ya I’m pretty sure you needa script that. I would never really spend time on something like this so I have no idea how to make it but ig just change textlabel position.

Text label you can type into ye that new property they added to the text label

Jokes aside there should be a property that lets you scroll in textboxes or something otherwise you should script it

Edit: it seems it didn’t reply to op

Got itt!!

Create a Frame with the desired position and size, and make sure to set ClipsDescendants to true.

Parent the TextBox to the frame and set these properties:
Position - {0, 0}, {0, 0}
AnchorPoint - 0, 0
Size - {5, 0}, {1, 0} (The X scale is maximum overflows the textbox will do)

Afterwards, create a LocalScript (parent to textbox) with this code

local TextBox = script.Parent
local Frame = TextBox.Parent

TextBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	if TextBox.TextBounds.X > Frame.AbsoluteSize.X * (1-TextBox.Position.X.Scale) then
		TextBox.Position -= UDim2.fromScale(1,0)
	elseif TextBox.TextBounds.X <= Frame.AbsoluteSize.X * -TextBox.Position.X.Scale then
		TextBox.Position += UDim2.fromScale(1,0)
	end
end)
