Repeat block of code while button is held on a block?
so thanks for the user Ryzox i have a working script that gives gold when u click on a block....and im using it for a super simple fishing system, but im wanting it to repeat giving gold while you are holding click on the block if it makes sense.....
im very noob at lua so i have no clue how to do this. i know its probably going to use the While repeat but idk how to add that along with while mouse button is down or w/e and help would be appreciated :)
here is the script ive got
1 | script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player) |
2 | local Leaderstats = player:findFirstChild("leaderstats") |
3 | if Leaderstats:findFirstChild("Gold") then |
4 | --Below needs to repeat while left mouse button is held down on the block |
5 | Leaderstats.Gold.Value = Leaderstats.Gold.Value + 10 |
6 | --Above needs to repeat while left mouse button down on the block |
7 | end |
8 | end) |

The Click Detector itself does not have an event (E.G "MouseClick" in your code there) However the MouseClick event gives a player object and inside that there is a function (E.G "FindFirstChild") called "GetMouse" which returns a "PlayerMouse" object which does have an event to detect when the mouse buttons are released.
01 | script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player) --The clickdetector event gives a player object. |
02 | local leftMouseDown = true |
03 | player:GetMouse().Button1Up:connect(function() |
04 | leftMouseDown = false --When the left mouse button is released then the loop will be stopped. |
05 | end) |
06 | while leftMouseDown do --This is equal to "while leftMouseDown == true do". This basically means that while the leftMouseDown variable is true then run the code inside |
07 | player.leaderstats.Gold.Value = player.leaderstats.Gold.Value + 10 --This adds the 10 gold to the leaderstats |
08 | wait(1) --This means that the loop waits 1 second before adding another 10 gold |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
This code does assume that the "leaderstats" and the "Gold" Instances already exist. Meaning that if they don't then the code will error.
I added them in like so:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) --Called whenever a player joins the game |
2 | local leaderstats = Instance.new("Model") |
3 | leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" |
4 | leaderstats.Parent = player |
5 | local gold = Instance.new("IntValue") |
6 | gold.Name = "Gold" |
7 | gold.Parent = leaderstats |
8 | end) |
Hope this was what you was looking for.
