How to detect click outside SurfaceGui

How could I detect when the user clicks outside a specific gui object after clicking on said object?

Yield for InputBegan on UserInputService and check whether it was a click or not. Alternatively, use ContextActionService to ‘monitor’ the clicking.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
 

local function onInputBegan(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		print("The left mouse button has been pressed!")
         elseif nput.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
		print("Right click"!)
	end
end
 
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onInputBegan)

OR, Make a huge TextButton on the Surface.

OR, Use a ScreenGui.

I made the textbutton, but what would be the easiest way to detect when another is clicked?

Simply with MouseButton1Click or you can use UserInputService + :GetGuiObjectsAtPosition():

local PlayerGui = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,Chat)
	if not Chat and Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		local Vect2 = Input.Position
		local Table = PlayerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(Vect2.X,Vect2.Y)
	end
end)

In that table all the objects that that vector touches will appear.

or with InputBegan on the object.

you should have the elseif on the same indentation level as the if to make it more readable.

also you forgot to type an i in nput.UserInputType, and the ! is outside the string on print("Right click"!)

Thanks, that worked, I just added an aditional if statement to check if they’re the same object.
