UI

The UI namespace contains a set of class functions allowing you to get information about a Player's display and push information to their HUD. Most functions require the script to be inside a ClientContext and execute for the local Player.

Class Functions

Class Function Name Return Type Description Tags
UI.ShowFlyUpText(string message, Vector3 worldPosition, [table parameters]) None Shows a quick text on screen that tracks its position relative to a world position. The last parameter is an optional table containing additional parameters: duration (number) - How long the text should remain on the screen. Default duration is 0.5 seconds; color (Color) - The color of the Text. Default is white; font (string) - Asset ID for the font to use; isBig (boolean) - When true, larger text is used. Client-Only
UI.ShowDamageDirection(Vector3 worldPosition) None Local player sees an arrow pointing towards some damage source. Lasts for 5 seconds. Client-Only
UI.ShowDamageDirection(CoreObject source) None Local player sees an arrow pointing towards some CoreObject. Multiple calls with the same CoreObject reuse the same UI indicator, but refreshes its duration. Client-Only
UI.ShowDamageDirection(Player source) None Local player sees an arrow pointing towards some other Player. Multiple calls with the same Player reuse the same UI indicator, but refreshes its duration. The arrow points to where the source was at the moment ShowDamageDirection is called and does not track the source Player's movements. Client-Only
UI.GetCursorPosition() Vector2 This function is deprecated. Please use Input.GetCursorPosition() instead. Returns a Vector2 with the x, y coordinates of the mouse cursor on the screen. May return nil if the cursor position cannot be determined. Client-Only, Deprecated
UI.GetScreenPosition(Vector3 worldPosition) Vector2 Calculates the location that worldPosition appears on the screen. Returns a Vector2 with the x, y coordinates, or nil if worldPosition is behind the camera. Client-Only
UI.GetScreenSize() Vector2 Returns a Vector2 with the size of the Player's screen in the x, y coordinates. May return nil if the screen size cannot be determined. Client-Only
UI.PrintToScreen(string message, [Color]) None Draws a message on the corner of the screen. Second optional Color parameter can change the color from the default white. Client-Only
UI.IsCursorVisible() boolean Returns whether the cursor is visible. Client-Only
UI.SetCursorVisible(boolean isVisible) None Sets whether the cursor is visible. Client-Only
UI.IsCursorLockedToViewport() boolean Returns whether to lock cursor in viewport. Client-Only
UI.SetCursorLockedToViewport(boolean isLocked) None Sets whether to lock cursor in viewport. Client-Only
UI.CanCursorInteractWithUI() boolean Returns whether the cursor can interact with UI elements like buttons. Client-Only
UI.SetCanCursorInteractWithUI(boolean) None Sets whether the cursor can interact with UI elements like buttons. Client-Only
UI.IsReticleVisible() boolean Check if reticle is visible. Client-Only
UI.SetReticleVisible(boolean show) None Shows or hides the reticle for the Player. Client-Only
UI.GetCursorHitResult() HitResult This function is deprecated. Please use UI.GetHitResult() instead. Return hit result from local client's view in direction of the Projected cursor position. Meant for client-side use only, for Ability cast, please use ability:GetTargetData():GetHitPosition(), which would contain cursor hit position at time of cast, when in top-down camera mode. Client-Only, Deprecated
UI.GetHitResult(Vector2 screenPosition) HitResult Return hit result from local client's view from the given screen position cast in the camera direction. Client-Only
UI.GetCursorPlaneIntersection(Vector3 pointOnPlane, [Vector3 planeNormal]) Vector3 This function is deprecated. Please use UI.GetPlaneIntersection() instead. Return intersection from local client's camera direction to given plane, specified by point on plane and optionally its normal. Meant for client-side use only. Example usage: local hitPos = UI.GetCursorPlaneIntersection(Vector3.New(0, 0, 0)). Client-Only, Deprecated
UI.GetPlaneIntersection(Vector2 screenPosition, Vector3 pointOnPlane, [Vector3 planeNormal]) Vector3 Return intersection from local client's view from the given screen position case in the camera direction to the given plane, specified by point on plane and optionally its normal. Example usage: local hitPos = UI.GetPlaneIntersection(UI.GetScreenSize()/2, Vector3.ZERO). Client-Only
UI.SetRewardsDialogVisible(boolean isVisible, [RewardsDialogTab currentTab]) None Sets whether the rewards dialog is visible, and optionally which tab is active. Client-Only
UI.IsRewardsDialogVisible() boolean Returns whether the rewards dialog is currently visible. Client-Only

