Hello developers,
I need assistance.
I applied a highlight to this specific part, but it does not appear. There is only one highlight applied throughout the entire game, with no other highlights present, so it should not be possible to reach the limit.
However, it still does not display.

That’s odd.
I’m assuming you are 100% sure that that is the right part to look it, so:
Can you please try running the game (“Play”), and see if the highlight appears?
If you add other highlights to the game, do they appear?

yes im 101% sure the Adornee is the same part
in Play/Run it’s not showing as well.
no other highlights work either if added
idk why but the highlights option is darkened as if i’m not allowed to add a highlight in a part

Are highlights working in other places? (Including an empty baseplate)
It just does that sometimes

No, it’s not working in other places either.
Hmm i really wonder why… It used to work the last time i used them

Interesting issue, have you tried running the game, maybe studio is just bugged?
Also, if you are inserting the highlight into a part then there is no reason to use Adornee.
It’s only darkened because it’s the top item in the search (if that is what you were aiming to show in the screenshot).
The same is for all other insertable instances when searched for, the reason the text is grey for items like “Highlight” and “ReverbSoundEffect” is because they are effect based classes and don’t render directly in the explorer or viewport like parts or GUIs and their presence is functional OR they are not stand-alone instances and they are meant to be children of other objects (I believe).

Odd.
Can you please try reinstalling studio, in case something corrupted?

When you test Play, does the Highlight instance still exist within the part?

Just to confirm - do you mean joining the game through e.g. the website (so it is not through Roblox Studio)?

Yup I mean both (through studio playtest and through roblox app)
Can you please make a place where the issue occurs, then save to file and upload the file to here? That way we can check if it works for us / we can mess around until we get it to work

Here is the place:
HighlightIssueTest.rbxl (56.0 KB)
and this is my playtest in studio view:
The part there is the part which is supposed to be highlighted.
The highlight object is the only one in the entire place
all the properties are correct
thank you for your assistance
;/
(this is the view when i first open the place)

So then it’s my Studio’s issue
I might have enabled any beta features which messes with this.
Anyway thanks for your help👍.
I will look into this.
If anyone can tell me why it’s not rendering specifically for ME.
But it’s okay i still can continue developing knowing highlights still show for my players

Yeah, although it’s weird it isn’t showing for you in the Roblox client either
