2026 is a groundbreaking year for ui capabilities omg, im so excited!!!

Okay, wow. Actually wow. But what about some UI elements that actually use rotated UIs to sometimes bypass clip descendants without creating more frames? And what about UI Corners? Will it support them?

DevForum

i think you can separate them by putting them in different frames?

Without creating more frames? Then it may be impossible. I’m sure some old games do use this nifty trick.

the UI team for the past year has been literally cooking with these new changes and updates! I can’t wait to see more

Yes, yes but I would still like clarification.

This does not support UICorners. For this you still need to use a CanvasGroup, although we have some improvements we are working on there. But what about some UI elements that actually use rotated UIs to sometimes bypass clip descendants without creating more frames? You’d need to re-arrange you UI

jaydubs808: although we have some improvements we are working on there. It’d be amazing to see them, canvas groups can be pretty messy sometimes so it’ll be great yeah. jaydubs808: You’d need to re-arrange you UI so that the unclipped element is not parented to something with clips descendants, or k

I think this is a great update, stupid bugs get patched. Unfortunately, however, Roblox will surely release a bad update later this week, or next week.

missmandypanda: Note: Rotated parent shapes themselves still cannot apply a clip to their children unless they are part of a CanvasGroup instance. I was really hoping I would see this fixed by the time this came out, I was testing this about a month ago and saw that this didn’t work I would like to

Yeah I’m very aware the CanvasGroups are lacking currently and we’re working hard to improve them. Stay tuned! Opting out partially from clipping is challenging. It may or not be possible for a given element to do so, depending on how the parent clip is implemented. Right now clipping is fairly triv

I see, yeah makes complete sense. Thank you tho!!

Hey @ColRealPro , Yeah I’m not particularly happy with this limitation either. Currently we have two different clipping system, one that is based on layout (ClipsDescendants) and one that is based on rendering (CanvasGroups). What we’re trying to do is improve the performance and functionality of bo

is there any plans to fix this in the future? I would love to use this to create masks for 4 sided shapes but right now that isn’t possible without this

Not as a part of this feature, but it is something we are working on.
