(Sorry if this happens to be the wrong category! It sorta involves GUIs, and i’ve never written a thread about them. Anyways, let’s get to the point!)
What do i want to achieve? Make it so when the mouse hovers over my GUI, it can make it through the small gap inbetween my first frame and my second frame.
What is the issue? Since i disable the second frame with MouseLeave to prevent two different frames from clipping, i can never make it across the gap. The video below shows that.
What solutions have i tried so far? Extending the frames, but that ruined the design.
The script below is what i used. The script is stored inside a LocalScript object.
--Variables
local btn = script.Parent --Script's parent
local sub = btn.HiList --List of other similar words
--Main function
btn.MouseEnter:Connect(function() --When the mouse hovers over the script's parent
sub.Visible = true --Make the list of similar words visible
end) --End this function
--Second function
btn.MouseLeave:Connect(function() --When the mouse hovers elsewhere
sub.Visible = false --Make the list of similar words invisible
end) --End this function
--Repeats the check every 0.01 seconds
while wait(0.01) do
--Variables
local frm = script.Parent.Options --Options Frame
local prt = script.Parent --Script's Parent
if frm.Visible == true then --If the Options Frame is visible then
prt.Image = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=7096112767" --Change the Parent's image to the "pressed down" image
elseif frm.Visible == false then --Otherwise, if the OPtions Frame isn't visible then
prt.Image = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=7096111806" --Change the parent's image to the default image
end --End the if statement
end --End the checking
The thing in FrameOpen is
--Variables
local btn = script.Parent
local frm = btn.Options
local function opn()
frm.Visible = not frm.Visible
end
--Open/Close Frame
btn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(opn)
The thing in all of the SendBubble objects is
--Variables
local csv = game:GetService("Chat") --Gets the chat
local txt = script.Parent.Text --Variable for the text that will be sent
local btn = script.Parent --Script's parent
--Main function
btn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() --When someone clicks the button once
csv:Chat(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head --[[The head of who clicked --]], txt --[[Text to be sent--]], Enum.ChatColor.White --[[Sends a white bubble--]])
end)
And inside all of the WhenHover objects is
--Variables
local btn = script.Parent --Script's parent
local sub = btn.InsertFrameNameHere --List of other similar words
--Main function
btn.MouseEnter:Connect(function() --When the mouse hovers over the script's parent
sub.Visible = true --Make the list of similar words visible
end) --End this function
--Second function
btn.MouseLeave:Connect(function() --When the mouse hovers elsewhere
sub.Visible = false --Make the list of similar words invisible
end) --End this function
I think a good solution for this would for to create an invisible frame, inside the area where you want the mouse to be when the tab is open.
Check for MouseLeave on that new invisible frame inside of the one you’re currently doing the check on.
No, create a new frame which will act as the arena for the mouse to be in. If the mouse leaves that frame, close the tab.
Make the frame transparency equal to 1.
You would have an invisible frame in the background which is the frame registering the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events, instead of either of those frames. They just display and have the buttons, while the invisible frame (don’t use the visible property otherwise the events won’t register! instead use Transparency = 1 as @RedstonePlayz09 mentioned.) is detecting for the mouse leaving and entering.
--Variables
local btn = script.Parent --Script's parent
local sub = btn.HiList --List of other similar words
--Main function
btn.MouseEnter:Connect(function() --When the mouse hovers over the script's parent
sub.Visible = true --Make the list of similar words visible
end) --End this function
--Second function
sub.MouseLeave:Connect(function() -- After mouse left designated frame
sub.Visible = false --Make the list of similar words invisible
end) --End this function
Explanation:
Since we want the player to be able to access the list of similar words, perhaps we should only close the frame after they hover away from it, not the button.
this is your solution though, from the code given, you have to iterate (for loop getchildren or get descendants) through the menu’s everytime on mousebuttonhover, set the ones not associated to the given menu to false, associated one to true (visibility property).
when mouseleave, set every menu visibility to false.
