Hello so recently i’ve been working on a pet game and i’ve been wondering on how to make a frame which scales based on the contents of the frame

(im using a normal frame for this)

Your question is vague – are you looking to resize the frame, downscale the children inside the frame, or do something else?

If you’re just trying to make the children scale with frame size, use the Scale portion of the Size property to do that. The AbsoluteWindowSize property may also be of use if you’re looking to downscale the children themselves.

If you’re just trying to fit things into the frame, look into UIListLayout and/or UIGridLayout. They’ll automatically position the children of the frame to fit neatly into a grid or a list.

I would use AutomaticSize property on the main frame. I cannot see how doing that to the main frame is changing content size instead of the frame itself.

while yes it changes the frames size based on the children it also changes the size based on the x - y axis which is not what i want

#18

Couldn’t you choose whether it should change X, Y or both?

#19

What do you mean by “size” on the second time? First is frame’s size but what is the second?
