Currently im trying to use a billboard gui to “have a cool glow” (More than studios current neon glow)
Im using a billboard gui for this with a imagelabel.

Issue is I use always on top on the billboard in order to prevent a wierd image cut off, as shown :

With always on top enabled it has the effect I want, but the issue is it appears through walls, as shown :

If anyone has any methods that could help please tell me, also Im not very great at scripting so anything with scripting I might need help…

Well, unfortunately that’s the point of always on top. If you’re not dealing with inconsistent sizes and only putting these on cubes, you could try messing with the z-index of the surface GUI. Worst comes to it, editing bloom more than what you have, or add slight blur.

The ExtentsOffset of the BillboardGui can pull it closer to the camera so the part doesn’t overlap it. I don’t quite remember if it’s 1 or -1 for forward/backward but if you set the Z Axis of the ExtentsOffset to the right one, the glow will show above the neon box. You can disable AlwaysOnTop at that point.

Although I see some issues with this I can most likely find some work arounds, thx
