So I need to know if when the player clicks, if it’s ScreenGui.Button1, or something else. I can’t do mouse positions because that button always moves. I don’t even know where to start. Thanks!

You still can do mouse positions:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Button = ... -- set this
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
local x, y = Mouse.x, Mouse.y
local Size, Pos = Button.AbsoluteSize, Button.AbsolutePosition
if math.abs(Pos.X - X) <= Size.X and math.abs(Pos.Y - Y) <= Size.Y then
-- TODO add the code for what happens when they DO click the button
else
-- TODO Add the code for what happens when they don't click the button
end
end)
Let me be a little more precise with my intentions. I have a grid with buttons in a scrolling frame. Would this still work for all of them? Thanks!
A couple of changes of the code should make it work how you want
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Buttons = ... -- set this
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
local ButtonFound = false
local X, Y = Mouse.x, Mouse.y
for _, Button in ipairs(Buttons) do
local Size, Pos = Button.AbsoluteSize, Button.AbsolutePosition
if math.abs(Pos.X - X) <= Size.X and math.abs(Pos.Y - Y) <= Size.Y then
ButtonFound = true
-- TODO add the code for what happens when they DO click the button
end
end
if not ButtonFound then
-- TODO Add the code for what happens if they don't click a button
end
end)
One final issue 
I have a popup on top of my scrolling frame sometimes.
Do I add something like this?
if PopUp.Visible == true
break -- or whatever the correct command is, either continue or return
end
Seems odd to have a problem with this…
--script inside the button
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("Clicked")
end)
No matter where I click it will not fire unless it’s on the button.
I need to fire a function when I click on the button, and another function when I click elsewhere.
Assuming the popup covers the entire frame, then yeah.
could there be any other solutions? this one seems… a bit too hardcoded? I know with raycasts, it returns the instance, or the part that the raycast hit. Is there something similar with the UI? Thanks!
If they click while the popup is active, should it trigger the code for button not pressed?
I will look into this shortly, thanks!
elsewhere as in anyplace, even not on the gui?
Well my GUI takes up my entire screen, so elsewhere is any place but the button :D
sweet …
local hovering = false
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
hovering = true
end)
button.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
hovering = false
end)
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
if hovering then
print("Clicked Button")
else
print("Clicked somewhere else")
end
end
end)
I’m working on something similar:
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch or input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
local guiObjectSelected = playerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(input.Position.X, input.Position.Y)[1]
print(guiObjectSelected)
end
end)
So, while I’m working on this, do yourself a favor, and don’t waste your time, as I might have a solution coming up :P
If this fails, I’ll try your approach :D
Thanks though!
Something I used myself, that’s why I asked. gl
Here’s my final code. Thank you all for the help!
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch or input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
local guiObjectSelected = PlayerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(input.Position.X, input.Position.Y)[1]
if guiObjectSelected == AdditionalInfoSideBar.NameText then
hidePopUp()
return
elseif guiObjectSelected == AdditionalInfoSideBar.LoadButton then
hidePopUp()
return
elseif guiObjectSelected == Top.NewButton then
PopUp.Visible = true
return
elseif guiObjectSelected == PopUp.BlankButton then
isBasic = false
ConfirmButton.Visible = true
BlankButton.UIStroke.Enabled = true
BasicButton.UIStroke.Enabled = false
return
elseif guiObjectSelected == PopUp.BasicButton then
isBasic = true
ConfirmButton.Visible = true
BasicButton.UIStroke.Enabled = true
BlankButton.UIStroke.Enabled = false
return
elseif guiObjectSelected == PopUp.ConfirmButton then
if Debounce == false then
Debounce = true
if isBasic == true then
-- [redacted]
return
elseif isBasic == false then
print("the blank vehicle doesn't exist yet")
Debounce = false
return
end
end
return
elseif guiObjectSelected == PopUp.CloseButton then
hidePopUp()
return
elseif guiObjectSelected == Top or guiObjectSelected == ScrollingFrame or guiObjectSelected == AdditionalInfoSideBar or guiObjectSelected == MenuGUI.Frame or guiObjectSelected == MenuGUI.Background then
hidePopUp()
AdditionalInfoSideBar.NameText.Text = ""
AdditionalInfoSideBar.Created.Text = "Created: "
AdditionalInfoSideBar.LastModified.Text = "Last Modified: "
AdditionalInfoSideBar.TimeSpent.Text = "Time Spent: "
AdditionalInfoSideBar.LoadButton:SetAttribute("saveID","")
return
end
for _, cell in ipairs(scrollingFrameCellsArray) do
if guiObjectSelected == cell then
AdditionalInfoSideBar.NameText.Text = cell:GetAttribute("Name")
AdditionalInfoSideBar.Created.Text = "Created: " .. DateTime.fromUnixTimestamp(tonumber(cell:GetAttribute("Created"))):FormatLocalTime("MM-DD-YYYY\ HH:mm:ss","en-us")
AdditionalInfoSideBar.LastModified.Text = "Last Modified: " .. DateTime.fromUnixTimestamp(tonumber(cell:GetAttribute("Modified"))):FormatLocalTime("MM-DD-YYYY\ HH:mm:ss","en-us")
AdditionalInfoSideBar.TimeSpent.Text = "Time Spent: " .. secondsToDaysHoursMinutesSecondsString(cell:GetAttribute("Time_spent"))
AdditionalInfoSideBar.LoadButton:SetAttribute("saveID",cell:GetAttribute("Created"))
return
end
end
end
end)
