Difficulty of an action is not a static, global variable from person to person. Some may think it's hard, others easy.
I, for one, think it's very easy as well. However this would greatly decrease the time needed to create the gui, instead of putting in multiple numbers and testing numerous times to get it right, where you could instantly move it where you wanted without worry.
One of the things I hate about the numbers is that if the denominator of a number in fraction form is not part of the 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, etc series, it creates a long string of decimals. For example, typing in 0.1 gives you 0.100000006 or something like that, and in my opinion is a pain to change, much like those e numbers.
So for those of you saying that this would be pointless because it's so easy, think about others before yourself and stop being so selfish. |

@turma: LUA IS NOT AN ACRONYM. It's Lua, which is Portuguese for Moon.
@Thread: GUIs are just inserting objects (like Parts), then changing a few numbers in the Properties window. If you want to script a GUI, it's just like learning how to script a door or anything else, you have to learn it. |

@SW777, actually I'd put my money on the GUI, you have to layer,size, and position a GUI using the properties menu.
a brick is just inserted then moved around all willy~nilly with the mouse. |

Yes, This would help. Support. |

I hate that you guys are against simplification and convenience. It's been made clear that it's easy to set properties of GUI, but what if it was made even MORE easier and stress free? |

Sorry, I guess you're right. How dare we have different ways of learning.
You can grasp the concept just by reading it. Some of us need to see the results, this just leads to countless frustration just to try to figure out how to do one thing.
The idea behind the GUI Creator was to:
1. Make creating a GUI easier, without all the measurements.
2. Be able to apply text and such.
Or at least, that is what my idea is.

@Swim
Yes, but some people are not like you! Some people have a difficulty understand a concept than others.
Sorry if we are not at your calliber, regardless if it is "easy" to do or not O-e. |

@tof
Tru dat.
But I totally agree with you when you said that people are too impatient to understand the wiki. They read it in like 3 seconds, then complain to us that it's too hard. If they'd just sit there and _try_ to _comprehend_ the wiki, then they'd get along just fine. |

It frustrates me how some people are against convenience... |
|
|
swimguy, are you trying to italicize text? XD |
|
|
@King
Italicize?
No
Emphasize?
Yes |

How much do you bet, if someone suggested a tool to make scripting easier and more convenient, it would also be bashed because "it's so easy to do." |
|

Celpel, stop stealing my words. :P |

^^^
at some point or another YOU WILL HAVE TO READ SOMETHING.
learning to make GUI's works like this
--read something
--do something
--repeat

3rd time I've said this: I'm ok with the idea, I just can't stop laughing. |

""it's so easy to do.""
Actually, it would get bashed down because lua is as easy as you can get it.

If you're laughing you're obviously not okay with it. |

You can laugh at a joke but still think the concept is messed up

Your words are so true that they must be repeated.
@tofwap pt1 of thread comment
That is correct, I am wrong on that point.
@tofwap pt2 of thread comment
Oh... thanks for the support. |

@tofwap
So you consider what I said a joke? |
|
|
There's a few problems I forsee with this idea:
1. What if I want to resize/position a GUI in Scale instead of Offset?
2. What if I can't get my GUI to be placed or resized to EXACTLY the right measurement?
3. How would I recolor it? |

>_>, many you guys are a tough crowd.
No I'm saying you can laugh at something regardless of how opposed you are to the idea that drives it.
guy runs into a wall, you can laugh, even though you might think running into a wall hurts.

1. That option will be available, like resizing a 2D brick.
2. Then the inability to leave the page should be enabled. So that when I place the GUI down, some of it won't be offscreen while the other part of it is within view.
3. That option could also be available under the properties bar. |

"1. That option will be available, like resizing a 2D brick. "
no he means scale vs offset,
scale is like 50% of the screen
while offset is 500 pixels on the screen |
