UI generation problems
Revix generates UI hierarchies into a ScreenGui under StarterGui by default. UI generation produces the visual tree — buttons, frames, text — but doesn't wire up behavior. For interactive logic, ask the AI to add scripts in a follow-up.
Symptom: UI ended up in the wrong place
By default, generated UI is placed under StarterGui. If you want it somewhere else, you need to say so.
Fix steps
- Say where to put it: "generate the shop UI inside PlayerGui" or "put this in ReplicatedStorage as a template."
- Move it manually in the Explorer after generation if it's a one-off.
Symptom: UI has no behavior — buttons don't do anything
This is expected. The render_ui tool generates the UI hierarchy only.
Fix steps
- Ask the AI in a follow-up: "Now add a LocalScript inside the shop UI that handles the buy button click."
- Be specific about what each control should do.
- Test by playing the place in Studio.
Tip: Generating UI and behavior in two steps is intentional — it makes both passes easier to review and revise.
Symptom: layout drift — what you asked for vs what you got
The AI got close but the proportions, alignment, or styling are off.
Fix steps
Ask for targeted revisions instead of regenerating from scratch:
- "Make the title 32px and centered."
- "Move the close button to the top-right corner."
- "Use a vertical UIListLayout with 8px padding."
- "Change the background color to dark blue."
The AI has the current tree in context, so small revisions are quick and cheap.
Symptom: elements stack in wrong order
ZIndex controls render order — higher numbers render on top.
Fix steps
- Ask: "Set the modal's ZIndex to 10 and the backdrop to 5."
- For complex stacking, give the AI a list: "ZIndex order from back to front: backdrop, panel, content, close button."
Symptom: UI doesn't scale on different screen sizes
If the UI was generated with fixed pixel sizes only, it won't scale.
Fix steps
- Ask: "Use UIScale or scale-based sizes so this works on phones and tablets too."
- Or specify in the original prompt: "Make a responsive shop UI that adapts to mobile."
