Sorry for not telling but what im trying to also achieve is like. The Script to be disabled until i click again. how would i do that?

Do you want the function to run if the player clicks with the tool equipped, or if they touch another player?

#5

If the player clicks when the tool is equipped.

Btw im trying to achieve that because when i click. the script does damage. but waits 3 seconds and it does damage with no clicking.
