trying to make a automatic gun with Button1Down but for some reason button1 is always down?
so i am trying to make a automatic gun (never tryed making a automatic gun before) but when i try to make it where while Button1Down it shoots every 0.1 seconds it just shoots it constantly idk if im doing it wrong or i need to use another method if so then could you please point me in the right direction? here is my script
player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent -- the player
function fire(v)
local bullet = game.ReplicatedStorage.bullet:Clone() -- clones a bullet from replicated storage
bullet.Parent = workspace
bullet.Velocity = v*1000
bullet.Position = script.Parent.barrel.Position
local force = Instance.new("BodyForce") -- makes new body force and puts in inside the bullet this way i can make the bullet drop
force.force = Vector3.new(0,-5,0)
force.Parent = bullet
end
------------- this is where im failing at
shooting = false
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
shooting = false
end)
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
if mouse.Button1Down then
print("down")
shooting = true
else
print("up")
shooting = false
end
if shooting == true then
local character = player.Character
local targetpos = character.Humanoid.TargetPoint
local lookat = (targetpos - character.Head.Position).unit
fire(lookat)
wait(0.1)
print("fired")
end
end)

You want to do it like this:
player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent -- the player
function fire(v)
local bullet = game.ReplicatedStorage.bullet:Clone() -- clones a bullet from replicated storage
bullet.Parent = workspace
bullet.Velocity = v*1000
bullet.Position = script.Parent.barrel.Position
local force = Instance.new("BodyForce") -- makes new body force and puts in inside the bullet this way i can make the bullet drop
force.force = Vector3.new(0,-5,0)
force.Parent = bullet
end
------------- this is where im failing at
shooting = false
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
shooting = false
end)
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
print("down")
local character = player.Character
local targetpos = character.Humanoid.TargetPoint
local lookat = (targetpos - character.Head.Position).unit
fire(lookat)
wait(0.1)
print("fired")
end)
mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
print("up")
end)
end)
Mouse.Button1Down and Mouse.Button1Up are events like Tool.Equipped is.

Use .Activated, it only fires when the player clicks with tool equipped. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y
