.Position() not working

Hello developers, for some reason when I used this code, Text.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.04, 0), the position just does not change… I don’t know why…?

I thought that it was weird and so I checked this, and I used the correct code. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Could we see what Text is? (Is it the Text itself or a TextLabel)

#4

Maybe you have to use CFrame ?

#5

OP is talking about the position of a gui object, not a basepart

It’s a TextLabel. (character limit)

Show how you define the variable Text

Better yet show the whole script… nothing is wrong with the snippet you showed us, but it doesnt show a change in position, only the position. We need to see more.

local Text = script.Parent
Text.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.04, 0)

Try this out:

local Text = script.Parent
warn("OLD POS: " .. Text.Position)
Text.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.04, 0)
warn("NEW POS: " .. Text.Position)

Sorry for the late response, plus bumping this back up but I’m still having issues with this & this didn’t do anything.

What does the script provided by DownRest says

It says,

try

local Text = script.Parent
warn(string.format("OLD POS: %s", Text.Position))
Text.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.04, 0)
warn(string.format("NEW POS: %s", Text.Position))

image, line 47.

warn(string.format("OLD POS: %s", MainFrame.Position))

Not sure if it matters but I am using a Frame and not a TextLabel anymore.

#16

It shouldn’t matter if its a frame nor a textlabel

local Text = script.Parent
warn("OLD POS: ".. tostring(Text.Position))
Text.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.04, 0)
warn("NEW POS: ".. tostring(Text.Position))

Alright, it printed the following,

But the frame’s position didn’t actually change. (Using a localscript.)

#18

If any other developer has any ideas why it’s printing the new position but not actually showing let me know. :slight_smile:

#19

Can we see the picture of explorer where this Frame located?

#20

Is the UI visible on your screen and can you show the hierarchy of your StarterGui?

#21

Maybe the UI is moved before you even see it?
Did you check the properties to verify the position didn’t change?
