How do you modify this raycast to continuously fire?

Hi there. I was curious to know how I could modify this wiki script to continuously fire. I was thinking about checking if the mouse is in the up position, and if not then stopping the laser, but that's beyond my capability.

Here's the script,

--Original script from the ROBLOX wiki, modified for this games purpose.

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
 
tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
	mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
		local ray = Ray.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p, (mouse.Hit.p - tool.Handle.CFrame.p).unit * 300)
		local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, player.Character, false, true)
 
		local beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
		--beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
		--modify this to make the player choose what color they like!
		beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
		beam.Material = "Neon"
		beam.Transparency = 0.25
		beam.Anchored = true
		beam.Locked = true
		beam.CanCollide = false
 
		local distance = (tool.Handle.CFrame.p - position).magnitude
		beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.3, 0.3, distance)
		beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p, position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)
		game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(beam, 0.25)

		if part then
			local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
 
			if not humanoid then
				humanoid = part.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			end
 
			if humanoid then
				humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
				wait(.1)
			end
		end
	end)
end)

After awhile I was able to create a single beam rather than several projectiles.

Local Script

local tool = script.Parent
local toggle = tool:WaitForChild("Toggle")
local part = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local pos = tool:WaitForChild("pos")
local m
local u
local run = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped
local on = false
local equipped = true

local storepos = coroutine.create(function(mouse)
	while equipped do
		pos.Value = mouse.Hit.p
		run:wait()
	end
end)

tool.Equipped:connect(function()
	local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
	repeat run:wait() until player.Character
	local character = player.Character
	local mouse = player:GetMouse()
	coroutine.resume(storepos,mouse)
	m = mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
		on = true
		toggle:FireServer(true)
	end)
	u = mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
		if not on then return end
		on = false
		toggle:FireServer(false)
	end)
end)

tool.Unequipped:connect(function()
	m:disconnect()
	u:disconnect()
	equipped = false
	if not on then return end
	on = false
	toggle:FireServer(false)
end)

Server Script

local tool = script.Parent
local toggle = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Toggle")
local part = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Handle")
local mousepos = script.Parent:WaitForChild("pos")
local on = false

local beam = Instance.new("Part")
beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
beam.Size = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
beam.TopSurface = "Smooth"
beam.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
beam.CanCollide = false
beam.Anchored = true
beam.Transparency = 0.5
beam.Material = "Neon"

toggle.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player,bool)
	if bool then
		on = true
		local character = player.Character
		local clone = beam:Clone()
		clone.Parent = tool
		while on do
			local pos = part.Position
			local ray = Ray.new(part.Position,(mousepos.Value - pos).unit*300)
			local hit,endpos = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray,character,false,true)
			local distance = (pos - endpos).magnitude
			clone.Size = Vector3.new(0,0,distance)
			clone.CFrame = CFrame.new(pos, endpos)*CFrame.new(0,0,-distance/2)
			if hit then
				local human = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
				if human then
					human:TakeDamage(1)
				end
			end
			wait()
		end
		clone:Destroy()
	else
		on = false
	end
end)

Note that these two scrips should be inside the tool. There should also be a remote event called "Toggle" and a Vector3Value called "pos" inside the tool.

This script would have been a lot easier had filtering enabled been switched off, but filtering enabled is important in keeping games secure.

The main problem posed by filtering enabled was creating the laser beam to be server-side instead of client-side, so that all players could see it. If that doesn't matter to you, then it's much easier to make the laser beam client-side.

To put this script simply, all I did was use the MouseButton1Down, MouseButton1Up, and Unequipped events to toggle whether the beam should be on or off, and I used a loop to manipulate the beam and check if that condition was true. If it wasn't, then I'd end the loop and delete the laser.

Seeing as it is you probably don't understand this script very well, I can't explain it to you very well until you learn the rest of the terminology. I made this script so you could use it as an example or guide to put this idea into perspective.

Good Luck!
