I need help with making this automatic gun less buggy(what I mean by buggy is it may fire faster for a second then back to normal).
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
mouseDown = true
if auto then
while mouseDown do
wait()
if cooldown == false then
cooldown = true
fire()
wait(fireRate)
cooldown = false
end
end
else
if cooldown == false then
fire()
cooldown = true
wait(fireRate)
cooldown = false
end
end
end)
Thanks!
It feels buggy because you have a wait() before anything happens when you click, thus there is an unnecessary delay between clicking and the fire() function getting called. To make the gun feel more responsive this wait() should be placed after the if statement has happened.
while mouseDown do
if cooldown == false then
cooldown = true
fire()
wait(fireRate)
cooldown = false
end
wait()
end
Now, more importantly, you definitely should be using RunService.Heartbeat:Wait() (https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/RunService) because wait() is only able to delay the script 1/30th of a second while using what I put above allows you to have a delay of half that.
If the script you provided isn't a localscript, it needs to be to use the renderstepped wait. There is no way to keep the script a non-local and have a smaller delay.

It's not firing slower.. It's firing faster, or it shoots 2 at once...
Good Guy Here Take Up-vote and Gold ^_^ ????
emoji didnt send idk y
Thanks, I didn't know that RunService existed and I'm grateful you showed it to me. I also fixed the buggyness by making it a repeat until loop.
oh nice, I apologize for a late response
