TextBox Text going from right to left and TextTransparency won't change

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi everyone,
I’m having trouble with a TextBox in my Roblox UI. Two things are happening:

1. The text in the TextBox is aligning from right to left, and it doesn’t appear centered even though I’ve tried adjusting the alignment properties.

2. The TextTransparency property doesn’t seem to update. When I set it in a script (e.g. TextBox.TextTransparency = 0.5), nothing changes visually.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Set TextXAlignment = Enum.TextXAlignment.Center
  • Positioned the TextBox with AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5) and Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)
  • Tried different transparency values, including 0 and 1
  • Confirmed the script is running (added prints)

Still, the issues persist. Has anyone experienced this or know what might be causing it? I couldn’t find anything helpful online
Thanks in advance!

Looks like your input box TextXAlignment isn’t set to Center.

I trying to recreate it… Just saying that is what it looks like. Is the Input box a different box with that not set to center?

You’re just rewording what I said one of my problems were.