UI.SetVoiceChatWidgetVisible(boolean isVisible) None Sets whether the voice chat widget is currently visible. Client-Only
UI.FindControlAtPosition(Vector2 screenPosition) UIControl Looks for a hittable UI control at the given screen position. Returns the top-most control if found. Returns nil if no hittable control was found at the specified position. Client-Only
UI.GetSafeArea() Rectangle Returns a rectangle in screen space indicating an area on screen that is not obscured by elements such as the notch on a mobile phone. Client-Only

Events

Event Name Return Type Description Tags
UI.coreModalChangedEvent Event<CoreModalType> Fired when the local player pauses the game or opens one of the built-in modal dialogs, such as the emote or mount picker. The modal parameter will be nil when the player has closed all built-in modals. Client-Only

Examples

Example using:

GetAbsolutePosition

SetAbsolutePosition

In this example, a handle can be dragged left and right that will update the progress of a UI Progress object. Using GetAbsolutePosition will make the calculations simpler to work out where to move the handle because it will provide the screen position of the UI object.

Another way that is a little more complicated is to work it out based on the anchor and pivot of the parent. This can be difficult to do. Using the Absolute Position methods for get and set makes it easier when it comes to dynamic UI (for example, dragging, and dropping UI objects).

-- Client script
-- UI Container
--  Panel
--   Slider Panel
--    Script
--    Handle
--    Progress Bar
local ROOT = script.parent

-- The handle that will be dragged left and right to change the slider amount.
local HANDLE = script:GetCustomProperty("Handle"):WaitForObject()

-- The UI progress bar that will be updated.
local PROGRESS_BAR = script:GetCustomProperty("ProgressBar"):WaitForObject()

-- With of the root container
local WIDTH = ROOT.width

local localPlayer = Game.GetLocalPlayer()
local movingHandle = false
local startingPercent = PROGRESS_BAR.progress
local sliderAmount = WIDTH * startingPercent
local currentAbsPos = nil

-- Set the starting position of the handle.
HANDLE.x = sliderAmount

-- Set the movingHandle boolen to false on release of a binding.
local function OnActionReleased(player, action)
    if action == "Shoot" then
        movingHandle = false
    end
end

-- Set the movingHandle boolen to true on pressing of a binding.
local function OnActionPressed(player, action)
    if action == "Shoot" then
        movingHandle = true
    end
end

function Tick()
    if movingHandle then

        -- GetAbsolutePosition may not return the correct vector values until
        -- the UI object has fully initalized. So in this case the script will
        -- set the currentAbsPos if it is nil, as it is needed in the calculation.
        if not currentAbsPos then
            currentAbsPos = HANDLE:GetAbsolutePosition()
        end

        local mousePos = Input.GetCursorPosition()
        local pos = HANDLE:GetAbsolutePosition()

        -- Workout the min and max coordinates the slider is allowed to move by.
        local min = currentAbsPos.x - WIDTH * startingPercent
        local max = currentAbsPos.x + WIDTH - (WIDTH * startingPercent)
        local x = mousePos.x

        -- Make sure the slider can not be moved outside the bounds for left and right.
        x = math.max(x, min)
        x = math.min(x, max)

        -- Set the new absolute position for the x, but leave y intact.
        HANDLE:SetAbsolutePosition(Vector2.New(x, pos.y))

        -- Updated the progress bar.
        PROGRESS_BAR.progress = HANDLE.x / WIDTH
    end
end

Input.actionPressedEvent:Connect(OnActionPressed)
Input.actionReleasedEvent:Connect(OnActionReleased)

Example using:

GetCoreModalType

Modals are temporary dialogs that popup, usually in the middle of the screen. They take over the input focus and give the player some options. Core has several built-in modals identified by the CoreModalType. In this example, we keep track of the current modal and print to the Event Log whenever there is a change to the active modal.

