My script cannot identify the amount of clone, what should I do?

Asked 197 views1 answers

I made a tool that when you equip it, a shadow copy of it will appear, according to the mouse position.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local object = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tool.FirePit
event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local invisible = object:Clone()
	invisible.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera
	invisible.CFrame = mouse.Hit
	invisible.UsePartColor = true
	invisible.CanCollide = false
	while true do
		wait(.01)
		invisible.CFrame = mouse.Hit
		mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
			invisible:Destroy()
			event:FireServer(mouse.Hit,object)
			
		end)
	end
		
end)

event:

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,hit,object)
	local clone = object:Clone()
	clone.Parent = workspace
	clone.CFrame = hit
	clone.Fire.Enabled = true
	clone.Transparency = 0
end)

It spawn up to thousands firepit, what should I do?

Problem is that you're doing:

while true do
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()

end)
end

Doing that will constantly create a ton of Button1Down Events. Then when you Left Click. It runs all the Button1Down Events that it created. You should use a Mouse.Move Event outside of Tool.Equipped Event instead of using a while loop. Also, don't use Mouse.Button1Down when the script is inside of a tool. Just use Tool.Activated.

The script layout should, in some way, look like this:

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	-- tool equipped
end)
mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	-- tool isEquipped Checks
	-- FirePit CFrame Updates
end)
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	-- "tool Activated" aka "Left Clicked with Tool Equipped"
end)
