How to run a function as long as a player hold down mouse button1?
I know I asked this before with keys, but when I do mouse.button1down, it keeps saying it being pressed when I'm not pressing it .-.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
function mousedown()
while true do
wait()
local hold = false
if mouse.Button1Down then
print('on')
hold = true
end
if mouse.Button1Up then
hold = false
end
if hold == true then
onActivated()
end
end
end

Your problem is on line 8 and 12. Simply putting mouse.Button1Down or mouse.Button1Up does not return a boolean value of true or false, rather just states that it is in fact an event of mouse (try printing mouse.Button1Down or mouse.Button1Up).
In order to check if it is being held, we will need a variable that a Button1Down event changes to true and a Button1Up changes to false:
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local button1down = false
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
button1down = true
local timedown = 0
while button1down do
--code
end
end)
mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
button1down = false
end)
