I’m making a debug menu for a game and I would like it to make it so everytime theres a new message, its below the last message, like in the Developer Console GUI, I have found the dev console gui on roblox, but i’m not sure how to get an effect like that

You can use a scrolling frame with an UIListLayout

UiListLayout? Go watch a tutorial and you might find something useful.

There is an UIListLayout in the GUI, but im not sure how to make it work

5

You can set the VerticalAlignment to Bottom, and add more labels to the ScrollingFrame. The label positions will automatically be set.

After that, on a new message would I just add a textlabel to the scrolling frame and it would set its position automatically?

Tried it out in a script, but text isnt appearing: Here’s my script

game:GetService("LogService").MessageOut:Connect(function(Message, Type)
	local msg = Instance.new("TextLabel", script.Parent.Parent.ClientLog)
	msg.Font = Enum.Font.Jura
	msg.TextXAlignment = Enum.TextXAlignment.Left
	msg.BackgroundTransparency = 1
	msg.TextSize = 20
	msg.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
	if Type == Enum.MessageType.MessageOutput then
		msg.Text = ""..Message.."" --..tostring(Type)
	elseif Type == Enum.MessageType.MessageInfo then
		msg.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,100,255)
		msg.Text = ""..Message..""
	elseif Type == Enum.MessageType.MessageWarning then
		msg.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,200,255)
		msg.Text = ""..Message..""
	elseif Type == Enum.MessageType.MessageError then
		msg.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
		msg.Text = ""..Message..""
		end
end)

That’s a pretty silly mistake, you forgot to give the text label a size :sweat_smile:
