# Safe UI Overlay

Use this tutorial with `community.examples.mod-panel-overlay`.

## Goal

Create a mod-owned UI panel without replacing core HUD, ranked, commerce, or
account surfaces.

## Steps

1. Review `CreateUIScreen` and `ModifyCosmeticComponent` in the generated API
   reference at `V2/docs/modding/generated/mod-api-reference.md`.
2. Open
   `V2/ue/Content/V2/Modding/Examples/ModPanelOverlay.mayamod/scripts/ui_overlay.lua`.
3. Confirm the screen id starts with `Menu.ModPanel`.
4. Confirm cosmetic component edits target mod-owned presentation state only.
5. Use `serve-v2-mayamod.py --self-test` before loading the example locally.

## Expected Result

The mod creates only an approved UI surface and never mutates gameplay state.
