(LAST UPDATE: How to get mouse from plugin - #5 by ptitloup132)

Hello,
I do not know why but when I click on these buttons it’s not working, the buttons are just in an image and the image is in a scrollingframe.

To give you a context, I am creating a plugin.

Script:

local image = script.Image.Value
local btn_del = script.DelBtn.Value
local btn_chanepos = script.ChangePosBtn.Value
local frame = image.Parent

local isDragging = false
local startPos
local imageOffset

local isDragging = false
local startPos
local frameSize = frame.AbsoluteSize
local imageOffset = Vector2.new(0, 0)

local function updateImagePosition(mousePosition)
	if isDragging then
		local newPosition = UDim2.new(0, mousePosition.X - startPos.X + imageOffset.X, 0, mousePosition.Y - startPos.Y + imageOffset.Y)
		local minX = 0
		local minY = 0
		local maxX = frameSize.X - image.Size.X.Offset
		local maxY = frameSize.Y - image.Size.Y.Offset
		newPosition = UDim2.new(
			0, math.clamp(newPosition.X.Offset, minX, maxX),
			0, math.clamp(newPosition.Y.Offset, minY, maxY)
		)
		image.Position = newPosition
	end
end

btn_del.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() 
	print(1)
	if image.Visible then script.Parent:Destroy() end
end)

btn_chanepos.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	print(2)
	if image.Visible then
		isDragging = true
		startPos = Vector2.new(plugin:GetMouse().X, plugin:GetMouse().Y)
		imageOffset = Vector2.new(image.Position.X.Offset, image.Position.Y.Offset)
	end
end)

btn_chanepos.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	print(3)
	if image.Visible then isDragging = false end
end)

plugin:GetMouse().Move:Connect(function()
	if isDragging then
		updateImagePosition(Vector2.new(plugin:GetMouse().X, plugin:GetMouse().Y))
	end
end)

Change position of UI Object (with the mouse)
#2

Well I did some fixs but just the FORMAT works but not the button cloned…

local image = script.Parent
local frame = image.Parent

local btn_del = image.TB_Delete
local btn_changepos = image.TB_ChangePos

local isDragging = false
local startPos
local frameSize = frame.AbsoluteSize
local imageOffset = Vector2.new(0, 0)

local function updateImagePosition(mousePosition)
	if isDragging then
		local newPosition = UDim2.new(0, mousePosition.X - startPos.X + imageOffset.X, 0, mousePosition.Y - startPos.Y + imageOffset.Y)
		local minX = 0
		local minY = 0
		local maxX = frameSize.X - image.Size.X.Scale
		local maxY = frameSize.Y - image.Size.Y.Scale
		newPosition = UDim2.new(
			0, math.clamp(newPosition.X.Scale, minX, maxX),
			0, math.clamp(newPosition.Y.Scale, minY, maxY)
		)
		image.Position = newPosition
	end
end

btn_del.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() 
	print(1)
	if image.Visible then image:Destroy() end
end)

btn_changepos.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	print(2)
	if image.Visible then
		isDragging = true
		startPos = Vector2.new(plugin:GetMouse().X, plugin:GetMouse().Y)
		imageOffset = Vector2.new(image.Position.X.Scale, image.Position.Y.Scale)
	end
end)

btn_changepos.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	print(3)
	if image.Visible then isDragging = false end
end)

How I create a node (the image with buttons):

local editor_code = script.Parent.Parent.BlocCode

local blockSpacingX = 10 -- Espacement horizontal entre chaque bloc 
local blockSpacingY = 10 -- Espacement vertical entre chaque bloc 
local maxColumns = 3 -- Nombre maximal de colonnes avant de sauter une ligne

local print_btn = script.Parent.Node_print
local print_node = editor_code.FORMAT_print

local function getNumberOfBlocks()
	local count = -1
	for _, child in ipairs(editor_code:GetChildren()) do
		if child:IsA("ImageLabel") and not child.Name:find("FORMAT_") then
			count = count + 1
		end
	end
	return count
end

local function calculateNextBlockPosition()
	local currentCount = getNumberOfBlocks()
	local column = currentCount % maxColumns
	local row = math.floor(currentCount / maxColumns)

	local xPos = column * (print_node.Size.X.Scale + blockSpacingX)
	local yPos = row * (print_node.Size.Y.Scale + blockSpacingY)

	return UDim2.new(0, xPos, 0, yPos)
end

print_btn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local number_of_bloc = #editor_code:GetChildren()

	local n = print_node:Clone()
	n.Parent = editor_code
	n.Name = tostring(number_of_bloc) .. "_print"
	n.Visible = true
	n:FindFirstChild("Node Buttons").Enabled = true
	n.Position = calculateNextBlockPosition()
	
	for _, item in ipairs(n:GetChildren()) do 
		print(item.Name)
	end
end)

And by the way I have only “1” or “2” in the output.

