SurfaceGuis are the best thing to happen to Roblox since I don't know what... Let's say dynamic lighting. It is an AMAZING addition, and it's finally allowed me to make lamps that glow. But now I notice with long and skinny surfaceguis that if more than about half of it is off screen, it stops being rendered. You can see what I mean here: http://www.roblox.com/--place?id=198596612 Just go down the stairs, and walk down a hallway. Look up at the ceiling, at the light tube. Walk around and move the camera a bit, and you'll notice that when the tubes go offscreen, when they're about halfway offscreen, they stop glowing. The surfaceguis disappear. My suggestion is this: Tweak the rendering of surfaceguis so that if any part of an element of a surfacegui is onscreen, make it visible, no matter how small the part is that's onscreen. It'd deal with that slightly annoying flickering of the GUI elements that I describe above. Suggestions/support? Why or why not?

No support because this would help exploiters steal games

*facepalm* What are you on. How will changing the render extents of surfaceguis make games exploitable?

You're seriously only looking at the "play my wip pile of experimental crap" part of it, rather than the "hey, this is an example of what i mean, follow these instructions and you'll see" part of it? Serious? (even though that really is shameless self-advertising)
