Detecting MouseButton1Up on a focused Plugin Widget

[deafaultyboii1324]

Within my plugin widget I have a slider. I can only detect user interaction with the button when the mouse is inside it.

My main problem is when the user focuses on the button to move it, the user’s mouse may exit the bounds of the button, then they lift their finger off the left mouse button, but the slider button is still moving around because it couldn’t tell the user released focus.

I’ve tried using UserInputService.InputEnded and plugin:GetMouse(). They only seem to fire when the player is focused on the Viewport. I’ve seen post like this →

Help detecting MouseButton1Up within a widget

I need to detect MouseButton1Up within a widget, how would I do this? I have tried using UserInputService and plugin:GetMouse() but they only work withing the viewport but not in the widget, I also tried using detector buttons that filled the whole widget but they would not work consistently…

asking the same exact question but getting little to no answers so I’m not sure if it’s possible but I believe it is because Roblox’s built-in UIGradient editor stops moving the Keypoints when the user lifts their finger from the left mouse button when the mouse is not longer in the bounds of the triangle.

I know, I know. This is 2 years ago but I have a solution for this.

Which is… make a frame the size of your gui in the widget and set it’s Z-Index to “999999999”. Basically, it should be on-top of everything in your gui. Then you need to use

Frame.InputEnded

To just see if left mouse button has been released!

Example:

Base.MainOverlay.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		StopEditing()
	end
end)

(From my plugin)

Hope this helped after 2 years!!! >w<
