How Can I Break This Loop? [SLOVED]

Asked 359 views1 answers

Hello!

I need your help to find how to break this loop in line 3 when I release mouse button:

script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
	mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
		while mouse.Button1Down do
			wait()
			if mouse.Target.Name == "DrawBoard" then
					local instspr = Instance.new("Part")
				instspr.Parent = mouse.Target
				instspr.CFrame = CFrame.new(mouse.Hit.p) * CFrame.new(0, 0.1, 0)
				instspr.Anchored = true
				instspr.CanCollide = false
				instspr.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
				instspr.Name = "DrawPix"
				instspr.FormFactor = Enum.FormFactor.Custom
				instspr.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
				instspr.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
				instspr.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
			end
		end
	end)
end)

A debounce.

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
	down = true --Setting down to true before the loop starts
	while down do -- While down is true it will loop
	--stuff
	end
end)

mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
	down = false --When button it released it sets down to false thus breaking the loop
end)

Wouldn't you want to put the while loop outside the click event?

Yeah if you put it in a function then run that function every time the click event happens.
