You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I have a custom joystick with aUIDragDetector. When the joystick disappears (not destroyed), I want to make the player let go of the drag detector -
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
When the Gui object’sVisibleproperty is disabled, the player will still be dragging theUIDragDetector, and it will send any changes in input, which will cause an issue in my game -
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I have tried looking for solutions, but I didn’t find anything relevant
I need to be able to hide the joystick due to changes in the state of the game, as the joystick is only meant to appear in certain circumstances
I could just make the UIDragDetector.DragContinue event stop sending changes in input, but it doesn’t feel like an ideal solution
Here is the aforementioned solution:
dragDetector.DragContinue:Connect(function()
if joystickHandle.Parent.Visible then -- this if statement is what I mean
local joystickX = (joystickHandle.Position.X.Scale - 0.5) * 2
local joystickY = (joystickHandle.Position.Y.Scale - 0.5) * 2
local joystickPosition = Vector2.new(joystickX, -joystickY).Unit
bindableJoystickEvent:Fire(joystickPosition) -- sends info to other LocalScripts
end
end)
The player would still be able to drag the UIDragDetector, but at least it wont send anything. Is there a better solution?
