Hi guys. I need some help with GUI

Really appreciate
I’m using GUI to make an inventory .And so far I have just made a crafting system . Now I really want to add some effects when I successfully craft an item .But it seems all the particles was drawn behind the GUI . What should I do now ? Please help . Thank you

You can solve this by several approaches:

  1. Use a world space canvas and render the particles in front of the world space canvas. (Dirty solution)

  2. Create different camera layers to render things (Best practice solution)

Create 3 camera’s with the following hierarchy:

Set all camera’s to “Clear flags = Depth only”

And set the depth of the camera’s in the inspector as follow:

Main Camera: Depth = 0

Gui Camera: Depth = 1

Gui Particle Camera: Depth = 2

Now you have to create a layer for the GuiParticles:

And assign your particle effect to this layer.

In you inventory canvas change the render mode to “Screen space - Camera” and drag your GuiCamera to the “Render Camera” field.

Change the layer of your inventory canvas (recursively) to “UI”

Now finally set the culling masks for each camera as follow:

Main Camera: Everything BUT “UI” and “Particles”

GuiCamera: Nothing BUT “UI”

GuiParticleCamera: Nothing BUT “Particles”

You now have 3 render layers with each their own camera. All stuff marked as layer “Particles” will now be rendered in front of the “UI” layer.

No cameras, work with all types of canvases. Simple usage.
