How to get a Rect in screen space from a RectTransform?

I have an object with a RectTransform component

I want to get a rect in screen space of that object

so that would be in pixel values

can consider that the object is not out of camera view if needed

welp

i found out how to do it if you want

not like the mods helped by moving this out of the scripting forum

Yeah I’d love to know! That’s for responding btw

  // Get the corners of the RectTransform in world space
        Vector3[] corners = new Vector3[4];
        rectran.GetWorldCorners(corners);

        // Convert world space to screen space in pixel values and round to integers
        for (int i = 0; i < corners.Length; i++)
        {
            corners[i] = cam.WorldToScreenPoint(corners[i]);
            corners[i] = new Vector3(Mathf.RoundToInt(corners[i].x), Mathf.RoundToInt(corners[i].y), corners[i].z);
        }

        // Calculate the screen space rectangle
        float minX = Mathf.Min(corners[0].x, corners[1].x, corners[2].x, corners[3].x);
        float minY = Mathf.Min(corners[0].y, corners[1].y, corners[2].y, corners[3].y);
        float width = Mathf.Max(corners[0].x, corners[1].x, corners[2].x, corners[3].x) - minX;
        float height = Mathf.Max(corners[0].y, corners[1].y, corners[2].y, corners[3].y) - minY;

        // Display the screen space rectangle
        Rect screenRect = new Rect(minX, minY, width, height);
