Creating a recharging weapon

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve got a script which subtracts the “Charge” IntValue from a tool. I want it to wait atleast 4 seconds after the remoteEvent is fired and then add + 5 every second to the tools “Charge”.

How could I do this?

local ServerScriptService = game:GetService('ServerScriptService')
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local tool = script.Parent
local RemoteEvent = tool.FireFire
local spell = tool.Spell

local Charge = tool.Charge
--Charge is a int value
local toolDummy = game.ReplicatedStorage.EffectsFolder.FireballTrail:Clone()
local Explosion = game.ReplicatedStorage.EffectsFolder.FireballExplosion:Clone()

-- Avatar Fire Cast = 110825053619860

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local char = tool.Parent
	print("Character equipped:", char)
	local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

	if humanoid then
		local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
		if animator then
			local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
			animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://110825053619860"
			local animTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
			animTrack:Play()

			tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
				animTrack:Stop()
			end)
		end
	end
end)

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, SetPosition, HitPosition)
	local Sub = tool.Charge.Value - 20
	local projectile = require(ServerScriptService.Modules.ProjectileMod).new(0.05, workspace:GetDescendants(), Vector3.new(0,0,0), 3, true, toolDummy, Explosion)
	local Tween = TweenService:Create(tool.Charge, TweenInfo.new(0.8), {Value = Sub})
	Tween:Play()
	projectile:Cast(SetPosition, HitPosition, 6, plr)
end)

bumping this topic because I havent found an answer

#4

in the remoteevent script, just do a task.wait(4) then do a loop that adds 5 every second

while task.wait(1) do
    -- add 5
end

after that you can do whatever, this is just a sample script of how i would do it

I looked into it and instead used RunService, I’ll leave the full script here with the changes

local ServerScriptService = game:GetService('ServerScriptService')
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local tool = script.Parent
local RemoteEvent = tool.FireFire
local spell = tool.Spell

local Charge = tool.Charge
--Charge is a intValue

local toolDummy = game.ReplicatedStorage.EffectsFolder.FireballTrail:Clone()
local Explosion = game.ReplicatedStorage.EffectsFolder.FireballExplosion:Clone()

-- Avatar Fire Cast = 110825053619860

local lastFireTime = 0
local rechargeRate = 20 -- Change this value as per your recharge rate
local rechargeInterval = 4 -- 4 seconds

local activeTween = nil -- Store the active Tween

local function rechargeCharge()
	while true do
		RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
		if tick() - lastFireTime >= rechargeInterval then
			local newCharge = math.min(tool.Charge.Value + rechargeRate, 100) -- Ensure Charge does not exceed 100
			if activeTween then
				activeTween:Cancel() -- Cancel the active Tween if it exists
			end
			activeTween = TweenService:Create(tool.Charge, TweenInfo.new(12), {Value = newCharge})
			activeTween:Play()
			break -- Only recharge once after 4 seconds of inactivity
		end
	end
end

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local char = tool.Parent
	print("Character equipped:", char)
	local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

	if humanoid then
		local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
		if animator then
			local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
			animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://110825053619860"
			local animTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
			animTrack:Play()

			tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
				animTrack:Stop()
			end)
		end
	end
end)

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, SetPosition, HitPosition)
	if activeTween then
		activeTween:Cancel() -- Cancel the active Tween if it exists
	end

	local Sub = tool.Charge.Value - 20
	local projectile = require(ServerScriptService.Modules.ProjectileMod).new(0.05, workspace:GetDescendants(), Vector3.new(0,0,0), 3, true, toolDummy, Explosion)
	activeTween = TweenService:Create(tool.Charge, TweenInfo.new(0.8), {Value = Sub})
	activeTween:Play()
	projectile:Cast(SetPosition, HitPosition, 6, plr)
	lastFireTime = tick()
	rechargeCharge()
end)

I used a function with RunService.Heartbeat that checked if the time elapsed from when the remoteEvent was fired was greater than the Recharge Interval (4 seconds) and then went form there
