Keep Gui Position When Re-Parented?

I have a gui that I drag around and when the player lets go, it re-parents itself to another gui. But when you let go, the position gets messed up because the gui it gets parented to is a different size than the one it was parented to before. Here’s a video of it happening:

How to keep gui pos and size when re-parented.. but in scale?

Use absolute position

Frame.Position = Udim2.new(0,Frame.AbsolutePositon.X,0,Frame.AbsolutePositon.Y)

This is the part of my script that changes the position:

local delta = input.Position - dragStart
blockClone.Position = UDim2.new(startPos.X.Scale, startPos.X.Offset + delta.X, startPos.Y.Scale, startPos.Y.Offset + delta.Y)

Do you know how I could change this?

#4

just add it at the start of the script, the scale is the problem, Scale position is dependent on the Parent size and position

#5

So change scale to absoluteposition?

#6

yes convert the whole position as i wrote above

#7

It said AbsolutePositon is not a valid member of TextButton "Players.Wildcutepenguin.PlayerGui.BlocksGui.Blocks.TextButton".

#8

i misspelled position
i missed an i after t

Nvm, I found it.

It does the exact same thing I have right now but without the current modifications I have made. Does anyone else know how to achieve what I’m wanting here?

I have found the solution:
