How to disable (not script.Disabled) a script once a tool is equipped?
Im trying to temporarily disable a mouse button punching script once the player selects a tool. But when I tried script.Disabled the script still runs. Then I tried adding a bool value to the script, and when the tool is equipped the value will turn false, which should not let the script run. However the script runs regardless. Is there another way?
Edit: Sorry for not putting the script here earlier. Here it is:
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
local char = player.Character
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local func = script:WaitForChild("PunchFunc")
local PunchEnable = script.PunchEnable
local enabled = true
local tapped = false
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if enabled == true and PunchEnable.Value == true then
enabled = false
func:FireServer("Combat", "Left")
wait()
enabled = true
end
end)
mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
if not tapped then
tapped = true
wait(0.3)
tapped = false
else
if enabled == true and PunchEnable.Value == true then
enabled = false
func:FireServer("Combat", "Right")
wait()
enabled = true
end
end
end)
This is a local script that tells the remote "PunchFunc" to fire. Im trying to disable this script while a tool is equipped. PunchEnable is the bool value of the script, and i've already inserted a script into the tool that controls whether this value will be turned false or true depending if its unequipped or equipped. However as previously mentioned it does not work.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(NewChild)
if NewChild:IsA("Tool") then
--a new tool is equipped -- add disabled script
--NewChild is the tool equipped
end
end)
--then to detect if the tool is unequipped you do the opposite
Character.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(RemovedChild)
if RemovedChild:IsA("Tool") then
--the tool is unequipped -- add enabled script
--RemovedChild is the tool unequipped
end
end)
hope this works, I dont know if it will though
try using
script:Destroy()

The boolean value was a good approach. But you didn't script it to do anything with it so, you would stay with the code that disables that value, and checks on the punch mouse button script before doing anything, so i would assume your code is
local Mouse = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
if Mouse then
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
-- code
end)
end
Or something like that, so before running the code check if the value (must be a boolean) inside the script is true, if it isn't then don't do anything
An example would be
local Value = nil -- Define the variable
local Mouse = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
if Mouse then
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if Value.Value == true then
print("The boolean value is true and the player clicked!")
end
end)
end
Since you didn't provide code you would have to do it on your own, but you get the idea.
If this answered your question then mark it as the answer!

Try connecting your functions to a coroutine like this:
local function punch()
--Punch function
end
local CoroutineFunction = coroutine.create(punch)
CoroutineFunction.yield()
You can read more about coroutine here
You can call a remote event stored in replicated storage to tell coroutine to yield the function(s). For example:
Server sided:
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Yeld Event")
local function Event(Equipped)
RemoteEvent:FireClient(Equipped)
end
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(Event)
Client Sided Yield Script:
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Yeld Event")
local function Event(Equipped)
if Equipped then
--Use coroutine on functions here
else
--Use coroutine.resume() here
end
end
RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(Event)
Client Sided Tool Script:
local Tool = script.Parent
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Yeld Event")
local function Equipped()
RemoteEvent:FireServer(true)
end
local function Unequipped()
RemoteEvent:FireServer(false)
end
Tool.Equipped:Connect(Equipped)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(Unequipped)
