SurfaceGui TextButtons not responding

[Auhrii]

So I’m trying to use SurfaceGuis for control terminals, and I’ve run into a small problem: none of the buttons are responding. I don’t know what I’ve done wrong: the SurfaceGui is in PlayerGui and the adornee is set, but the buttons don’t even change colour when the cursor goes over them, let alone trigger clicked events.

I’ve even checked over each button’s properties, and I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t respond. No, I didn’t mistake TextLabels for TextButtons again (that happens a lot…).

Can't use SurfaceGui buttons on mobile

Example place: You can find these buttons in the lobby inside one of the building rooms. PC: I can click on the buttons. [Screenshot_1] Mobile / Tablet: Tap all you want but it’s not going to work. [Screenshot_2] I’m bringing this up because I was in development of a SurfaceGui shop myself and after testing on mobile I found out it doesn’t respond to taps. If it helps, I did try to spam tap the SurfaceGui buttons and it did seem to respond, but only like every 50th tap and in my own …

I’m testing in studio, not on a mobile device. The buttons don’t respond in any situation.

Is there perhaps an invisible part covering the Surface Gui? That’s the only reason I can think of that’d make it not respond.

[Auhrii]

The screen part is only very slightly offset forward from the frame, come to think of it (I think by 0.01 studs or so). Do SurfaceGuis still have problems with that?

[Sinne_J (Sinne)]

Yeah, if there’s any part in front of the Surface Gui, it won’t respond at all. Doesn’t matter whether it’s invisible, CanCollide false, etc…

[Auhrii]

Deleted the offending part and it worked - though the part was behind the SurfaceGui (again, only by 0.01 studs).

Sadly even if it’s 0.01 it’ll still get in the way. (If it’s 0.001 it’ll just be glitchy - sometimes reacts, sometimes doesn’t)
