Can I implement mouse drag from one Studio plugin GUI to another?
I would like to be able to drag objects between two DockWidgetPluginGuis created by the same Studio plugin. I have dragging within a window working, but it seems I don't get any events for the other window while the mouse button is still held down.
Example code:
01 | local win1 = plugin:CreateDockWidgetPluginGui( |
03 | DockWidgetPluginGuiInfo.new(Enum.InitialDockState.Float, true, true) |
05 | win1.Name = "MouseTest_Window1" |
06 | win1.Title = "Mouse Test 1" |
07 | local frame1 = Instance.new("Frame", win1) |
08 | frame1.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0) |
09 | frame1.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(.5, .5, .5) |
10 | local square = Instance.new("Frame", frame1) |
11 | square.Size = UDim2.new(0,50,0,50) |
12 | square.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(.1, 1, .1) |
14 | local win2 = plugin:CreateDockWidgetPluginGui( |
16 | DockWidgetPluginGuiInfo.new(Enum.InitialDockState.Float, true, true) |
18 | win2.Name = "MouseTest_Window2" |
19 | win2.Title = "Mouse Test 2" |
20 | local frame2 = Instance.new("Frame", win2) |
21 | frame2.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0) |
22 | frame2.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(.5, .5, .5) |
27 | local function MoveSquare(mouseX, mouseY) |
28 | print("Move", mouseX, mouseY) |
30 | square.Position = UDim2.new(0, mouseX + mouseToSquare.X, 0, mouseY + mouseToSquare.Y) |
34 | local function OnEnterFrame(frame, x, y) |
35 | print("Enter", frame.Parent.Name, x, y) |
39 | square.BackgroundTransparency = 0 |
43 | local function OnLeaveFrame() |
47 | square.BackgroundTransparency = 0.5 |
51 | square.InputBegan:Connect(function(input) |
52 | if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then |
53 | mouseToSquare = square.AbsolutePosition - Vector2.new(input.Position.X, input.Position.Y) |
55 | event = input.Changed:Connect(function() |
56 | print("input object:", input.UserInputState, input.UserInputType) |
57 | if input.UserInputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then |
58 | square.BackgroundTransparency = 0 |
66 | frame1.MouseEnter:Connect(function(x,y) OnEnterFrame(frame1, x, y) end) |
67 | frame1.MouseMoved:Connect(MoveSquare) |
68 | frame1.MouseLeave:Connect(OnLeaveFrame) |
69 | frame2.MouseEnter:Connect(function(x,y) OnEnterFrame(frame2, x, y) end) |
70 | frame2.MouseMoved:Connect(MoveSquare) |
71 | frame2.MouseLeave:Connect(OnLeaveFrame) |
The green square can be dragged around window 1, and fades if the mouse leaves that window, but I don't get any print output at all when the mouse moves into or through window 2. If I release the mouse button in window 2, I do start getting input events there, so I could "snap" the object into the window at that time, but it would be much nicer to be able to see where you're placing it.
I also tried looking at the plugin mouse from plugin:Activate(true) and plugin:GetMouse(), but didn't see any events from it during this sort of drag either.
Is there some way to detect a mouse drag into another window, or is this just not possible?
