Move object until not clicked

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Again, I am making a 2048 test game and I ran into a problem when making a cube dropper. I am trying to make the dropper move but clicking a screen button and when I release the mouse button it stops, but this happens

here is the script.

local Button = script.Parent
local Dind = game.Workspace.Drops.DropIndicator
local Box = game.Workspace.Drops.Box

Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
   repeat
      Dind.Position = Vector3.new(Dind.Position.X, Dind.Position.Y, Dind.Position.Z + .1)
      wait(.01)
   until Button.MouseButton1Up == true
end)

Have you tried looking at the output?

I don’t think Button.MouseButton1Up == true even works, but I’m not sure. MouseButton1Up is an event so I don’t think it would be a bool.

I have tried it with and without the == true but with is the only one that actually makes it move.

Hmm, I’m not sure then. Look at the output and see if there’s any errors.

#5

Nope, there is no errors or warnings, I made a print function that will print when its up and it doesn’t even run.

You should use GuiButton | Roblox Creator Documentation as an event for when the player stops pressing the GUI button.

I can’t test it unfortunately, but try this

local Button = script.Parent
local Dind = game.Workspace.Drops.DropIndicator
local Box = game.Workspace.Drops.Box
local down = false

Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	down = true
	
	local function upDetector()
		Button.MouseButton1Up:connect(function()
			down = false
			coroutine.yield()
		end)
	end
	
	local upCoroutine = coroutine.create(upDetector)
	coroutine.resume(upCoroutine)
	
	while down do
		Dind.Position = Vector3.new(Dind.Position.X, Dind.Position.Y, Dind.Position.Z + .1)
		wait(.01)
	end

end)

Wow, that worked. Thank you so much for the help :blush:

No problem! Sorry for the late reply, I’m only just getting home. Good luck on your game :happy1:

Also, here’s an article on coroutines, they can really come in handy sometimes and are, I think, pretty underused.
