AbsoluteSize (Property): Difference between revisions

AbsoluteSize
Type	Vector2
Description	Size of the render window in pixels.
Member of	GuiBase

Takes 1.3 seconds to initiate on join, and a third of a second after respawning.
Only LocalScripts see the true absolute size. For normal scripts, the AbsoluteSize is Vector2.new(0, 0).
The AbsoluteSize property is often greater than it's AbsolutePosition counterpart by less then a decimal, even though their UDim2 position and sizes may be the same. For example, if you have a GUI with a position of UDim2.new(0, 10, 0, 10) and a size of UDim2.new(0, 10, 0, 10), the AbsolutePosition will be 7, while the AbsoluteSize will be about 7.8619175. A good way to compare them properly is to perform the math.floor() function on the AbsoluteSize.
