When to Load

Load when building a HUD, menu, shop, dialog, notification, or UI attached to a 3D object.

Quick Reference

ScreenGui overlays; SurfaceGui on surfaces; BillboardGui for world labels.
Let UIListLayout, UIGridLayout, and constraints own repeated layout. Avoid per-frame pixel positioning.
Use Scale for responsive structure and Offset for deliberate padding or fixed-size details.
Design for touch and gamepad as well as mouse and keyboard. Bind gameplay actions with ContextActionService where it fits.
For gamepad UI, set a selected entry point and test directional focus. GuiService.SelectedObject is the native baseline.
Reuse the project's visual language; let the owner choose art direction. Verify the UI over the game world.
Keep UI state separate from the server state that it displays. A button is not an authority boundary.
Server Authority UI may show corrected predictions. Show confirmed inventory and currency; route gameplay input through the Input Action System.
Make scrolling, text growth, clipping, and safe-area behavior explicit before adding polish.
Build custom loading UI in ReplicatedFirst; never use a client-side character teleport as the readiness gate.
