SurfaceGuiBase

SurfaceGuiBase : LayerCollector

Overview

Properties

Active

bool

Active is a boolean property controlling the visibility or enablement of the widget component, representing whether it is currently active.

Code Samples

Adornee

Instance

specifies the part or model to which the GUI is attached.

Code Samples

local SurfaceGui = script.Parent

print(SurfaceGui.Adornee)

AlwaysOnTop

bool

AlwaysOnTop determines whether the GUI element remains on top of other elements.

Code Samples

local SurfaceGui = script.Parent

print(SurfaceGui.AlwaysOnTop)

LightInfluence

number

Adjusts how much the GUI is affected by lighting in the game world.

Code Samples

local SurfaceGui = script.Parent

print(SurfaceGui.LightInfluence)

Brightness

number

Controls the brightness level of the GUI, ranging from 0 to 10. Higher values make the GUI appear to emit light, though this effect is purely visual and does not produce actual lighting or shadows.

Code Samples

MaxDistance

number

Controls the maximum distance from which the SurfaceGui can be seen, allowing developers to optimize performance by limiting rendering distance.

Code Samples

local SurfaceGui = script.Parent

print(SurfaceGui.MaxDistance)

Size

UDim2

Defines the size of the GUI element. For SurfaceGui, the size is determined by its Adornee and cannot be modified manually. In contrast, BillboardGui allows the Size property to be adjusted directly.

Code Samples

ClipsDescendants

bool

Determines whether GUI elements that extend beyond the bounds of their parent canvas are rendered. For example, if ClipsDescendants is set to false, a GuiObject under a SurfaceGui will continue to render even when it extends beyond the boundaries of the Adornee part.

Code Samples

ZIndexBehavior

EZIndexMode

ZIndexBehavior controls how UI elements are layered across SurfaceGui instances.When set to Sibling, the ZIndex is applied only within the same SurfaceGui. When set to Global, ZIndex values are compared across multiple SurfaceGui instances to determine the overall render order.This is useful when UI elements span across multiple SurfaceGuis and need precise front-to-back layering.
