Tree Cutting Script Question?
Hello! I am currently fairly new to scripting and need some help with a game I'm trying to develop. I've created a script to cut down trees with a certain tool but it's a Touched function, so even if the ace touches the tree without the player clicking with the axe to play the swing animation they still deal damage to the tree. I have the tree set to a numbervalue(health) of 100 and the Touched script makes it decrease by 10 everytime it touches the tree, but the problem is that even if the axe the player is holding touches the tree it still deals damage. Is there any other easier way to make it so that the player only deals damage if they click with the axe?

Sure, also I made a game like this, which is this makes it easier for me to help you. You can used the activated event to set a variable to true if the player is clicking while equipping the tool. Example:
local axe = script.Parent--tool
local blade = axe:WaitForChild("Blade")
local swingingAnimation = (animation_Path)
local swinging = false
local function activated()
swinging = true
delay(.3,function()--turns swinging to false just so they can't glitch damage
swinging = false
end)
local humanoid = axe.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
--play animation
end
end
axe.Activated:Connect(activated);
blade.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if swinging then
swinging = false
--tree damage
end
end)
This script basically says if the player is swinging, and the blade is touched then it will turn swinging into false, and then it will procceed to do the tree damage script.
