Any way to get the event of the mouse button being held down?
I'd like to know if there's an event for TextButtons/ImageButtons that fire when the left mouse button is held down, as in you hold it down for a couple of seconds. I know MouseButton1Down, but that's not suiting for what I'm trying to do. What I'm trying to do is while the left mouse button is held down, a dummy model is rotated. The current script only fires when the mouse is clicked and not held down.
local dummy = workspace.Dummy
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
dummy:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(dummy.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0,math.rad(3),0))
end)

Not sure if there's any easier way to do it, but all I've found was using UserInputService
local inputService = game:GetService("UserInptuService")
local mouseDown = false
inputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input))
if(input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1) then
mouseDown = true
while mouseDown == true do
-- your code
end
end
end)
inputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if(iinput.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1) then
mouseDown = false
end
end
Explained:
if(input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1) then
Checks if the key pressed is the mouse's right button
mouseDown = true
while mouseDown == true do
-- your code
end
changes the "mouseDown" variable's value to true, and lets your things happen while it's down/being held
inputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if(iinput.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1) then
mouseDown = false
end
end
Detects when the mouse button is no longer being held, and when it does, changes the variable's value, stopping the loop
Let me know if you need any extra help!
While UserInputService is good to know, this might be an easier way to understand.
m1down = false
function doThing()
while m1down do
--Thing
wait()
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() m1down = true doThing() end)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function() m1down = false end)
