Highlights don't work with tools

I was going to use them for my interact script, highlighting the object you’d press E to interact with, but highlights don’t work with tools for some reason.
Steps to reproduce:
-Place any tool
-Place a highlight in it
I’ve tried setting the adornee, but that hasn’t worked either.
And I don’t want to put it in the part, because my other tools are made up of multiple parts.
Is there a way to fix this or will I have to make a model inside of every tool?

Doesn’t the highlight need to be inside the part? Idk though because I’ve never used them only watched videos on them so far.

they can be in folders, models, and even the actual workspace, and it’ll highlight everything, but not tools :confused:

Follow up:

If the highlight is inside the tool, and the parts are inside a model inside the tool, they don’t highlight:

But if the highlight is inside the model, it functions properly:

AND if the tool is in the same model as the highlight, then it’ll work:

So ig I’ll be using the last one as a temp solution? Still would like it fixed tho…

Its kinda how it works, Also dont use last solution as the Tool Gets Parented to The Plaayer so highlight will still be in model. Instead if you have singular part, place the highlight outside the tool but set the adornee to The Handle Part.

Is this possibly a Roblox bug here? It functions fine i8nside the model, but does nothing in the tool. Usethat as a solution for now.

I was just using the single-part tools as examples, but the real tools I want to use have multiple parts, so it’ll outline each of them individually(not to mention that it’ll use up limited highlights)

I think it is a Roblox bug, but I couldn’t find the tag to post it under.
I tried using the model solution a while ago, but moving tools into models to highlight them causes a lot of issues, like triggering AncesteryChanged events and messing with equipping tools. It’s not worth the hassle until it’s fixed.

Maybe highlights are just bugged for me tho…
Here’s a pic of my entire workspace being highlighted, yet there are no highlight instances in the explorer

Nvm this is unrelated, it was caused because of transparency on the highlighted part inside the model.
