Hunger bar changing size and position when i start the game

Help and Feedback Code Review
#1

Can someone please help me figure out why my gui bar changes size and position after the game starts?

-- LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local hungerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("HungerGui")
local hungerBar = hungerGui:WaitForChild("HungerBar")
local fillFrame = hungerBar:WaitForChild("Fill")

local maxHunger = 100
local currentHunger = maxHunger

local foodFolder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("FoodFolder")
local eating = false

-- Customizable hunger decrease rate in seconds and decrease amount
local hungerDecreaseRate = 2  -- Decreases hunger every 2 seconds
local hungerDecreaseAmount = 1  -- Decrease hunger by 1 unit each time

-- Function to update the hunger bar UI
local function updateHungerBar()
    fillFrame.Size = UDim2.new(currentHunger / maxHunger, 0, 1, 0)
end

-- Function to handle eating food
local function eatFood(food)
    if eating then return end
    eating = true
    
    local hungerValue = food:FindFirstChild("HungerValue")
    if hungerValue then
        currentHunger = math.min(currentHunger + hungerValue.Value, maxHunger)
        updateHungerBar()
        
        -- Play eating sound
        local sound = food:FindFirstChildOfClass("Sound")
        if sound then
            sound:Play()
        end
        
        -- Disable food and particles
        food.Transparency = 1
        food.CanCollide = false
        for _, emitter in ipairs(food:GetChildren()) do
            if emitter:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
                emitter.Enabled = false
            end
        end
        
        -- Respawn food after 5 seconds
        wait(5)
        if food and food.Parent then
            food.Transparency = 0
            food.CanCollide = true
            for _, emitter in ipairs(food:GetChildren()) do
                if emitter:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
                    emitter.Enabled = true
                end
            end
        end
    end
    eating = false
end

-- Function to find the nearest food within a certain distance
local function findNearestFood()
    local nearestFood = nil
    local shortestDistance = math.huge
    local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    
    for _, food in ipairs(foodFolder:GetChildren()) do
        if food:IsA("BasePart") and food.Transparency == 0 then
            local distance = (food.Position - rootPart.Position).magnitude
            if distance < shortestDistance and distance <= 5 then
                shortestDistance = distance
                nearestFood = food
            end
        end
    end
    
    return nearestFood
end

-- Function to handle key press for eating
local function onKeyPress(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
    if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
        local food = findNearestFood()
        if food then
            eatFood(food)
        end
    end
end

-- Bind the "E" key to eat food
game.ContextActionService:BindAction("EatFood", onKeyPress, false, Enum.KeyCode.E)

-- Decrease hunger over time
spawn(function()
    while true do
        wait(hungerDecreaseRate)
        currentHunger = currentHunger - hungerDecreaseAmount
        if currentHunger <= 0 then
            humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
        end
        updateHungerBar()
    end
end)

Is your bars size scale? And have you tried adding UIAspectRatioConstraint to the bar?

I grabbed a random health bar from the tool box and now it works. Not sure what was happening with it.
