When to Load

Load for HUDs, menus, shops, dialogs, notifications, or world-space UI.

Quick Reference

• ScreenGui overlays; SurfaceGui on surfaces; BillboardGui for world labels.
• Let layouts and constraints own repeated layout; avoid per-frame pixel positioning.
• Scale for responsive structure; Offset for padding/fixed-size details.
• Design for touch/gamepad too. Use ContextActionService for gameplay bindings where appropriate.
• Test directional focus; set GuiService.SelectedObject for gamepad entry.
• Follow existing visual language and owner art direction; test UI over the game world.
• UI displays server state; a button is not an authority boundary.
• Reactive UI: own per-screen cleanup separately from session state; repeat open/close to test leaks (full.md).
• Server Authority: display confirmed inventory/currency; route gameplay input through Input Actions.
• Resolve scrolling, text growth, clipping, and safe areas before polish.
• Loading UI belongs in ReplicatedFirst; client character teleports are not readiness gates.