local lastModalType = nil

function Tick()
    local newType = UI.GetCoreModalType()
    if lastModalType ~= newType then
        lastModalType = newType
        if newType then
            print("New modal active: "..ModalTypeToString(newType))
        else
            print("Modal closed.")
        end
    end
end

function ModalTypeToString(modalType)
    if modalType == CoreModalType.PAUSE_MENU then return "Pause Menu" end
    if modalType == CoreModalType.CHARACTER_PICKER then return "Character Picker" end
    if modalType == CoreModalType.MOUNT_PICKER then return "Mount Picker" end
    if modalType == CoreModalType.EMOTE_PICKER then return "Emote Picker" end
    if modalType == CoreModalType.SOCIAL_MENU then return "Social Menu" end
    return "Unknown Modal" -- Future-proof fallback
end

Example using:

GetCursorPlaneIntersection

SetCursorVisible

Core packs several complex math operations that are really useful for gameplay scripts. In this example, we use the UI.GetCursorPlaneIntersection() to figure out which player is closest to the mouse cursor. The question of "who is closest to the cursor" is highly relative, as the cursor is in fact a 2D object, while the players are in 3D. To solve this, we can imagine the mouse cursor, instead of a 2D element, as being an infinite 3D line, starting at the camera and going directly forward. Therefore, we use UI.GetCursorPlaneIntersection() to create an imaginary 3D plane that is parallel to the camera. If the plane is placed on each player, an intersection of that plane and the cursor's 3D line occurs. This is similar to projecting the players onto the line and seeing who is closest to the line, based on their projected points. The example concludes by drawing a debug circle on the selected player.

local LOCAL_PLAYER = Game.GetLocalPlayer()

local viewForward = nil
local smallestDistSqr = nil
local targetPlayer = nil
local targetProjection = nil

UI.SetCursorVisible(true)

function Tick()
    Reset()
    for _,player in ipairs(Game.GetPlayers()) do
        if player ~= LOCAL_PLAYER then
            TestPlayer(player)
        end
    end
    DrawDebug()
end

function Reset()
    local viewRot = LOCAL_PLAYER:GetViewWorldRotation()
    viewForward = Quaternion.New(viewRot):GetForwardVector()

    targetPlayer = nil
end

function TestPlayer(player)
    local point = player:GetWorldPosition()

    local projection = UI.GetCursorPlaneIntersection(point, viewForward)
    if not projection then return end

    local distSqr = (point - projection).sizeSquared

    if targetPlayer == nil
    or distSqr < smallestDistSqr then
        smallestDistSqr = distSqr
        targetPlayer = player
        targetProjection = projection
    end
end

function DrawDebug()
    if targetPlayer then
        local playerPos = targetPlayer:GetWorldPosition()
        local params = {thickness = 3, color = Color.RED}
        CoreDebug.DrawSphere(playerPos, 50, params)
        CoreDebug.DrawLine(playerPos, targetProjection, params)
    end
end

Example using:

GetHitResult

SetCursorLockedToViewport

SetCursorVisible

In this example, a client script detects 3D objects being clicked on by using the function UI.GetHitResult(). Sometimes nothing is clicked on, such as pointing into the sky. Results are print into the Event Log.

UI.SetCursorLockedToViewport(true)
UI.SetCursorVisible(true)

function OnActionPressed(player, action)
    if action == "Shoot" then
        local cursorPos = Input.GetCursorPosition()
        local hit = UI.GetHitResult(cursorPos)
        if hit and hit.other then
            print("Clicked on: "..hit.other.name)
        else
            print("Nothing was clicked on.")
        end
        UI.SetCursorVisible(false)
        Task.Wait(0.2)
        UI.SetCursorVisible(true)
    end
end

Input.actionPressedEvent:Connect(OnActionPressed)

Example using:

GetSafeArea

Some devices (such as mobile phones) may have regions at the edges of their screen where interactive elements should not be placed. While this can be handled automatically by the UI Container object, some advanced projects may need to incorporate these limits into their logic. In this example we measure the screen's safe space (which excludes the restricted areas) and compare that to the screen size. With this knowledge, we can figure out what side of the screen has such "unsafe" zones. Perhaps it could be both sides, or neither side. This can be simulated in preview mode with options provided in the editor (next to play button).

