.Activated on GUI buttons partially not firing on mobile?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

(Sorry for the repost, title was incorrect)
Hello!
(1) I am here today for I need help with an issue that is preventing me from fully adding mobile support to my game.
(2) The issue I am having is that mobile taps on certain buttons in my game fail to fire the .Activated event.
These same buttons work completely fine on PC. There are a few buttons in my game (simple open/close buttons for certain GUIS) that work completely fine in both mobile/PC. The buttons that are not working are registered, as the button does ā€œgray outā€ as a button would when tapped/clicked, yet the .Activated event for the said button is not fired on mobile but is fired on PC.
(3) I have looked far and wide for a solution to this issue. I have found nothing, which brings me here.

Here is the code on in a localscript parented to a button that does not work on mobile.

	script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("hello")
end)

When the said button is clicked (PC), print(ā€œhelloā€) runs, but print(ā€œhelloā€) does not run on mobile.

I am praying that there is some simple property or setting that I overlooked, and can hopefully be fixed.

Try replacing ā€˜Activatedā€™ with MouseButton1Click. Also is the active property on your button turned on? If itā€™s try turning it off and see if the event works.

I used ContextActionService, so I can bind and unbind action when tool is equipped. Hereā€™s script

local CAS = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local function toolActivated()
	print("Something")
end

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	CAS:BindAction("ToolActivated", toolActivated, false, Enum.UserInputType.Touch, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1)
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	CAS:UnbindAction("ToolActivated", toolActivated, false, Enum.UserInputType.Touch, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1)
end)

MouseButton1Click does not work. In fact, this bug was the reason I started using .Activated, as I thought MouseButton1Click was the issue. Disabling .Active did not fix the issue

#5

Ok, Iā€™m not sure but all i can think of is using ā€˜MouseButton1Upā€™ or ā€˜MouseButton1Downā€™. However, Iā€™m quite sure that MouseButton1Click works for most of mobile.

#6

Wait, so this is not for tools?

#7

No, this is for some TextButtons.
The interesting thing is that in some ImageButtons that are completely unrelated to the broken buttons work completely fineā€¦

#8

MouseButton1Down does work for mobile! Yet I would still like to know why .Activated doesnā€™t work on mobile under certain conditionsā€¦

#9

I have found a ā€˜TouchTapā€™ event that fires when you tap the button.

#10

This is probably something due to the activated function, or property

#11

Not even TouchTap firesā€¦ Is this something on my end or have I found a bugā€¦?

#12

May I ask if there is multiple buttons on top of your button?

#13

As in other buttons parented to the button im using?

#14

yes thats what iā€™m asking. Do you have multiple buttons parented to it. Or do you have any any gui or frame over the button, with active property set to true?

#15

If Iā€™m understanding your question correctly, then no.

Which is the button? 30 characters

#17

Are any other events working?

If not, can we see some code?

#18

Also what is the Zindex of the button, is it on top of everything else?

#19

Zindex was the issue, everything was on the same ā€œlevelā€ (1)
Everything appears to be in working order nowā€¦

Ok glad to help, zindex can be often forgotten easily.
