How to check what a tool has clicked?

Asked Dec 29, 2014223 views1 answers

player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
tool = script.Parent
handle = tool.Handle

function onClicked()
	handle.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
end

tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
	mouse.Button1Down:connect(onClicked)
end)

I have this so when I played clicks it changes the color of the handle, but how can I make it check what the player has clicked, like if onClicked.Name == "Dirt" then print("You clicked on dirt")

Try putting a ClickDetector in anything that can be clicked, and include a script in it. Make the script have the following:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
	print("You clicked on " .. script.Parent.Name.. "!")
end)

That would not work because clicking ClickDetectors with a tool selected does not work.
