GetGuiObjectsAtPosition doesn't ignore disabled GUI

[RuizuKun_Dev (Kitsune)]

Reproduction Steps

Create on Roblox

Expected Behavior

I expect GetGuiObjectsAtPosition to only return GuiObjects that are Visible and under a GUI that is enabled

Actual Behavior

GetGuiObjectsAtPosition returns GuiObjects that are Visible and under a GUI that is disabled

Code

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local localPlayer: Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui: PlayerGui = localPlayer and localPlayer.PlayerGui
local mouse: PlayerMouse = localPlayer and localPlayer:GetMouse()

local GUI = script.Parent

local Frame = GUI.Frame

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	print(playerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(mouse.X, mouse.Y))
	print("Frame.Visible", Frame.Visible)
	print("GUI.Enabled", GUI.Enabled)
end)

Hey!

I tested your place but it seems to be working as expected.

11:40:31.679  {}  -  Client - LocalScript:11
11:40:31.679  Frame.Visible true  -  Client - LocalScript:12
11:40:31.680  GUI.Enabled false  -  Client - LocalScript:13

Can you list your repro steps please? A video of the issue would be helpful too.

Thanks!

Hey, not the OP but I was able to reproduce this.

1. Start play test session
2. Click to verify Visible and Enabled are true, and the table contains the frame
3. Run game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Enabled.Enabled = false
4. Click again
5. Results should show a table containing the frame, and Enabled false

From messing around a bit, it seems that it will update if the ScreenGui was previously disabled, but won’t update if it was previously enabled.

Hey!

I’m able to reproduce the results you’re seeing. However, changing the API isn’t an option right now. My suggestion would be to check the parent of the current object recursively until you get the GUI it’s under and check if it’s Enabled.

Thank you!
