How do i make highlights go through GUI?

[Vortexuel560 (Bungar)]

Im making a death screen and i want a highlight of the players character to be seen over the deathscreen animation.
How do i do that though?

[awry_y (ary)]

Pretty sure you can’t do that as highlights are suppose to be below the gui. Though, you could make a part the size of your screen and put the gui on it? Make sure AlwaysOnTop is off though.

maybe idk, maybe i could use a viewport frame and wierd manipulation?

Yes, you may be able to create a viewport frame with a transparent background and the CFrame set to the cameras CFrame. Then, clone the body into the viewport frame. With some changes to the lighting and color/material of the body parts, you can have a cool body overlay.

Took some time off my day, here’s the quickest way to do what ur trying to do (highlights don’t work on viewportframe by the way, I think…)

• note: don’t place in startercharacter, screengui please

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = LocalPlayer.Character

local CurrentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local ViewportSizeX = CurrentCamera.ViewportSize.X
local ViewportSizeY = CurrentCamera.ViewportSize.Y

local PlayerGui = LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local ScreenGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")

function clone_character(char)
	char.Archivable = true
	local clone = char:Clone()

	local toilet = {
		Part = true,
		Accessory = true, 
		MeshPart = true,
	}

	-- flush the poop & keep the player
	char.Archivable = not char.Archivable
	for _,poop in clone:GetChildren(), next do
		if not toilet[poop.ClassName] then
			poop:Destroy()
		end
	end

	return clone
end

local function character_to_viewport_frame()
	--create vpf
	local viewport_frame = Instance.new("ViewportFrame")
	viewport_frame.Position = UDim2.fromScale(0.5, 0.5)
	viewport_frame.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5)
	viewport_frame.Size = UDim2.fromOffset(ViewportSizeX, ViewportSizeY)
	viewport_frame.BackgroundTransparency = 1
	viewport_frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
	viewport_frame.Ambient = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
	viewport_frame.LightColor = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
	viewport_frame.Visible = true
	viewport_frame.Parent = ScreenGui

	local character = clone_character(Character)
	character.Parent = viewport_frame

	local viewport_frame_camera = Instance.new("Camera")
	viewport_frame_camera.CFrame = CurrentCamera.CFrame
	viewport_frame.CurrentCamera = viewport_frame_camera
end

Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
	task.wait(1.3)
	character_to_viewport_frame()
end)

what the hell is with the stuff under clone_character

also I forgot to mention, make sure to add a ScreenGUI & select IgnoreGuiInset in the properties
