What is the problem with my gun firing script? (New problem found...)

Asked 380 views1 answers

local damage = 50
local auto = true
local mags = 8
tool = script.Parent
handle = tool.Handle
keys = {"q", "e"}
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local barral = tool.Barrel
local bullets = tool.rounds.Value
function shots()
	repeat
		wait (0.2)
	local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
	bullet.Name = "Bullet"
	bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(barral.CFrame)
	bullet.Velocity = Vector3.new(100, 0, 0)
	bullet.Size = Vector3.new(0.5, 0.5, 1.5)
    bullets = bullets -1
	bullet.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	local ALIEN = hit.Parent.FindFirstChild("alien")
	alien:TakeDamage(damage)
	end)
    if bullets == 0 then
	mags = mags -1
	wait (5)
    end
	until mags == 0
end


	
function onKeyDown(key)
	if key == "q"then
		cam.CameraSubject = tool.looksight
		cam.CameraType = custom
	elseif key == "e" then
		game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = "Custom"
	end
end
tool.Activated:connect(shots)

so i got help on that, but now, the output says: 14:19:33.240 - Players.Player1.Backpack.turret.LocalScript:16: bad argument #1 to 'new' (Vector3 expected, got userdata) 14:19:33.244 - Script 'Players.Player1.Backpack.turret.LocalScript', Line 16 14:19:33.247 - Stack End

--Line 25
bullet.Hit:connect(function(hit) end) --(No.)
bullet.Touched:connect(function(hit) end) --(Yes.)
-- BUT. You have a problem here, you're using a local variable that is INSIDE a function called shots()
--If you make a local variable and try to call it outside of the area you just created it, it won't do the job. just move the .Touched event function inside shots()
--And, Line 26
Brick.FindFirstChild --(No.)
Brick:FindFirstChild --(Yes.)

You can just use "Workspace" now, instead of game.Workspace. I suggest you to learn about WaitForChild.

Thank you, i usually catch the functions, im just trying to think of to many things at once, becuase im trying to make a huge update to my game, my friends skyping me, so those to things distract me easily right now... thank you.
