How did bloxburg make building? How is it possible?

Hello, I’m trying to make a building system and I am implementing a drag feature for mobile users to drag the location of objects they want to build however its also dragging their entire screen.

How do I lock it so the drag on the element doesnt drag their screen but if they use a second finger, the camera would follow that second finger?

Here is a video showing what I mean:

Try detecting of the player is moving a object and then lock their camera until there is no detection of movement of an object. I think you can use if statements and printing. Sorry if this is confusing, i’m new to lua

You can try to set the camera to a certain block to look at the build while being fixed. After that, you can try to make a block move with user input or mouse movement. I already have a scrip for if you want to make it fixed not that big you can implement it in your script.

local camerapart = --/ the part you want to look from
local Camera = workspace.Camera
local OldCam = Camera.CFrame --/ for if you want to reset it 

	repeat wait()
		Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	Camera.CFrame = camerapart.CFrame

You dont understand. In bloxburg you can still rotate the camera while building if you use one finger to move and one to drag

success with finding the solution.

When you tap on a GUI element on roblox on mobile and drag it doesnt move the camera.

I am thinking of replacing the billboardGui with a 2d GUI element with a while loop to constanty set the position of it to be in the position of thr 3d object with a raycast. This will replace my current billboardGui. so when they hold down on the 2d gui it doesnt drag the camera, but still lets them drag the camera using a different finger

Try turning the Active property of the frame to true. That should sink the input (nulling camera movement in the process)

I put the active property on both the GUI inside the billboard gui and the billboardGui itself but it still doesnt sink the input. I think I might have to replace the billboardgui with a while loop that positions a 2d GUI to be on the 2d version of the 3d position through constantly updating it with a raycast
