How to make a gun automatic instead of single fire?
I have the fire rate i just dont know how to make it so that it fire while a player holds down the fire button, making it shoot multiple bullets.
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local FireRate = 0.1
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Ammo = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Ammo")
tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
print("Tool equipped!")
holdanim = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.HoldAnim)
reloadanim = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.ReloadAnim)
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
if Ammo.Value >= 1 then
print("Mouse pressed!")
Ammo.Value = Ammo.Value - 1
print(Ammo.Value)
script.Parent.Handle.Fire:Play()
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("Gold")
beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
beam.Material = "Neon"
beam.Transparency = 0.99
beam.Anchored = true
beam.Locked = true
beam.CanCollide = false
local distance = (tool.Main.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, 0.1)
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(math.random(10,30))
end
end
end
end)
wait(FireRate)
end)
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local action_reload = false
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(Key)
if(Key:lower() == "r") and Ammo.Value < 7 and action_reload == false then
action_reload = true
script.Parent.Handle.Reload:Play()
reloadanim.Looped = false
reloadanim:Play()
wait(2)
Ammo.Value = 7
print(Ammo.Value)
action_reload = false
end
end)
function onEquipped()
holdanim:Play()
end
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(onEquipped())
mouse = Player:GetMouse()
action_aim = false
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
if action_aim == false and action_reload == false then
action_aim = true
print("trying to aim")
repeat wait()
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CFrame = script.Parent.AimPart.CFrame
print("aiming")
end
end)

One way to do it is by using Coroutines . I'm unsure if there's any "correct" way to do this but it's been what works for me. Basically a Coroutine can run loops without interrupting the rest of the script, so you can repeat what lines you need to while listening for when the player is done shooting as well. Here's a sort of skeleton model of what you could do.
local tool = script.Parent
player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
local mouseDown = false
local debounce = false
tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
local function fire()
local looper = coroutine.create(function() --Sets up coroutine function, won't run without being resumed.
while mouseDown == true and debounce == false do
debounce = true
--What to do when the player's mouse is down should go here
wait(.1) --How much time it takes between shots
debounce = false
end
end)
coroutine.resume(looper) --Whenever the 'fire' function is called the coroutine will resume
end
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
mouseDown = true
fire()
end)
mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
mouseDown = false
end)
tool.Unequipped:connect(function()
mouseDown = false
end)
end)
