InputBegan not working on buttons

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

It never prints MouseButton1 when I click the button :confused: I need to use InputBegan, as I need to pass the input. But it only prints MouseMovement (when mouse enters) but never clicking

for _, slot in HUD.Inventory.Content.Main.Hotbar:GetChildren() do
		if not slot:IsA("ImageButton") then continue end
		
		SlotController:Create(slot)
		print(1)
		--// Dragging
		slot.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
			print(input.UserInputType)
			if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 or input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then				
				print(1)
				DragController:Start(input, slot.Content)
			end
		end)
	end

What do you exactly need from the input? There could help a different approach.

So I can then use InputChanged, which will fire when that specific input has changed, as well as get the inputs position.

I don’t see any reason to change what I have. What I have should theoretically work, so unless this is a new Roblox bug

Is this UI supposed to be a scroll bar? If so i have working code for a scroll bar

#7

You can use UserInputService and connect / disconnect the function when the mouse enters / leaves the imageButton

#8

No, for dragging UI elements

more text for characters

#9

That’s not what I’m wanting. What I have has worked in the past. It’s just now that it’s decided to stop working

Does input.UserInputType print? And what does it print

#11

Boolean expression logic mistake.

if not (slot:IsA("ImageButton")) then continue end
#12

That’s definately the issue. I do this everywhere, the extra brackets are not necessary. It’s also printing the mousemovement inputbegan, so it’s definately firing

#13

It does, it only prints MouseMovement

You may want to opt to use the ‘Activated’ event/signal of ‘GuiButton’ instances instead, it passes an ‘InputObject’ object to any connected callback functions.

Kind of unrelated but your script is defining InputBegan multiple times which isn’t needed and increases lag.
