Here’s the script:

Mouse.Move:Connect(function()

local MousePos = UIS:GetMouseLocation() - game:GetService(“GuiService”):GetGuiInset()

local getGUI = plr:WaitForChild(“PlayerGui”):GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(MousePos.X,MousePos.Y)

print(getGUI.Name)

end)

How to check if mouse is hovering over ANY ui element?

:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition() returns an array. Arrays don’t have a key ‘Name’, which is why your code prints nil. If the function returned nil, you would get an error `“Attempt to index nil with ‘Name’”. If you want to do something with the returned guiObjects, you’ll need a loop.

for i, guiObj in ipairs(getGui) do
    print(guiObj.Name)
end

I mean it would return a table, a table isn’t nil
