TouchPan doesnt change state to End

Hey… I want to use TouchPan as a form of TouchHold, however the input state never becomes End?

game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GameUI").MobileUI.ShootButton2.TouchPan:Connect(function(pos,translate,vel,state)
	print(state)
	if Enum.UserInputState.Begin == state and not dragging2 then
		dragging2 = true
		basePosition2 = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GameUI").MobileUI.ShootButton2.Position
		startTouchPosition2 = pos[1]
		shootingMobile("Down")	
	elseif Enum.UserInputState.End == state and dragging2 then
		shootingMobile("Up")
		dragging2 = false
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GameUI").MobileUI.ShootButton2.Position = truePosition2
	elseif Enum.UserInputState.Change == state then
		local touchPosition = pos[1]
		local deltaPosition = UDim2.new(
			0, touchPosition.X - startTouchPosition2.X,
			0, touchPosition.Y - startTouchPosition2.Y
		)
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GameUI").MobileUI.ShootButton2.Position = basePosition2 + deltaPosition
	end
end)

what this code essentially does is it moves a button around and (should) snaps it back to place when you let go. however, the Enum.UserInputState.End never happens, it starts with Begin and then spams Change until I let go when it stops entirely… how would I know when it ended?

Can you test this in a live game?
The developer hub states that “This event cannot be simulated in Studio using the emulator and a mouse; you must have a real touch enabled device to fire this event.”
GuiObject.TouchPan (roblox.com)

I have, I’m using my phone to test this (iPhone X)

#4

Does it also only fail with Buttons, have you tried this with say a Label or Image or something other?

Its been a long while since I work with UI, does the ‘Active’ property have any impact on this as well?

#6

I haven’t tested it with anything that isnt a button, the active property is on, I tried checking it off but that just made it not work at all…

EDIT:
I just tested with a frame instead, still the same results.

#7

Sounds like its just a bug then.

Not sure if you can change the category or if you’ll need to create a new topic as a Bug Report.

#8

I cant create bug reports…
you can only create one as a regular forum member

#9

I can only create Forum Bugs apparently.
Well that’s annoying.

#10

yeah same as me…
you can’t create an engine bug post?

#11

Used to be able to, but for an unknown reason that Support haven’t bothered getting back to me about, I can not longer create them.
Don’t when that changes or why, just the case now.
