Scaling down a GUI when an object is clicked

Why not use Udim2.new instead of fromscale?

#22

Extra unneeded parameters with the same outcome. I’ve switched to offset instead of scale to see if that would work.

No change - here is what is happening in video:

Looks like the frame isn’t sizing properly not sure why as you’re using division.

#25

Your editing a Frame that’s inside workspace not the one in PlayerGui. Change the code so that it edits the correct one.

#26

I am, but it is a BillboardGui underneath the block so it dosent (i think) replicate it to PlayerGui

#27

It’s hard to really say what’s wrong at this point, I’m lost in your structure and what your trying to edit…

#28

Its just a health bar that decreases by a quarter every time you click the corresponding part. I just need the way to size the frame down by a quarter until it disappears.

#29

Final attempt; game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(gui)
local frame = workspace.Folder.kabob.BillboardGui.Frame
frame.Size = UDim2.new(frame.Size.X / 2, frame.Size.Y)
end)

#30

If you want a quarter change the 2 to 4

#31

Unless you’re firing on server instead of client.

#32

Aren’t you basically just dividing the size by half every time?
If you want the bar to go down by 1/4 evenly then you’re gonna subtract the size by 1/4 of the original size.

Say the size is like 200? You can do the math like this (assuming the frame.Size.X is 200):

frame.Size = UDim2.fromScale(frame.Size.X.Scale - 200/4, frame.Size.Y.Scale)

Of course you can change the 200 to the AbsoluteSize.X of the parent (if there’s no change to the parent while the health bar is decreasing, or you can make a variable with the max limit beforehand.

Why not just divide the size by 4? Instead of size - size/4

#34

That would make the health bar 1/4 of the original size, or the bar go down by 3/4.

#35

I’ve just got a LocalScript underneath the BillboardGui - its still not working, I think it might be something on my end like script position or similar.

The code:
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(gui)
	local frame = workspace.Folder.kabob.BillboardGui.Frame
	frame.Size = UDim2.new(frame.Size.X / 2, frame.Size.Y)
end)
#36

No but it checks for the size every time the remote event was fired.

#37

Is the size of the frame the same size or smaller than the billboard?

#38

Is there an error???

Why character limit?

#39

The same size - {0, 200},{0, 50}

#40

Nope

a a a a a a a character limit
