Best way to add a click function for a tool?

I would use UserInputService.
To me, I feel like UserInputService is much more flexible than .Activated or any other way you would detect a click with a tool.
Here's how to use it.
-- Local script inside tool
local tool = script.Parent
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local enabled = false
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
if gameProcessed or not enabled then return end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
-- Fire remote event
end
end)
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
enabled = true
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
enabled = false
end)
Server script:
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
-- Code
end)
depends on what you are trying to do
generally i would go for <mouse.Button1Down and <mouse.Button1Up>
if you want to make a gun for example then best go for the <mouse.Button1Down and <mouse.Button1Up> options
this is mostly opinion
Tool.Activated is the easiest to use for me.
Example of use:
--LocalScript inside tool
tool = script.Parent
function makeEvent()
local remoteEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
remoteEvent.Name = PointsEvent
remoteEvent:FireServer()
end
tool.Activated:connect(makeEvent)
--ServerScript in ServerScriptService
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local eventMade = false
local remoteEvent
if replicatedStorage.PointsEvent then
remoteEvent = replicatedStorage.PointsEvent
eventMade = true
end
function addPoints(player)
player.leaderstats.Points = player.leaderstats.Points + 1
end
if eventMade then
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(addPoints)
end
Hope this helps!
