How could someone count for how long the tool was activated?
Hello, so I am trying to make something in a tool that tells you for how long the left mouse button was pressed. The only idea I could come up with was to make a loop that activates on the Mouse.Button1Down event and counts in 0.1 seconds. Then I would break that loop and just use the information that I got in the Mouse.Button1Up part. However I can't break the loop. So, any better ways of doing this or just a way to break the loop when the left button goes up?

You could make a variable which is false by default, if mouse down variable goes true. Then you could use a loop which checks if the variable is true or false. If variable is true, count ticks. if it's false, stop loop. xXTouchOfFrostXx 125 — 5y

What does that while wait() loop do? Is it necessary? SRdeagle 7 — 5y

01 | local timer = 0 |
02 | local on = false |
03 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() |
04 | on = true |
05 | end) |
06 |
07 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function() |
08 | on = false |
09 | end) |

11 | while on do--works while on is true |
12 | wait(0.1)--waits the amount of time |
13 | timer = timer + 0.1--adds on the wait value onto the timer |
14 | end |

If you are going to just paste my code and add something give dome sort of credit. karlo_tr10 1233 — 5y

He asked about way to do it he didn't request the whole script karlo_tr10 1233 — 5y

Also this code wouldn't work as on value won't update if it loop is not inside the other loop karlo_tr10 1233 — 5y
