I am making an assault rifle that needs the mouse being held down in order to fire automatic. I'm not sure what the enumeration for holding down the left mouse.
I am not familiar with any of this input stuff but I think I'm sure that holding down the mouse can be under UserInputService. I searched the wiki and I couldn't find what I needed.
Thank you for viewing this
With the UserInputService you can use InputBegan and InputEnded to keep track of automatic firing.
local firing = false
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameEvent)
if not gameEvent then
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
firing = true
end
end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameEvent)
if not gameEvent then
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
firing = false
end
end
end)
I don't think there is a way to know, but there is another way to do. We can check if the player is holding the mouse with tool.Activated and tool.Deactivated to a boolvalue:
local tool = script.Parent > the script's parent is the tool
local HodingMouse = script.Parent.HoldingMouse > you have to insert a boolvalue named "HoldingMouse" in the the tool so the script can detect automatically after the holdingmouse's value becomes true instead of doing a "while wait(.5)"
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
HoldingMouse.Value = true
end)
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
HoldingMouse.Value = false
end)
script.Parent.HoldingMouse.Changed:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.HoldingMouse.Value == true then
repeat
> FIRES THE GUN
wait(.5) > THE GUN HAS TO WAIT A BIT BEFORE RESHOOTING
until script.Parent.HoldingMouse.Value == false > STOPS THE GUN WHEN THE PLAYER STOPPED HOLDING
end
end)
I hope this helped!
It's not copy and paste if the answer given is actually suitable.
You wrote the SAME thing as the 2nd guy in the script.
There's no direct Enum for holding the mouse but there is a trick you can use to detect it.
Example
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local holdingMouse = fasle
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
holdingMouse = true
end
end)
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
holdingMouse = false
end
end)
