I noticed that it misses the “ClipsDescendant” property. It is listed in the documentation and is scriptable, but it’s gone from the properties. It used to work/show maybe couple weeks ago?
This is the only one I noticed, but theres likely more missing?
The property is redundant. You can probably still set it via scripts, but it doesn’t serve a purpose for canvas groups since they always clip their descendants.
That’s interesting, and shouldn’t happen. Do you have a repo?
CanvasGroup does not support ClipsDescendants, though it does inherit it automatically from GuiObject. Setting it would have no effect.
If you think you’re experiencing a bug related to clipping and CanvasGroups we’d be happy to take a look, but we’d need a repro.
I see and yeah! Creating that repo place I saw that it happens when the ScreenGui zindex behaviour is set to Global instead of relative.
Here’s the repo file, I included 2 ScreenGuis, the one above zindex is set to global, the one below set to relative:
CanvasGroupBug.rbxl (63.9 KB)
I believe this is intentional behavior, see the important notes section of https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/CanvasGroup
- Descendants of CanvasGroup will be rendered as a flattened texture only when the ancestor LayerCollector has its LayerCollector.ZIndexBehavior set to Enum.ZIndexBehavior.Sibling.
So with Zindex global it is rendered as if it was a frame with clip descendants enabled.
As commented above, we don’t think this is an issue.
