What does the C: stand for? (so i can remember easier) Class? I’m thinking.
I was just trying to search for all scripts the other day and I thought it used to work but it wasn’t, but this will work, thanks.

C stands for class, and there’s docs on how to use the explorer search arguments

This was such a much needed improvement! Thanks so much!
While SurfaceGuis are being worked on, would it be possible to add a way to change the max distance you can click a GuiButton?
Our game uses billboards to advertise some of our Dev Products & if you’re too far away from them you can’t click the buttons.

Wow, 1000 studs sure is far for a surfacegui, this runway number is 15 studs across!
from 999 studs:
1000+ studs:

This would work a lot better if the surfacegui background didn’t vanish with the text/images.

This is great! I like performance updates. Will there be a similar property for ParticleEmitter in the future?

This is awesome. As a suggestion, I would like to see the ability to offer intent to Roblox rather than strict values.
In my game, I have a large area with lots of SurfaceGuis. I would like as many as reasonable to render, because hardcoding a max distance on them for the lowest denominator would make the game look bad to everyone, but I would like to signal to Roblox that a SurfaceGui is okay to stop rendering if it is too far.
Something like a minimum distance property, and the option to let Roblox choose at the in betweens of min and max distance whether or not my SurfaceGui should be rendered.
Basically, I want you to always see SurfaceGuis close to you, and for anything further, let Roblox decide based on specs/graphics quality.

this will definitely benefit tons of people wanting better performance

You could run a command like this in the command bar:
for i,v in ipairs(game:GetDescendants()) do if v:IsA("SurfaceGui") then v.MaxDistance = 1000 end end

Could you guys also make it so SurfaceGui Wrap around Meshes or curvy blocks or anything? So it becomes a decal, But more efficent, so people could make wraps around it and it could be useful!

If they couldn’t do that with decals then I doubt the can make it work with surfaceGUI

You could make a localscript that sets the max distance property on the client based on the users graphics quality.
Here is a script that does so.
UserSettings().GameSettings.Changed:Connect(function()
local children = game:GetDescendants()
for i = 1, #children do
if children[i].ClassName == "SurfaceGui" then
children[i].MaxDistance = 12.8+(UserSettings().GameSettings.SavedQualityLevel.Value*38.4)
end
end
end)

Small, but much needed update. Thanks so much!

Decals can wrap around meshes or curvy blocks but the problem is SurfaceGui does not have the same accesibility as a decal, now how will we make easy customization on cars,guns,building? And even reflections!

- I shouldn’t have to, Roblox knows best what it can perform given the specs
- This doesn’t work with Automatic.

I NEVER KNEW THAT WAS POSSIBLE, THANK YOU DUDE.
What is the “C:” for? I’m curious.
