SelectionSphere

Supported Class World & Effects

Renders a 3D sphere around its Adornee.

Description

SelectionSphere renders a 3D sphere around its Adornee when it is a descendant of the Workspace or anywhere where GUI objects are rendered. The sphere's geometry consists of a ring/outline in addition to a surface. SelectionSphere does not capture any form of input; it is solely a visual effect.

For an outline/fill overlay effect which covers non‑primitive geometry such as that of a MeshPart, see Highlight.

Roblox documentation

SurfaceColor3 Supported Property Determines the color of the sphere's surface.
SurfaceColor3: Color3

SurfaceColor3 determines the color of the sphere's surface.

See also Color3, a property of the superclass GuiBase3d which controls the color of the outline rather than the surface faces.

Roblox documentation

SurfaceTransparency Supported Property Determines the transparency of the sphere's surface.
SurfaceTransparency: float

Determines the transparency of the sphere's surface.

SurfaceTransparency determines the transparency of the sphere's surface, similar to the way BasePart.Transparency works. By default, this property is 1 which causes the surfaces to be invisible.

See also Transparency, a property of the superclass GuiBase3d which controls the transparency of the outline rather than the surface.
