GetMouse:() Doesn't work with tools?
I'm having some trouble with this custom swordscript that I'm working on. It works in test servers/play solo, however not in an actual game. The game is filteringenabled, and the script is inside the tool. I need to be able to get the mouse because I have an option for RightClicking to do a RightSlash/Combo move. Here's the script:
tool = script.Parent function onEquip() char = tool.Parent player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char) wait(0.2) mouse = player:GetMouse() mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() leftslash(mouse) end) mouse.Button2Down:connect(function() rightslash(mouse) end) end tool.Equipped:connect(onEquip)

SO! The problem is NOT with the GetMouse function. However, there is a bit of an efficiency upgrade we can do by just getting the mouse from the equipped event:
tool = script.Parent
//Just get the mouse from the equipped event!
function onEquip(mouse)
wait(0.2)
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() leftslash(mouse) end)
mouse.Button2Down:connect(function() rightslash(mouse) end)
end
tool.Equipped:connect(onEquip)
Your original code should work fine as well, but this is a bit neater.
A few other things, make sure that you are invoking the RemoteFunction properly. That's what you have to do with FilteringEnabled games. So if the leftslash/rightslash functions are in this script here, it will NOT work. Make sure it looks like this:
local leftslash = game.Workspace.leftslash:InvokeServer(mouse)
where Workspace.leftslash is your RemoteFunction.
In your RemoteFunction, make sure you have a script like this:
//The player variable is the player that invoked the the function. It's automatically added.
function script.Parent.OnServerInvoke(player, mouse)
//Insert Code Here
end
oooorrrr maybe you already knew this.
At least, it isn't a problem with :GetMouse().
