Using Folders in StarterGui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

There is obviously difference in opinion but it’s really up to you to gauge whether the pros are worth it or not.

Some factors to acknowledge:

  • Folders have less properties and thus should take less memory than entire ScreenGuis (usually negligible but it is a memory difference nonetheless)
  • ScreenGuis inside of folders will reset on spawn regardless of their ResetOnSpawn property as mentioned above
  • You can get expected behaviour if you put your UI elements (frames, ImageLabels etc) inside of folders which are inside of your ScreenGui
  • There is still the option of parenting LayerCollectors to other LayerCollectors for categorization in place of folders to get the behaviour of respecting ResetOnSpawn.
