Yeah, same for me! I am really excited to see your future projects with using this new feature. x

Hi, unfortunately I would rather keep this small template private. However I would be more than happy to help and guide you in the right direction to make something similar via private messages (on the forums).
I always make sure to implement this in my own code, so itās always cool to see someone else considering it!!

This may have already been responded to but how do I set it up such that I can provide an input frame and have it apply to a parent container
For example, a title bar within a wider frame.
Itād also be nice if the drag limits were applied to the parent container, rather than the current drag, if theres a way to do this without needing loads of math, please provide how to.

regardless, heres those control knobs i was talking about, genuinly cool stuff minus the fact i have to do loads of math that seems redundant.
The video might not show it but i even managed to sneak in a ādouble-click to resetā system
One thing Iāll request with rotational draggers is a secondary drag mode that works linearly rather than circularly, many DAWs allow you to configure knobs to work so that if you drag up or to the right, it increases the value, and vice versa.

Oh I didnāt realise that property cool to see this is intentional as I can see use cases for both
For edit 1 Iām referring to the position of the object set
For edit 2 it doesnāt really matter much anyway since itās probably best to use only one udim type or convert it yourself
Ah, yes, thatās the default cursor for UIDragDetectors and DragDetectors. You should be able to change it to whatever cursor you want with the CursorIcon and ActivatedCursorIcon properties.
This new update is amazing! Iām excited to start using the drag-and-drop UI feature 
The touch indicator being out of place has been identified as an issue when dragging with SurfaceGui owned UI, and will be fixed for next weekās release, or the week after.
As for it being stuck after a drag, this has also been identified as a SurfaceGui issue, and is related to the drag not being terminated when dragging far outside of the SurfaceGui bounds on a mobile device. The fix for this wonāt be out next week, but hopefully it will be the week after!

The default cursor should not be at an angle :(

I noticed that these are usable in plugin widgets, but only function when you have no tool enabled.
Will this be changed in the future to allow easy plugin sliders?
The aim is that this will be disabled only when the default tools (Select, Move, Rotate, etc) and the UIEditor is active!

Ah sorry, I worded it wrong. Iām aware that this is the case, itās just I was wondering if there could be an exception to this in plugin widgets (the dockable ones) where it functions like in a live gameāthis would allow plugin creators to more easily create draggers (without needing to explicitly call plugin:SelectRibbonTool( Enum.RibbonTool.None, UDim2.new() ); though, this behavior is acceptable). None of the ribbon tools do anything whilst interacting with a plugin widget to my knowledge.
I only found out about this announcement today, but I was able to quickly make use of this feature.
I made Mobile Steering Wheel controls with this feature, but currently, I can only test it on my computer using my mouse. (UIDragDetectors restricted to Studio access only)
So sad to see that this is only for Roblox Studio testing currently 
But hopefully soon weāll see this being released!

I am having issues when dragging a normal ImageLabel instance.
The issue is demonstrated below:
Issue is produced with a standard ImageLabel with descendants on it.
The UIDragDetector instance properties were left unchanged from default inherited properties in the demo.
If a staff member requires the UI model for repro Iāll gladly private message them with the model file.
Oof, that looks problematic. If you could share the UI Model, that would be greatly helpful with debugging!
We will explore possible solutions and let the thread know-- thank you for your input!

It is mainly small things, like the indicator you mentioned which appears in the wrong position sometimes does not appear at all and sometimes doesnāt gose away.
Sometimes there is also the problem that things donāt respond and you have to completely rejoin the game to be able to use them again. This is especially true when you move the camera when using a drag director, but it often happens without you doing so.
Unfortunately I always get an error message when I try to add a video of itā¦
Edit: When one UI detector stops working, all of them stop for some reason.
A suggestion iād have is to add a Behavior functionality to the UiDragDetectors that will allow the player to click in any position that the UiDragDetectorās DragSpace is defined to, moving the drag detector object to this location
-
Black Box = DragSpace (The bounding box for the dragger)
-
Red Dots = Example places of where the player could click inside of the DragSpace without having to first grab the drag detector itself
-
White Dot = Starting point of the DragDetector
Basically what I mean is if the player clicks anywhere inside of the DragSpace defined within the UiDragDetector while this property is set to true, the drag detector will snap to this location, this would be a VERY nice addition imo.
Also allowing for the movement of the drag detectors from one location to another to be scripted would be nice, as this would allow for smoother animations.
(If this is already possible please let me know, I have been toying with the drag detectors and programming stuff with them for a few hours now and this does not seem possible at the moment)
