InputObject:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position") will not work properly on MouseButton1?

So I have a userinputservice going on in my script

and I tried to set a

 InputObject:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position")

Apparently this works perfectly fine on Mobile

But when it comes to desktop it fires once which is when the Input has ended

Does anyone know why this is?

Heres my code

ImageButton.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject)
	
	
	
	if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 or InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
		InputObject:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position"):Connect(function()
			print('Mouse has moved')
		end)
	end
	
end)

To be honest this code does work on Desktop too but the printing seems to stack meaning the events are stacking

which is a memory leak?

Anyone know whats going on?

what you have to do is disconnect the events

local Connection = nil
ImageButton.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject)
	if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 or InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
		Connection = InputObject:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position"):Connect(function()
			print("MouseMoved")
		end)
	end
end)
ImageButton.InputEnded:Connect(function()
	if Connection then
		Connection:Disconnect()
		Connection = nil
	end
end)

I have already tried this but the problem I am facing right now is that this script will not fire the position event for some reason unlike mobile and I still don't know why but it just wont fire them as they are being dragged for some reason the event seems to fire only when the Input is ended

Not only that when you wrap the event inside of the condition that its either gotta be a MouseButton1 or Touch it starts doing that however when it is outside of the condition it does not do that do you know why this is happening to me?

im pretty sure ContextActionService is better at handling TouchInputs and Keyboard input aswell as gamepad inputs

and you can try to get mouse postion on screen when clicked basically the same thing

Or when the mouse moves

Is contextactionservice good for GUI's I have always thought of contextactionservice as something other than GUIS like weapons or creating buttons systematically

Also there is no input changed event specifically made for context action service which I had to use MouseMovement and Enum.UserInputType.Touch for that and you know Input Changed is probably better than listing those two since there could be other input changed events

Also I have noticed ContextActionService performs poorly with GUI's Input Began like the context action dosen't detect the input began on the gui so like smh

cant you just detect when clicked then Track the mouse Position and stop when ContextActionService ObjectState changed to end??
