Here you go, this has the changes I mentioned above…

Thank you so much for this. Although I am getting this weird bug whenever I drag it to then end and then switch handles I think to do with the angular velocity. Could you think of any quick fix or reason as to why this could be happening?
It probably has to do with the fact that your cursor has moved off of the line of motion; and then when you switch directions the next time you move your cursor it tries to move the object to the projecti0n of the cursor onto the new line of motion.
Am I correct in saying that this does not happen if you move such that your cursor is always on top of the part?
The attached version may help. I’ve added the following at the beginning of your ChangeAxis() method. It switches from TranslateLine to TranslatePlane and calls RestartDrag(); this kind of re-roots your cursor onto the current perpendicular plane to the line of motion; and then when you change the direction and go back to translateLine, you’re projecting onto the line the emanates from your cursor, as opposed to the a line that goes through the part.
Following this, you may find the motion a little faster or slower than before, but you should lose the jump:

-- this little trick will reroot the cursor relative to the plane and then back to the line.
-- it gets rid of the little skipping/sliding that can happen if you only change the axis while staying in TranslateLine mode.
script.Parent.DragDetector.DragStyle = Enum.DragDetectorDragStyle.TranslatePlane
script.Parent.DragDetector:RestartDrag()
script.Parent.DragDetector.DragStyle = Enum.DragDetectorDragStyle.TranslateLine

For some reason it now descends when moving and rotates itself. (Realized it would do the same in the first fix)? The angular velocity doesn’t stop it at all
Sorry for all the bugs. I really appreciate you helping
Does anyone know why this strange drag detector behavior happens? It doesn’t allow me to drag the object in the opposite direction once it meets its max angle, instead, it clips into the wall.
Also when I set the ReferenceInstantce property to it’s parent, the drag detector’s angle appears to be 90 yet it only travelled half the distance as the previous video

Hi @Rynappel,
@DeFactoCepti is going to look into this problem soon, but can’t do it right away.
In the meantime, can you try setting it up so that the axis of rotation is the Y axis of the ReferenceInstance and not the X axis?
X-axis rotation has been trickier to get right with min/max for us, because of the way rotations are stored, which is as euler rotations that sequence Y/X/Z.
We found when when devloping this code that Y-axis and Z-axis rotations were easier to get right.
If you try this, please let us know how it goes?

Same behavior on the Y axis
What are the enums from ResponseStyle and PermissionPolice I need for my plugin auto properties
For this script
Okay. @DeFactoCepti will look into it. Can you upload a simple rbxl file for the place that exhibits the problem? Just the switch and the script effecting motion, if there is one?

I’m not sure what you are trying to do, but I would just leave them as their default values. Why change them?
The default ResponseStyle “Physical” will move non-anchored objects with physics, and simply edit CFrames of anchored ones.
the default PermissionPolicy is “Everyone” which will allow all users to drag it.
Ye but in my plugin you can select the other styles and it you insert dragdettectors it have this preset if you want that valeus
Are the ui dragdettectors already out I noticed it in reclass plugin but it doesn’t work how does it work @PrinceTybalt
Way you can change them in the properties window then???
It’s like in my plugin you can change that properties and when you insert them it insert it with that properties
I’m surprised drag detectors still have the same problem as click detectors: they simply don’t work on fast moving parts. I’ll drop a link below if a staff ever notices this message and decide to resolve this problem.
@PrinceTybalt there still is an issue with the dragdettectors on mobile if I want to drag my puzzle it doesn’t directly drag and it are time based puzzles so it almost impossible to complete it in 1 min but I think I want it 30 sec buy the camera go before the dragdetectors able if I drag on the left

When the Drag Detector is added during the game and the responseStyle being physical, it does not work. It seems to only work if it is present from the beginning of the game.
I assume this is a bug, if not how am I able to fix this
Was there ever an update on this? I am currently trying to use DragDetectors to move my own character, but it doesn’t seem to be working.
I have been having problem with DragDetector while developing a plugin with widget window, it worked first time but after I relaunch studio DragDetector just stopped working.

I couldn’t pin point the problem but dragdetector just doesn’t work in plugin widget. I tried turning off all plugins(beside one am developing) and it still doesn’t work.
I resolved this problem though it is weird, drag is disable whenever tool or UIEditor is in-use… but in my situation an UI covered your screen when you launch studio it disable the drag? If anyone experiencing drag not working while making plugin disable GUI Overlay.
