Problem with UI Clipping

[GoldStorm950]

Doesn’t necessarily have to be scripting support but I think this would be the most helpful category for this post since scripters do tend to put the UI together and code it.

So basically I’m coding this UI and there’s a scrolling frame with all these batteries inside of it. Those grey squares are not rectangles, the are actual squares and they are being clipped from the frame as they should be. The problem is, the batteries are not being clipped. The battery images are a child of the box images. The scrolling frame has clip descendants on and so does the box image, yet the batteries do this.

Simply set the rectangles clip descendants property to true as well, it should fix your issue.

Use ZIndex to change what peaces of a gui go over which.

[GoldStorm950]

It is already set to true.____

[GoldStorm950]

ZIndex wouldn’t matter. It would just go behind the rectangle, and the UI above the scrolling frame is smaller than the battery image so it would just come out. If you see the far right battery, it is not within the black.

Oh sorry I misunderstood your post. I don’t really understand your issue.

[GoldStorm950]

The battery doesn’t clip out of the scrolling frame like the square does. [The scrolling frame is invisible, it ends where the boxes ends]

It won’t clip if the gui has a rotation of anything other than 0.

May we take a look at the guis heirarchy and properties?

This is the correct answer.

Make GUI Rotation effected by ClipsDescendants

Stravant is correct - the reason this feature is not implemented atm is the requirement to change the UI code to work with arbitrary convex polygons everywhere instead of axis-aligned rectangles. We can’t use scissor rectangles since they don’t provide full clipping support anyway as mentioned above; the only complete solution that does not need convex polygon clipping is stenciling, but it would require us to de-optimize current rendering code that aggressively merges geometry for visible UI e…

Your best bet is going to be making the actual battery image file (the one you upload to the site) rotated.

Not a logical explanation for why this post was miscategorised. Scripting Support is for scripting issues, programmers who also assemble UI is irrelevant. Please use the right category before posting. I have recategorised this to Art Design Support as that category deals with UI and this is a UI issue.
