Lane arrows UI overlaps with timed traffic lights

[larssieboy18]

Hi,

In Traffic Manager 11.3 LABS, whenever I use the lane arrows UI, it overlaps with the symbol for timed traffic lights if it consists of 3 lanes (see attached). I might have changed the scale (not sure to be honest), but it is pretty annoying. If you need any more info, please let me know!

Screenshots?

Anyone can suggest whether this is something i can fix with giving Z coord to the UI windows? @krzychu124 maybe you know. What's the Z used in overlay rendering and shaders?

[kvakvs]

The overlays are rendered on top of everything even on top of the Game's own UI. Not sure if that's something I have introduced, but we surely can look into it.

The overlays are rendered without Z coordinate, i might need some ideas here.

Dunno if it's any help, but I've just been wading throgh parking restrictions UI code and noticed the way it draws stuff:

GUI.DrawTexture(boundingBox, RoadUI.ParkingRestrictionTextures[allowed]);

So that's just splatting textures on to whatever is already on the screen (which is fast I guess).

So it seems the issue is when LegacySubTool.ShowGUIOverlay() is being called. If it's near the end of the rendering pipeline, then it's going to splat those icons on top of everything.

@krzychu124 are we going to fix this by 11.6 or should I drop the milestone?

[kvakvs]

My guess: This is caused by change in render order by the Sunset Harbour DLC.
For new speed limits overlay this is fixed by checking GUI rects for main menu, debug panel and speed limits panel.
For other overlays this is not fixed but can be fixed in the future.

it is indeed annoying!

As an interim fix (and something to keep as it would be useful for screenshots) could the lane arrows window be made draggable (accepting that it will still re-center on node when camera moves)?

The issues is we are rendering overlays on the GUI camera. OnGUI is called after rendering everything, including UI components...
