How do I make gui buttons activate when mouse is dragged over

[Hyxperionn (Hyx)]

I need the buttons to fire when the player’s mouse goes over them. I tried using:

button.InputBegan:Connect(function()
    if mouse.MouseButton1Down then
        --Code here
    end
end)

but It doesn’t update whether the mousebutton one is down or not when its over a gui button. I think its a similar thing to using gameprocessed in User Input Service, but I just cannot think of anyway to fix it, or any other workarounds. Please help

Something like MouseEnter?

Like @Scottifly said, you can use MouseEnter and MouseLeave. These are generally used to make hover effects, too.

local function onMouseEnter()
    print("Mouse entered.")
end

local function onMouseLeave()
    print("Mouse left.")
end

button.MouseEnter:Connect(onMouseEnter)
button.MouseLeave:Connect(onMouseLeave)

Wouldn’t that fire when the player’s mouse just enters, regardless of whether or not their mousebutton1 was down

Yes, but you did say:

@Hyxperionn

I need the buttons to fire when the player’s mouse goes over them.

Which is what I interpreted it as, my bad.

If you want to only do things on MouseEnter if the MouseButton1 is down, you can pair it with the UserInputService’s IsMouseButtonPressed function.

Sorry for the poor wording, thank you so much
