Introducing UIDragDetectors [Studio-only Beta]

Updates Announcements
#414

That’s interesting-- I will try to see what’s going on. Thank you for letting me know!

#415

Is this still an issue? I hooked up a UIDragDetector and destroyed its parent at DragEnd, and I seem to be able to drag other UIDragDetectors normally afterwards.

#416

Yeah, just tested it not sure why it crashes my studio ill test and see if it works as intended in-game.

Just checked and it crashes in-game too.

#417

Hmm-- it’s not reproducible on my end-- this is the script I am using:

local uiDragDetector = script.Parent
local frame = uiDragDetector.Parent

uiDragDetector.DragEnd:Connect(function()
	frame:Destroy()
end)
#418

Ill see if I can replicate it with a simpler script to give to you, one second.

I’ve found a serious bug, when clicking RT while pointing controller cursor to UIDragDetector instance then it stucks.

#421

Thanks for letting me know-- will fix!

#422

Thanks for the response. I found an additional bug that causes the slider to continue sliding with the controller. Happens when I’m unselecting the slider with select button of controller (In my case, it’s Xbox One Controller)

It would be great if you could add a feature that makes the UI instance draggable only if the instance e.g. an ImageButton, is being held for a specific duration. This would be useful for items in my custom inventory that I want to make both clickable, so I can activate the item, and draggable so I can move the item into different inventory slots

#424

I believe a way you could do this right now is use a scriptable or custom response style, and start a timer on dragStart. That way, you can apply the changes during DragContinue only after a certain amount of time has elapsed.

Would this be an acceptable solution?

#425

For now, this does the job. I appreciate the reply. :+1:

Click File > Beta Features, and scroll down to “UI Drag Detectors”. Enable the beta and restart studio-- you should be able to add UIDragDetector instances.

Recently had a problem might as reply to include here: Announcing DragDetectors! - #271 by lnguyenhoang42
Opening studio with GUI covering your screen disable the drag with/without UIEditor or tool disable/enable, took me a while to find the problem I thought my plugins was messing with it but it just GUI disabling drag from working in plugin widget. It worked first time while I was going to start using DragDetector but then relaunching studio broke it, just wish that it always enable within plugin widget.

So it happen again and the true problem is it happen whenever I launch studio with plugin widget enable, to fix this problem add a frame and delete the frame inside of ScreenGui or delete any guiobject in ScreenGui.

https://gyazo.com/902b56d202eb52a768583ee16d973577 Whenever you disable a UI while dragging then enable it again after, it still thinks the UI is being dragged. This is an issue, especially whenever you want to stop or disable a drag immediately as a player is dragging. Is there already a way to fix this, or could you add a way to disable the selection of the drag UI? This would be appreciated

Hi. I would like to report a bug, this has been around since the feature was released but until now I am encouraged to file a report :sweat_smile:
The problem is that basically when images are active with some UIDragDetector and this entity is hidden through a UIPageLayout, they are still seen in front of the interface.

Found a small bug

When you use the MinMaxRotation with or without reference (if there is reference put in in the middle of the rotating UI) and try to rotate it

The UI will go to the max of 60 or -60, that works, right?
But then when you try to rerotate it again, the DragDetector will take where you left off as the point zero instead of what it actually is

Pretty annoying issue, would be cool if the team could fix it :+1:

#434

ImageButton/TextButton’s trigger event is disable when there a UIDragDetector child, it is pretty simple to replicate. Is this intentional? If it is/not, I really need the trigger event to work as ImageButton/TextButton can block input.