-- Rectangular bounds of the screen's safe area
local rectangle = UI.GetSafeArea()
print(tostring(rectangle))

-- Total screen size
local screenSize = UI.GetScreenSize()
print(tostring(screenSize))

-- Compare the two to figure out if there are "unsafe" areas
local notchWidth = nil
if rectangle.left > 0 then
    notchWidth = rectangle.left
    print("Notch area of " .. notchWidth .. " on LEFT side.")
end
if rectangle.right < screenSize.x then
    notchWidth = screenSize.x - rectangle.right
    print("Notch area of " .. notchWidth .. " on RIGHT side.")
end
if not notchWidth then
    print("The whole screen is safe!")
end

Example using:

GetScreenPosition

The GetScreenPosition method is a powerful function that does a lot of behind the scenes math to convert any 3D point in the game world into a 2D screen coordinate. This script will use the GetScreenPosition method to cause a UI Text object to jump to different players and follow each player for 2 second intervals.

Your UI Text object needs to be set to dock in the top-left of the screen for the GetScreenPosition method to provide accurate 2D coordinates. Your UI Text object should also be a direct child of a UI Container for the GetScreenPosition method to provide accurate 2D coordinates.

-- Grab the text object
local propUIText = script:GetCustomProperty("UIText"):WaitForObject()

-- Represents how many seconds are left until the UI Text moves to the next player
local timeLeft = 0

-- Determines how long (in seconds) the text hovers above the name of a player
local intervalTime = 2

-- Represents which player the UI Text will is currently hovering over
local playerIndex = 1

-- Stores a list of players in the game
local playerList = Game.GetPlayers()

-- Stores the player object that the UI Text should hover above
local targetPlayer = nil

function Tick(deltaTime)
    -- Update the "playerList" to reflect any changes to the list of players in the game (players leaving the game or entering the game)
    playerList = Game.GetPlayers()

    -- Update the "timeLeft" variable
    timeLeft = timeLeft - deltaTime

    -- If "timeLeft" has reached 0 and there are still players in the game, reset the "timeLeft" variable and move the text to the next player
    if(timeLeft <= 0 and #playerList > 0) then
        -- Reset the "timeLeft" variable to "intervalTime" number of seconds
        timeLeft = intervalTime

        -- Move the "playerIndex" to the next player in the "playerLIst"
        playerIndex = playerIndex + 1

        -- If "playerIndex" is larger than the length of "playerList", reset "playerIndex" to the beginning of "playerList"
        if(playerIndex > #playerList) then
            playerIndex = 1
        end

        -- Update the "targetPlayer" variable with the player object located at "playerIndex" position on the "playerList"
        targetPlayer = playerList[playerIndex]
    end

    -- If "targetPlayer" refers to an actual player, update the position of the UI Text to
    -- be above that player's head
    if(Object.IsValid(targetPlayer)) then
        -- Get the position of the player's head by vertically offsetting the position of the player
        local playerHeadPos = targetPlayer:GetWorldPosition() + Vector3.New(0, 0, 120)

        -- Convert the position of the player's head to 2D coordinates
        local playerHeadScreenPos = UI.GetScreenPosition(playerHeadPos)

        -- Change the text of the UI Text to display the name of the "targetPlayer"
        propUIText.text = targetPlayer.name

        -- Move the UI Text to the "playerHeadScreenPos" position
        propUIText.x = playerHeadScreenPos.x
        propUIText.y = playerHeadScreenPos.y
    end
end

Example using:

GetScreenSize

Players will be using devices with wildly varied screen resolutions. Checking their resolution can be useful when polishing the game. For example, if they have a very wide screen, HUD elements in the corners will not deliver the same experience as someone with a more conventional 16:9 resolution. You can simulate different resolutions and screen ratios by changing the size of the main editor view, even while preview is running.

local screenSize = UI.GetScreenSize()
local width = CoreMath.Round(screenSize.x)
local height = CoreMath.Round(screenSize.y)
print("The player's screen size is: "..width.."x"..height)

See also: CoreMath.Round | Vector2.x


Example using:

IsCursorLockedToViewport

PrintToScreen

Often times it's worth doing simple tests, to better understand how Core operates. In this client script we are checking if the cursor begins locked or not. May be worth testing in different situations, such as single-player preview and multiplayer, to see if that gives different results.

