I am trying to make an anti-autoclick but i'm confused on how to use tick()?

Asked 2,310 views2 answers

I have a game and when you click a button it gives you money but I don't want people to anuse it with autoclicker. I have tried many different things but this is the main one:

	bitbtn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		local anticlick = tick()
		if tick() - anticlick < 0.3 then
			print("Clicked: "..tick() - anticlick)
		elseif tick() - anticlick > 0.3 then
			print(tick() - anticlick)
			playerData.Bitcoins.Value = playerData.Bitcoins.Value + 5
			updateData()
		end
	end)

It just comes up with something along the lines of: Clicked: 1.6689300537109e-06 no matter how fast it is clicked ( I tested an auto clicker ) and i'm out of ideas so if someone could help me fix this or has a different method please answer or comment.

You would check how quick they click. I would say humans can't click every millisecond. So, we could do this.

local last = 0
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if tick() - last <= 0.001 then --if the last click was less or equal to 1 millisecond
		print('Turn off your autoclicker!')
	else
		print('You clicked it! Yay!')
	end
	last = tick()
end)

So, what does this do? last is the seconds since the last click. tick provides the number of seconds and milliseconds from a date, not really important what that date is.

You also probably learned to use subtraction to see how many more a value is than another, so that is what I did.

Hope this helps!

i never really used tick() but i would do this.

clicked = false
bitbtn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   if clicked == false then
	clicked = true
	
	  playerData.Bitcoins.Value = playerData.Bitcoins.Value + 5
       updateData()
	wait(1)
	clicked = false
end
      
    
end)

this i basicly made it where on clicked then i would change the bool value to true and it cant be activated again until the bool value is false again. if that kind of makes since
