Hi @Lecricreator!

To change the position, you just need to use the node.

    local node = gui.clone(gui.get_node("box"))
-- set the position and color of the new node
    gui.set_position(node, vmath.vector3(400, 400, 0.5))
    gui.set_color(node, vmath.vector4(1, 1, 0, 1))

Ok, it’s easier than I thought to change the position of the clone, but to change the id, I can’t. Is it possible to change the id?

Sure it’s possible, see the example in the documentation.
Also note that the function returns void, which means your id = gui.set_id() will become nil, which you cannot concatenate with your string.

Edit: Also, please post actual code, instead of screenshots. It will help us read the text, and others to search for similar issues.

Ah, that’s why the print didn’t work.
Ok, that was really what stuck me.

Thanks for all your answers. :blush:

I try Markdown with this example:

local help = {}
for n = 0, 5 do
    help[n] = {}
    help[n].node = gui.clone(gui.get_node("cross"))
    gui.set_id(help[n].node, "newId"..n)
    gui.set_position(gui.get_node("newId"..n), vmath.vector3(400 + (n * 40), 400, 0.5))
    gui.set_color(help[n].node, vmath.vector4(1, 0, 0, 1))
end
