Hello, I am trying to create a banland kind of database for my game, but instead of pages, I want a scrolling frame, but the issue is that the way scrolling frame with with scaling it is all messed up. So I am trying to fix it, and it gets affected to the minuscule level of spacing

Video example: https://youtu.be/qWTdsAx1WLQ

local banLandHandled = false
local template = banLandSet.Template

banLand.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	set_Select_Visible(banLandSet.Parent)
	
	if banLandHandled then return end
	banLandHandled = true
	
	banLandEvent:FireServer()
	
	local AbsolTemp = template.AbsoluteSize.Y
	local AbsolScroll = banLandSet.AbsoluteSize.Y
	
	local absoluteSizeEx = 0
	
	local result = AbsolTemp/AbsolScroll
	
	banLandEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(banLandTable)
		print("Recieved", banLandTable, print(#banLandTable))
		
		local amount = 0
		local spacing = 0.03
		local numberOfChildren = 0
		
		for _, _ in banLandTable do
			numberOfChildren += 1
		end
		
		local fixatedSpacingSize = 0.03*AbsolScroll
		
		local mathEquation = ((numberOfChildren +1) * AbsolTemp) + ((numberOfChildren-1) * fixatedSpacingSize)
		if mathEquation > AbsolScroll then
			banLandSet.CanvasSize = UDim2.new(banLandSet.Size.X.Scale, 0, (mathEquation/AbsolScroll), 0)
		end
		
		spacing = spacing/banLandSet.CanvasSize.Y.Scale
		local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
		local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size48x48
		
		for users, info in banLandTable do
			amount += 1
			
			local clone = template:Clone()
			clone.Parent = banLandSet
			clone.Name = users
			clone.Visible = true
			clone.Size = UDim2.new(template.Size.X.Scale, 0, math.round((result/banLandSet.CanvasSize.Y.Scale)*10000)/10000 , 0)
			print(result, banLandSet.CanvasSize.Y.Scale, math.round((result/banLandSet.CanvasSize.Y.Scale)*10000)/10000)
			
			clone.Position = UDim2.new(template.Position.X.Scale, 0, (((amount-1) * clone.Size.Y.Scale) + ((amount-1) * spacing)), 0)
			
			absoluteSizeEx += clone.AbsoluteSize.Y
			
			clone.ID.Text = tostring(users)
			clone.Username.Text = tostring(game:GetService("Players"):GetNameFromUserIdAsync(users))
			
			local content, isReady = game:GetService("Players"):GetUserThumbnailAsync(users, thumbType, thumbSize)
			clone.ImageLabel.Image = content
		end
		
		print(banLandSet.AbsoluteCanvasSize.Y, absoluteSizeEx + ((amount-1) * spacing))
	end)
end)

If you have any idea on how to fix this please let me know!

Instead of doing all that math, you can try using the AutomaticCanvasSize property on ScrollingFrames. If you use it, make sure that the normal CanvasSize is set to 0 otherwise it’ll bug out.

Also if you’re using UIListLayouts the padding property will also bug it out :sob:, so you might need to add your own padding.

Oh wow, I feel dumb now, I had no idea this even existed I wasted like a day on something that already exists. Thank you!
