Why does the code try to run even though the tool is not equipped?

Asked 200 views1 answers

So basically, I have a local script running inside a tool to play an animation and fire a remote event whenever I click and have the tool equipped, but instead what happens is that if I click and the tool isn't equipped, it fires the remote event. Could someone tell me why?

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Attack = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("OnAttackSword")
local char = plr.Character


UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, event)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and script.Parent.Equipped then
		
		print("OK")
		game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("OnAttackSword"):FireServer(char)
		script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 9
		local animation = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack1)
		animation:Play()
		wait(1.3)
		script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		
	end
end)

Inputbegan fires the function whenever the usermade an input. With the if statement, your code fires, every click. This mean the code doesn't check whether the player has equiped the tool or not. There is actually a special event made for this that fires a function whenever the tool is equiped (.Activated)

local Tool = script.Parent
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	-- your code
end)

You cant use .Equipped because it is an event..
