Why is my highlight not working?

What I’ve tried:

• I’ve restarted studio
• I’ve published the game and played it through roblox instead of roblox studio
• Disabling the highlight and enabling it every render step
• Setting the parent to nil and then back to the model every render step

None have worked.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

• Make sure the model isn’t empty (the code kind of makes it look like it might be)
• There is a limit of 31 highlights, and additional highlights just aren’t shown. (Note disabled highlights also count towards the limit, so make sure to destroy unused highlights instead of disabling them.)

I’m confident I have just those four.

It looks like this is on Roblox’s end: when a Highlight is in a model and new parts are added, the highlight doesn’t update for the new parts.

Highlight Implementation Issues

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions: What do you want to achieve? I’m wanting to create a simple effect where parts are added / removed from a global highlight model with the corresponding highlight being applied / removed appropriatly. What is the issue? By default, it seems highlights do not apply to new parts being inserted into a model. The same also seems to apply to items being removed from a model with the highlight applied. This cause…

You could try removing the highlight and adding a new one each time a new part is added (might work); adding a highlight to each part you want to select (will work); or creating a new model, adding all the parts to the model, then adding the highlight (might work).

Some workarounds from the thread above are adding a humanoid to the model briefly (not sure if I’d recommend that because humanoids are weird and can cause visual problems).

Adding and removing the humanoid causes some terrible flickering, but it “works” (with a heavy epilepsy warning lol)

I will try other classes and see which works the best

Edit: it highlights parts that are removed from the model. this is ridiculously broken :/

Edit 2:
LIKE WHAT!??!?!??!

Setting the highlight adornee to the model you want all the parts to get highlighted, and then every time a part gets added, reset the highlight’s parent, and make sure it isn’t the same as the parts you’re trying to highlight. Hope this helps!
