How To Make a Script Where You Click Once It Does Something, But When You Click The Second Time It Does Something Else? I tried this, but of course it doesn't work...
function onClicked()
--Code
function onClicked()
--Code
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked)
Thank you!
I'd just be repeating other answers, but i'd like to explain why it works.
Toggling
We can create a variable with a boolean value, that changes the first time we click it, like this:
local Bool = true
local Button = script.Parent
Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
-- If bool is true, then...
if Bool then
-- This will be what happens on the first click
print('Bool is true')
else
-- If bool is false, this is what will happen on the second click
print('Bool is false')
end
-- We can use the "not" operation to convert the bool to it's opposite.
Bool = not Bool
end)
Hope that made it a bit more clear, if not already.
EDIT: (in response to your counter question)
If we wanted to have different actions happen more than twice, we could use a number value as an increment, instead of a bool as a binary statement. Like this:
local Inc = 1
local Button = script.Parent
Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
-- If bool is equal to 1, then...
if Bool == 1 then
-- This will be what happens on the first click
print('Bool is '..Inc)
elseif Bool == 2 then
-- If bool is 2, then ...
print('Bool is '..Inc)
elseif Bool == 3 then
-- If bool is 3 then ...
print('Bool is '..Inc)
end
-- Now, let's add 1 to "Inc".
Inc = Inc + 1
end)
You could even make an array of events that we can index with the "Inc" variable. Like this:
local Button = script.Parent
local Inc = 1
local ButtonEvents = {
function()
print('Event 1')
end,
function()
print('Event 2')
end,
function()
print('Event 3')
end
}
Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
-- If our index exists, then ...
if ButtonEvents[Inc] then
-- Call the value associated with the key (must be a function)
ButtonEvents[Inc]()
end
-- Increase the increment
Inc = Inc + 1
end)
Thank you so much for the answer, but what if you click the third time?
Well, i suppose you could make a number value, and use if statements to execute code based off what number of times you clicked it.
Thank you for your response! However, I am not a good scripter, so can you give me an example please? Thanks!
Sure. I'll update the answer.
Thank you so much! I would give you reputation, but I can't since I need at least 5
No problem, lol
Problem
I see your problem but you didn't really do anything besides ask so Il just give you a script
Solution
clicked = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if clicked == false then --1st click
clicked = true
end
if clicked == true then --2nd click
end
end)
clicked = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if clicked == false then
clicked = true
-- do stuff
elseif clicked == true then
clicked = false
-- do stuff
end
end)
Thank you so much for the answer, but what if you click the third time?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? A double-click method of some sort?
