Asked by

So I have binded a action which uses mousebutton1 and touch and I wanted to see what input I can get out of clicking a ImageButton

which I Had found out when you click or do any input on a imagebutton it completely ignores the binded contextactionservice


ContextActionService:BindAction('BeganInput',

    function(Name,InputState, Object)
        print(InputState)


    end, 

    false, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1, Enum.UserInputType.Touch
)

Heres an example

when I click an image it completely ignores this BindAction

and the BindAction does not fire at all

i see what your trying to do. Instead of using a button why not make a custom one using imageLabels

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ScreenGui = script.Parent
local ImageLabel = ScreenGui.ImageLabel
local MouseEnum = Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1
local DebugFrame = ScreenGui:FindFirstChild("ImageButton") or Instance.new("ImageLabel",ScreenGui)
DebugFrame.Active = false
DebugFrame.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(.5,.5)
local MousePosition = UDim2.fromOffset(0,0)
local MouseTrackName = "MouseTrackName"
local function TrackMouse(Name,InputState, InputObject)
    if Name == MouseTrackName and InputState == Enum.UserInputState.Change then
        local MousePostion = UserInputService:GetMouseLocation()
        MousePosition = UDim2.fromOffset(MousePostion.X,MousePostion.Y)
        DebugFrame.Position = MousePosition
    end
end
ImageLabel.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject)
    if InputObject.UserInputType == MouseEnum or InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
        ContextActionService:BindAction(MouseTrackName,TrackMouse,false,Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement,Enum.UserInputType.Touch,MouseEnum)
        local MousePostion = UserInputService:GetMouseLocation()
        DebugFrame.Position = UDim2.fromOffset(MousePostion.X,MousePostion.Y)
    end
end)
ImageLabel.InputEnded:Connect(function(InputObject)
    if InputObject.UserInputType == MouseEnum or InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
        ContextActionService:UnbindAction(MouseTrackName)
    end
end)
