how to print something if a certain part is hovered over and clicked?

Asked 383 views1 answers

I'm a little confused. pretty sure I can't use a function in a if statement like I did but I don't know the alternative. basically just trying to print "done" if the part is hovered over by the mouse and clicked. any help would be appreciated


local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local function clicked()
	mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
		
	end)
end


mouse.move:connect(function()
	
	if mouse.Target == game.Workspace.Part and clicked() then
		print("done")
		
		end
	
end)

There are many ways to achieve this but the easiest would be by adding a clickdetector to the part and then using the MouseClick event

example:

local part = workspace.Part
local ClickDetector = Instance.new("ClickDetector") -- u can add the clickdetector manually into workspace or using script, your choice
ClickDetector.Parent = part

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	print("done")
end)

see this article over clickdetector

and u can use functions in if statements
