How to detect if mouse hovers over part without click detector

Nah I don’t want it to I’m just kinda confused how you would do the change thing

#22

Since nothing is changing? I’m confused what u would call for

#23

the GetPropertyChangedSignal would only fire every time it sees mouse.Target change (i.e when a player hovers over a new part), this would prevent flashing but would also need a way to turn it back off again (which im not too sure how to do but maybe could only allow 1 on at a time)

Im getting the gist of it but how would u do this in a script?

#25

it would be similar to the script from before

lp = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = lp:GetMouse()
mouse:GetPropertyChangedSignal(‘Target’):Connect(function()
if mouse.Target:IsA('BasePart') and mouse.Target:FindFirstChildOfClass('BillboardGui') ~= nil then
mouse.Target:FindFirstChildOfClass('BillboardGui').Enabled = true
end
end)

Though I am unsure about the best way to handle disabling the billboardguis due to the lack of a mouse.left type event

That is the part that’s hardest for me idk how to turn the GUI off when the mouse leaves

#27

So firstly make a simple BillboardGui and inside of it put a TextLabel, put all in StarterGui. Also change BillboardGui’s Enabled to false.

Then copy this script and put in StarterPlayerScripts(located in starter player)

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()  

UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
	if mouse.Target then
		if mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("Show") then
			player.PlayerGui.BillboardGui.Enabled = true
			player.PlayerGui.BillboardGui.Adornee = mouse.Target
			player.PlayerGui.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = mouse.Target.Name
		else
			player.PlayerGui.BillboardGui.Enabled = false
			player.PlayerGui.BillboardGui.Adornee = nil
			player.PlayerGui.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = ""
		end
	end
end)

Also make a BoolValue inside every part you want the GUI to show!
