How would I make it so after 1 second of not clicking the combo resets?

Asked 234 views1 answers

I want to make it so when you stop clicking for 1 second (or more) it resets the combo

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
	if cooldown == true then return end
		if combo == 0 then
		cooldown = true
			combo = 1
			print("first m1")
			m1:Play()
			wait(.3)
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Dmg:FireServer(leftarm,5,.8)
			wait(.47)
		cooldown = false
	elseif combo == 1 then
		cooldown = true
		combo = 2
		print("second m1")
		m2:Play()
		wait(.1)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Dmg:FireServer(rightarm,5,.3)
		wait(.19)
		cooldown = false
	elseif combo == 2 then
		cooldown = true
		combo = 3
		print("third m1")
		m3:Play()
		wait(.1)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Dmg:FireServer(leftarm,5,.3)
		wait(.19)
		cooldown = false
	elseif combo == 3 then
		cooldown = true
		combo = 0
		print("fourth m1")
		m4:Play()
		wait(.2)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Dmg:FireServer(leftleg,8,.3)
		wait(1.5)
		cooldown = false
	end
end)

Add a while true loop running in a different thread so as not to yield the current thread in case you want code Fter that. Inside this while true do loop, check every second to see if the value was the same as last time, if it is, then that means nothing was added to the combo meaning it should end.

Example of running code in another thread, basically running multiple code at once:

Spawn(function()

     --code

end)

So to do all of this would be something like:

Spawn(function()

     lastCombo = 0 

     While true do

          wait(1) --always wait 1 second

          If combo == lastcombo then -- checks if combo was same as it was a second ago

               combo = 0 -- cancels/resets combo if it was the same meaning the combo hasn't increased

          end

          lastCombo = combo -- setting the last combo then restarting loop which waits a second before executing the check again.

     end

end)

Hope this helps:3

I don't suggest using spawns various reasons, use corountines instead.
