UserInputService doesn't detect mouse movement? [closed]

This has been an issue for me for quite some time now. Initially, I was unsure if this was ROBLOX's fault or my fault. But after waiting this long I'm just not sure anymore...

Here's a seemingly viable example of checking for mouse movement with UserInputService. I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, or if this has just been a thing with ROBLOX forever:

1local inputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
2 
3inputService.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
4    print(input) -- Not even the MouseMovement input type shows.
5end)

Nothing prints when the mouse is moved. I feel like I'm probably just missing something, but at the same time I see nothing wrong with this, for there's a UserInputType called MouseMovement. So, if anyone has any insight on this I'd appreciate it.

Edit:

It also doesn't detect any of the following UserInputTypes (including MouseMovement):

MouseWheel
TextInput

The users mouse is a constant event so it will not end / have an end state.

You are able to use the 'InputChanged' event to find when the mouse is moved:-

1local inputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
2local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
3 
4inputService.InputChanged:connect(function(input)
5   print('inServ', input.UserInputType, input.Position,'mouse' ,mouse.X, mouse.Y)
6end)

Hope this helps

I found that both MouseMovementand MouseWheel can be detected using InputChanged rather than InputBegan. I'm not sure about TextInput however.