Task.Wait(1)
if UI.IsCursorLockedToViewport() then
    UI.PrintToScreen("Core begins with the cursor locked")
else
    UI.PrintToScreen("In Core, the cursor does not begin locked")
end

See also: Task.Wait


Example using:

IsCursorVisible

SetCursorVisible

CanCursorInteractWithUI

SetCanCursorInteractWithUI

There is a common problem in games that want to enable/disable the cursor when a UI screen appears/disappears. Sometimes, you can have multiple screens appear simultaneously. Scripts on both screens are competing to show/hide the same cursor and you can end up with the cursor hidden while one of the screens is still visible. In such a case, the game can even go into a bad state where the player is stuck. This problem can be solved by having a central service that handles showing/hiding the cursor. It keeps count of multiple requests and only hides once the count goes back to zero. Other scripts will call _G.CursorUtils.ShowCursor() and _G.CursorUtils.HideCursor().

local API = {}
_G.CursorUtils = API

local usageCount = 0

function API.ShowCursor()
    if UI.CanCursorInteractWithUI()
    or UI.IsCursorVisible() then
        usageCount = usageCount + 1
    else
        usageCount = 1
    end
    UI.SetCanCursorInteractWithUI(true)
    UI.SetCursorVisible(true)
end

function API.HideCursor()
    usageCount = usageCount - 1
    if usageCount <= 0 then
        UI.SetCanCursorInteractWithUI(false)
        UI.SetCursorVisible(false)
    end
end

Example using:

IsReticleVisible

SetReticleVisible

In this example, a client script toggles the default reticle on/off each time the left mouse button (Shoot action) is clicked.

function OnActionPressed(player, action)
    if action == "Shoot" then
        if UI.IsReticleVisible() then
            UI.SetReticleVisible(false)
        else
            UI.SetReticleVisible(true)
        end
    end
end

Input.actionPressedEvent(OnActionPressed)

See also: Input.actionPressedEvent | Event.Connect


Example using:

PrintToScreen

The UI.PrintToScreen() function can be really useful for debugging. Messages printed to the screen in this way last for a few seconds, then disappear.

UI.PrintToScreen("Hello World!")
UI.PrintToScreen("And now, red", Color.RED)

Example using:

SetRewardsDialogVisible

IsRewardsDialogVisible

This example shows the basic usage of the reward points UI. It's possible to show the rewards dialog, in either the Quest or Game tabs, by calling UI.SetRewardsDialogVisible(). With the function UI.IsRewardsDialogVisible() we can detect when the player closes the dialog.

-- Binding actions for which keys to press to open up the rewards or quest dialog.
local REWARDS_ACTION_NAME = script:GetCustomProperty("RewardsActionName")
local QUESTS_ACTION_NAME = script:GetCustomProperty("QuestsActionName")

local PLAYER = Game.GetLocalPlayer()

local isDialogOpen = false

function Tick()
    if isDialogOpen and not UI.IsRewardsDialogVisible() then
        isDialogOpen = false
        print("Player closed the Reward Points dialog.")
    end
end

function OnActionPressed(player, action)
    if action == REWARDS_ACTION_NAME then
        UI.SetRewardsDialogVisible(true, RewardsDialogTab.REWARD_POINT_GAMES)
    elseif action == QUESTS_ACTION_NAME then
        UI.SetRewardsDialogVisible(true, RewardsDialogTab.QUESTS)
    end
end

Input.actionPressedEvent:Connect(OnActionPressed)

Example using:

SetSocialMenuEnabled

IsSocialMenuEnabled

In this example, there is a designated area where the social menu becomes available to use. The area is defined by a trigger. Additionally, a UI element in the HUD turns on/off when the player is inside the area, to indicate that social interactions are available. When a trigger is inside a client-context, make sure collision on the context is enabled, otherwise the trigger will do nothing.

