Thanks for reading.

There is no RBXScriptSignal for MouseButton1Click on a frame, no. Though you could use UserInputService but I cannot guarantee you, that you will get the best results :cry:

No, it’s not possible, you should check for another way to conect the MouseButton1Click.

Best alternative is to make transparent button all over the frame.

Well only GuiObjects that have MouseButton1Click signal are TextButton, ImageButton.

Whoops, there is a way!

You could listen for the InputBegan event on a frame;

local Frame = script.Parent

Frame.InputBegan:Connect(
    function(InputObject)
        if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
            ...
        end
    end
)

This will work only for PC (just saying) but great idea how to go around this.

If you want to create a sort of custom button for whatever reason, you can first detect if the mouse ishovering over the frame. If so, respond whenever the mouse clicks.

local MouseHovering = false
local Frame = path.to.frame

local function OnFrameClicked()
	print("Click!")
end

Frame.MouseEnter:Connect(function ()
	MouseHovering = true
end)

Frame.MouseLeave:Connect(function ()
	MouseHovering = false
end)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function (input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and MouseHovering then
		OnFrameClicked()
	end
end)

Note this doesn’t detect mobile input. I’m just sharing this with you to get you started! (This also isn’t tested in Roblox Studio)

This should work on mobile [NOT TESTED]
Read the reply this doesn’t work

local Frame = script.Parent
local marketplace = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

Frame.InputBegan:Connect(
	function(InputObject)
		if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 or Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
			...
		end
	end
)

You can just put an invisible textbutton over it if you really want

That wouldn’t work because of how or operates.

Just do:

if table.find({Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1, Enum.UserInputType.Touch}, InputObject.UserInputType) then

Oh perfectly! Nice idea, U explain this perfectly!

#16

i know this post is old but isnt it simpler to just do

if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 or InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then

instead ? :sweat_smile:

#17

You could do that if you want; I like to use table.find if I’m detecting a large number of different inputs

i see, although i havent found much use to it myself, ill be reading up on table functions since i do admit i dont know much about them
