AbsolutePosition is always 0,0 I used a localscript and it still didn't work. I could be doing it incorrectly, any ideas? If so, give instructions on how to access it.

AbsolutePosition is read-only.

Use SizeOffset/StudsOffset. Ғľ○ωε⌐'ζ бâŋε ▬ Xζε⌐¡ζ○╖

Can someone elaborate on that? If I wanted to position a GUI at the same position of where a BillboardGui appears on my screen, how would I do so? "It is read only" --You clearly have no idea what read only means. I never said I was assigning to it I asked why it was stuck at 0,0. Read only means it cannot be assigned to.

AbsolutePosition is the position of the part the billboard GUI is an adornee of. Use SizeOffset/StudsOffset to move the billboard GUI away from the part. Ғľ○ωε⌐'ζ бâŋε ▬ Xζε⌐¡ζ○╖

Total idiots posted above. They can't read a fricken thread. I NEVER SAID I WAS ASSIGNING TO ABSOLUTEPOSITION. I JUST WANT TO READ IT. But it's stuck at 0,0. Why is that? It should update, like AbsoluteSize?

Most likely broken. Send [email protected] a message about it. Or just ask sorcus if it is.

A ScreenGui's AbsolutePosition will always be 0,0 AbsolutePosition is the pixel position of the upper-left of a GUI component. For instance, if you had a GUI and positioned it at {0.5,10,0.5,10} and the screen dimension was 1000x500, then the AbsolutePosition would be 510,260. (0.5*1000)+10, (0.5*500)+10

I believe BillboardGui's AbsolutePosition is always 0,0 too. Try taking the AbsolutePosition of a component within it, like a Frame or ImageLabel, etc.