local TRIGGER = script:GetCustomProperty("SocialZone"):WaitForObject()
local UI_PANEL = script:GetCustomProperty("HUDSocialIndicator"):WaitForObject()
local PLAYER = Game.GetLocalPlayer()

function Tick()
    if UI.IsSocialMenuEnabled() then
        UI_PANEL.visibility = Visibility.INHERIT
    else
        UI_PANEL.visibility = Visibility.FORCE_OFF
    end
    Task.Wait(1)
end

local function OnBeginOverlap(trigger, other)
    if other == PLAYER then
        UI.SetSocialMenuEnabled(true)
    end
end

local function OnEndOverlap(trigger, other)
    if other == PLAYER then
        UI.SetSocialMenuEnabled(false)
    end
end

TRIGGER.beginOverlapEvent:Connect(OnBeginOverlap)
TRIGGER.endOverlapEvent:Connect(OnEndOverlap)

Example using:

ShowDamageDirection

In this example, the damage direction indicator is shown to a player when they take damage, but only if the source of that damage is another player. The script is broken into 2 parts, where the first one goes into a server script and the second one into a client script.

-- Server script:
function OnDamaged(player, dmg)
    local amount = dmg.amount
    local position = nil
    if dmg.sourcePlayer then
        position = dmg.sourcePlayer:GetWorldPosition()
    end
    Events.BroadcastToPlayer(player, "TookDamage", amount, position)
end

function OnPlayerJoined(player)
    player.damagedEvent:Connect(OnDamaged)
end

Game.playerJoinedEvent:Connect(OnPlayerJoined)

-- Client script:
function OnDamaged(amount, position)
    if position then
        UI.ShowDamageDirection(position)
    end
end

Events.Connect("TookDamage", OnDamaged)

See also: Damage.sourcePlayer | Events.BroadcastToPlayer


Example using:

ShowFlyUpText

In this example, RP points can be granted to a player by calling the function GiveRewardPoints(player, amount). Additionally, a fly up text appears and stays on screen for a bit, displaying the amount of RP that was gained. The script is broken into 2 parts, where the first one goes into a server script and the second one into a client script.

-- Server script:
function GiveRewardPoints(player, amount)
    player:GrantRewardPoints(amount, "MyRP")

    Events.BroadcastToPlayer(player, "ShowRPGain", amount)
end

-- Client script:
local RP_COLOR = Color.New(0.18, 0.09, 0.36)

function OnShowRPGain(amount)
    local message = "+"..amount.." RP"
    local pos = Game.GetLocalPlayer():GetWorldPosition() + Vector3.UP * 100
    local params = {color = RP_COLOR, isBig = true}
    UI.ShowFlyUpText(message, pos, params)
end
Events.Connect("ShowRPGain", OnShowRPGain)

See also: Player.GrantRewardPoints | Events.BroadcastToPlayer | Game.GetLocalPlayer | Vector3.UP


Example using:

coreModalChangedEvent

This client script listens for changes in the local player's modal and prints to the Event Log information about which modal was opened, or if modals were closed.

-- Converts the enum CoreModalType into a string, to make the log more readable
function ToStringModaltype(modalType)
    -- The pause menu opened by pressing the Escape key, or other minor pause states
    if modalType == CoreModalType.PAUSE_MENU then return "PAUSE" end

    -- Popup when the player is choosing a character
    if modalType == CoreModalType.CHARACTER_PICKER then return "CHARACTER PICKER" end

    -- Popup when the player is choosing a mount
    if modalType == CoreModalType.MOUNT_PICKER then return "MOUNT PICKER" end

    -- Popup when the player is choosing an emote
    if modalType == CoreModalType.EMOTE_PICKER then return "EMOTE PICKER" end

    -- Popup when the player is inspecting another player for social actions
    if modalType == CoreModalType.SOCIAL_MENU then return "SOCIAL MENU" end

    -- Fallback, future-proof
    return "???" .. tostring(modalType)
end

function OnModalChanged(modalType)
    if modalType ~= nil then
        print("Modal changed to: " .. ToStringModaltype(modalType))
    else
        print("Closed modal.")
    end
end
UI.coreModalChangedEvent:Connect(OnModalChanged)
