So I want the frame to clip the text label, but the text label has scaled with the frame size Y but not frame size X. I want to text the scale with screen size X. So it is just static when the frame change size X, but is clip.

I don’t understand what you’re actually trying to do… You need to explain it better plus I don’t have anything to see or work off of

You want it to slowly take up the frame size?

How can I explain more to you? The question is in front of your eyes

#7

So, for example, you want when the size of the frame is (1,0,1,0) it takes up the whole screen, and not the space that it’s parented to?

#8

Yes, but Y is scaled with the frame and the textlabel has to be inside the frame because it needs to be cut off by the frame, but the text size cannot change or the textlabel size unless the screen size is change.

Excuze my animation power. I only can draw with mouse.

Cant you just use a separate ScreenGui? Or make a script that scales it for you? Or, you can try putting the GUI in a folder, never tried but it might work.

This is not my problem. I don’t want text to be scaled with the frame scaling. I want textlabel to stay in same place but the text is clipped with the frame. How do you do that? Can you please view my animation and diagramme

Um, you can still make the label as long as you want. Just mess around with the X until its the size of the screen (you can go past one). If you’re worried about different devices, I think using a plugin like AutoScale fixes it up.

Also, what does “textlabel cutoff by frame” mean?
