Context:
My use case is that i’m using the Highlight instance to render the view of objects. through other objects, a hitbox of sorts that is visible through walls.
My design implements two models:
- Model A
- This model has a
highlightinstance, so any object parented to Model A will be highlighted.
- This model has a
- Model B
- This model is just for instances that don’t belong in Model A
I then parent the objects I want to highlight to Model A when the game is running, if I dont want them to be highlighted - they’re parented to Model B instead.
That said, that brings us onto the bug, when moving objects from Model A to Model B, they keep the highlight, which… isn’t expected, they’re no longer under a model, which has the Highlight instance. So they should loose it, right?
After further testing, I realised, if I were to select the effected instances in studio to attempt to debug them… their highlight render is removed… my theory is that - studio’s selection highlight updates the model, so there’s a disconnect where upon moving an object, outside of Model A, that models highlight should be removed.
I will provide a video, and a place file, which demo’s this bug;

STR:
- enter the game
- press “update highlight” button at the bottom, center of your screen.
- use the explorer, see that the models have either been parented to, or from the “model” containing the highlight.
- use the studio highlight to update various object highlights yourself.
