How to ignore roblox inputs when creating plugin inputs

This clip is self-explanatory, I want to make it so I don’t create the rectangular selection box when dragging my plugin GUI (parented to CoreGui)

Here’s the “Dragger” class I used to Drag my Gui:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local Dragger = {}
Dragger.__index = function(t, k)
	if Dragger[k] then return Dragger[k] end
	k = string.lower(k)
	if k == "isdragging" then
		return t._isDragging
	elseif k == "object" then
		return t._object
	end
end

function Dragger.new(guiObject)
	local new = setmetatable({
		_isDragging = false,
		_object = guiObject,
		_offset = UDim2.new(),
		_con = nil,
	}, Dragger)
	
	guiObject.Destroying:Connect(function() new:Destroy() end)
	
	return new
end

function Dragger:DragBegin()
	if self._isDragging then return end
	self._isDragging = true
	self._offset = self._object.AbsolutePosition - UIS:GetMouseLocation()
	
	self._con = UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(input, event)
		if event then return end
		if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
			local absPos = UIS:GetMouseLocation() + self._offset
			self._object.Position = UDim2.fromOffset(absPos.X, absPos.Y)
		end
	end)
end

function Dragger:DragStop()
	if not self._isDragging then return end
	self._isDragging = false

	self._con:Disconnect() self._con = nil
end

function Dragger:Destroy()
	self = nil
end

return Dragger

Here’s the code where I used these dragging functions:

-- MainFrame is the frame I want to Drag
local mainFrameDrag = Dragger.new(MainFrame)

MainFrame.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then 
        mainFrameDrag:DragBegin() 
    end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, event)
	if event then return end
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		mainFrameDrag:DragStop()
	end
end)

I’m unsure what to name this problem because it’s a weird one so I haven’t been able to find any solutions after Google searches, any help would be appreciated!

I finally managed to find a solution to this through this post

You use plugin:Activate()
