Using more than 1 ScreenGui?

[EmeraldLimes]

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I remember reading a post about how you shouldn’t have too many ScreenGui objects in your PlayerGui, and should group all of your UIs into 1 ScreenGui object, as that will affect performance if you do not.

Is this true, and should I implement this into future projects?

Personally I do not see any problem with having too many ScreenGuis and I think it is better to use multiple ScreenGuis to hide all objects on a certain screengui
as example you can hide the main menu items with a single line and show the main game ScreenGui

I don’t know where that came from so I don’t know, but from my experience it shouldn’t be a problem, just probably keep it to like 3 max

ScreenGui performance: One vs. Many

I’m looking into optimizing the interface of my game. Currently, updating any element inside the single ScreenGui heavily lowers the framerate. This is especially noticeable when tweening the position of a GUI element. Would it be more efficient to use a ScreenGui for each section of the interface so that the rendering is only updated for a section when its content changes? If not, what can be done to optimize things other than reducing the usage of the TweenService? I’m aware this is somethi…

I believe I found your post lol

@JackscarIitt 's answer says that using multiple ScreenGui’s improves performance. It is also a nice opportunity to separate functionality. For example, an inventory system should have its own ScreenGui and should not be located in a Frame of ScreenGui that represents all your GUIs.

Yes it affects performance in a positive way, so you should implement this into projects in the future.