local image = script.Parent
local frame = image.Parent

local btn_del = image.TB_Delete
local btn_changepos = image.TB_ChangePos

local isDragging = false
local startPos
local frameSize = frame.AbsoluteSize
local imageOffset = Vector2.new(0, 0)

local function updateImagePosition(mousePosition)
	if isDragging then
		local newPosition = UDim2.new(0, mousePosition.X - startPos.X + imageOffset.X, 0, mousePosition.Y - startPos.Y + imageOffset.Y)
		local minX = 0
		local minY = 0
		local maxX = frameSize.X - image.Size.X.Scale
		local maxY = frameSize.Y - image.Size.Y.Scale
		newPosition = UDim2.new(
			0, math.clamp(newPosition.X.Scale, minX, maxX),
			0, math.clamp(newPosition.Y.Scale, minY, maxY)
		)
		image.Position = newPosition
	end
end

btn_del.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() 
	print(1)
	if image.Visible then image:Destroy() end
end)

btn_changepos.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	print(2)
	if image.Visible then
		isDragging = true
		startPos = Vector2.new(plugin:GetMouse().X, plugin:GetMouse().Y)
		imageOffset = Vector2.new(image.Position.X.Scale, image.Position.Y.Scale)
	end
end)

btn_changepos.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	print(3)
	if image.Visible then isDragging = false end
end)

plugin:GetMouse().Move:Connect(function()
	print("moving")
	if isDragging then
		updateImagePosition(Vector2.new(plugin:GetMouse().X, plugin:GetMouse().Y))
	end
end)

To summarize:

The FORMAT_print works to delete but not to move (only “1” and “2”) in the output, and when I create a new node from FORMAT8_print the script does not work.

Create Node Localscript:

local editor_code = script.Parent.Parent.BlocCode

local blockSpacingX = 10 -- Espacement horizontal entre chaque bloc (à ajuster selon vos besoins)
local blockSpacingY = 10 -- Espacement vertical entre chaque bloc (à ajuster selon vos besoins)
local maxColumns = 3 -- Nombre maximal de colonnes avant de sauter une ligne

local print_btn = script.Parent.Node_print
local print_node = editor_code.Parent.NodesF.FORMAT_print

local function getNumberOfBlocks()
	local count = -1
	for _, child in ipairs(editor_code:GetChildren()) do
		if child:IsA("ImageLabel") and not child.Name:find("FORMAT_") then
			count = count + 1
		end
	end
	return count
end

local function calculateNextBlockPosition()
	local currentCount = getNumberOfBlocks()
	local column = currentCount % maxColumns
	local row = math.floor(currentCount / maxColumns)

	local xPos = column * (print_node.Size.X.Scale + blockSpacingX)
	local yPos = row * (print_node.Size.Y.Scale + blockSpacingY)

	return UDim2.new(0, xPos, 0, yPos)
end

print_btn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local number_of_bloc = #editor_code:GetChildren()

	local n = print_node:Clone()
	n.Parent = editor_code
	n.Name = tostring(number_of_bloc) .. "_print"
	n.Visible = true
	n:FindFirstChild("Node Buttons").Enabled = true
	n.Position = calculateNextBlockPosition()
end)

Well I tried to a localscript for all nodes in my scrollingframe “BlocCode” but I do not know how to get the mouse from plugin.

while task.wait(0.5) do
	for i, node in ipairs(script.Parent.FLS.BlocCode:GetChildren()) do 
		if node:IsA("ImageLabel") then
			local frame = node.Parent

			local isDragging = false
			local startPos
			local frameSize = frame.AbsoluteSize
			local imageOffset = Vector2.new(0, 0)

			local function updateImagePosition(mousePosition)
				if isDragging then
					local newPosition = UDim2.new(0, mousePosition.X - startPos.X + imageOffset.X, 0, mousePosition.Y - startPos.Y + imageOffset.Y)
					local minX = 0
					local minY = 0
					local maxX = frameSize.X - node.Size.X.Scale
					local maxY = frameSize.Y - node.Size.Y.Scale
					newPosition = UDim2.new(
						0, math.clamp(newPosition.X.Scale, minX, maxX),
						0, math.clamp(newPosition.Y.Scale, minY, maxY)
					)
					node.Position = newPosition
				end
			end

			node.TB_Move.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
				print(1)
				if node.Visible then
					isDragging = true
					startPos = Vector2.new(plugin:GetMouse().X, plugin:GetMouse().Y)
					imageOffset = Vector2.new(node.Position.X.Scale, node.Position.Y.Scale)
				end
			end)

			node.TB_Move.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
				print(2)
				if node.Visible then isDragging = false end
			end)

			plugin:GetMouse().Move:Connect(function()
				print("moving")
				if isDragging then
					updateImagePosition(Vector2.new(plugin:GetMouse().X, plugin:GetMouse().Y))
				end
			end) 
		end
	end
end
