolute size of the big slider + its absolute position, both in the X-axis, what this does, it gives us the starting position for the players icon to be at, here’s a terrible drawing to illustrate:
Then we multiply by the percentage, which is between 1 and 0. 0 Starting at the left side and 1 ending at the right and for example, .5 ending in the middle! Handy, right?. Then the minimum value we use for the clamp is the far left side of the bar, which is just it’s absolute position on the X-axis. While the max value is the far end. I apologize if I didn’t go into enough depth, I know I’d suck as a teacher haha. However, hope this helps.
Thank you so much! I think I understand it more now. Alas, is there any way you can help me fix the above code too or no?
Sure I’ll have a look at it. CHARS
Yeah so the code works perfectly fine, it’s just you’re not able to test in roblox studio with multiple players as the pseudo-players Player1 and Player2 don’t return a thumbnail. If you go in-game with actual players you’ll find it works.
Ahhhh alright thankyou sdsdfsdfsdfsdfsdf
Sorry I haven’t responded in a while. Why not just replace all of your code with my code, my code works completely fine, and works with multiple people.
I had to change it because it will only track multiple players at the start of the server, and if a player leaves it stays there
