How can one use UserInputService to tell if a mouse button has been released?
I am aware that you can use UserInputService.InputBegan to tell if a mouse button has been clicked but I am unaware if you can use it to tell if the mouse is up. Would I use InputEnded?

you dont need uis for that, there is an event on the mouse for that theking48989987 2147 — 5y

Yes, but I thought It was more efficient to use UIS, am I incorrect? Stephenthefox 94 — 5y

mouse.Button1Up is the best to use, use a debounce to check if it is being held greatneil80 2647 — 5y

The Mouse class is going to eventually be deprecated. UserInputService is shaping up to be(and should be)the best way of handling user input, mouse or not. User#19524 175 — 5y

To achieve this you can use InputEnded as shown here:
local clickHolding = true --Just for example
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
clickHolding = false
end
end)

that won't work because you can't set multiple words to be one variable ("click holding" can't be a variable) User#22604 1 — 5y

Sorry fixed @gewehrrenben and yes, mostly so other who needed to know could search it and find out @DaCrazyDev . Stephenthefox 94 — 5y

or you could ignore user input service and use
local plr = game.Players:WaitForChild("LocalPlayer")
local mouse = plr.GetMouse()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
-- what happens when player holds down left button
end)
mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
-- what happens when player releases left button
end)
--You could use to do the right button, use
--Mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
--for right button down

That's not the point of the question, though? proIua 32 — 5y

Exactly, plus as shown above, that will soon be depreciated. Stephenthefox 94 — 5y
