My Firing Projectile Isn't Working?

Here's the local script, and thank you for looking at my question.

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

Gun = script.Parent

Ammo = 5

mouse = Player:GetMouse()

function Shoot()

    if Ammo > 0 then
        local Bullet = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
        game.Debris:addItem(Bullet, 2)
        Bullet.Shape = "Ball"
        Bullet.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
        Bullet.TopSurface = "Smooth"
        Bullet.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
        Bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Dark stone grey")
        Bullet.CanCollide = false
        Bullet.CFrame = Gun.Handle.CFrame
        Bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(Bullet.Position,mouse.Hit.p)
  local v = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", Bullet)
        v.velocity = Bullet.CFrame.lookVector * 90
        v.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
    end

end

Everything is correct, but my Firing Projectile still won't fire. Can you help me? Thank you!

You need to use an event in order to get the 'shoot()' function to work. I would recommend using UserInput, like so;

serv = game:GetService("UserInputService")
serv.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
    if serv.MouseEnabled then
        if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
            shoot()
        end
    end
end)

I'd give a more through explanation of each line, but I'm on mobile. Still, hope this helps. :)

I'd meant 'Shoot()' not 'shoot()', sorry! saenae 318 — 8y

Awesome thank you for your answer it really helped me! So If I want to use any player action next time, I use UserInput? GreekGodOfMLG 244 — 8y

Glad I could help. And yep, you should. Here's a link to all of the properties of Userinput, just to show you what you can do with it. http://wiki.roblox.com/?title=API:Class/UserInputService saenae 318 — 8y
