Async Zero-Latency Buttons

[Tasyen]

nice idea, speeds up the clicking action even in single player by upto 0.2s.

But I dislike when one clicks, holds mouse, moves out of button and then releases mouse button the action is called, which is not like normal control click.
You could fix this with an optional check for the Mouse HoverLight child to know that the button still is hovered.

Not a yuuuge fan of the dependency hell. I suppose I will have to rip this apart like I do with your other scripts

You just have to replace a few lines to get rid of the requirements. Just overwrite the BlzFrameSetEnable and BlzFrameSetVisible functions manually.

I'm actually gonna probably remove a large chunk of that stuff. I tried to import it into my map and I can't get it to not crash. Even using BlzGetOriginFrame can crash the game apparently.

Maybe that's something we could get the new team to fix. Would not take a lot of time to just put a few safety guards in front of these natives, such as BlzFrameGetParent returning nil if used on an originframe.

Ok, uploaded a safe version.

Async Buttons enable the user to interface with custom UI elements smoothly and eloquently. A must have for any project.

if REGISTER_BUTTON_RIGHT_CLICKS then
            local mouseDownTrig = CreateTrigger()
            local mouseUpTrig = CreateTrigger()
            local player
            for i = 0, 23 do
                player = Player(i)
                if GetPlayerSlotState(player) == PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING and GetPlayerController(player) == MAP_CONTROL_USER then
                    TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(mouseDownTrig, player, EVENT_PLAYER_MOUSE_DOWN)
                    TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(mouseUpTrig, player, EVENT_PLAYER_MOUSE_UP)
                end
            end
            TriggerAddAction(mouseDownTrig, OnMouseRightDown)
            TriggerAddAction(mouseUpTrig, OnMouseRightUp)
        end

Engulf this if condition scope into an OnInit.final to prevent any risks of desync due to player slot state.

A very neat system that breaches borders to an imaginary world of frames of possibilities.

Amazing finding! This opens up quite a few doors!
Such a shame that it cannot detect right clicks async, though. Blizzard why
