You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
What do you want to achieve?
As the title of this thread says, I don’t know how to use the game Decaying Winter’s hold-click system to eat/consume items.
What is the issue?
The problem is that I tried to do it before and it was a bug. It’s like I pressed and held the click and set the timer to hold the click and let it delete the item I was holding for about 5 seconds. And then when I pressed and held it for less than 5 seconds, it deleted the item I was holding and disappeared.
What solutions have you tried so far?
I wanted to know if I did something wrong, so I created this thread to ask how to write it.
From what you explained your issue was is that you didn’t check if 5 seconds actually passed. You can measure time passed by creating a local variable with os.time or even tick.
local StartTime = os.time()
task.wait(5) -- This is an example
warn(os.time() - StartTime) -- This will output the number 5
You would then have to go into your script (the hold thingy)
if (os.time - StartTime) < 5 then
return false -- If our current time minus our last stated time is not greater than 5 second, stop the script
end
I tried it, but I don’t know if it’s right because I did it on the client side of a local script.
Local script in tool
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local hold = false
local startTime = os.time()
local duration = Tool:GetAttribute("Duration") -- I set to 5 second
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
if not equipped then
equipped = true
end
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
if equipped then
equipped = false
hold = false
end
end)
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, GPE)
if GPE then return end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and equipped then
hold = true
while hold == true do
if (os.time() - startTime) < duration then
Tool:Destroy()
return false
end
task.wait(duration)
warn(os.time() - startTime)
end
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, GPE)
if GPE then return end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and hold then
hold = false
end
end)
delete the while loop in the inputBegan event and do this:
local timer = 0
game.GetService("Run Service").Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
if not hold then
timer=0
return
end
if timer<5 and hold then
timer+=dt
elseif timer>=5 and hold then
Tool:Destroy()
end
end)
-- // Declared Services
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
-- // Private Variables
local Tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local hold = false
local startTime = nil;
local duration = Tool:GetAttribute("Duration")
-- // Functions
local function ToolEquipped()
equipped = true
end
local function ToolUnequipped()
if equipped then
equipped = false
startTime = nil;
end
end
local function InputBegan(input: InputObject, gPE: boolean)
if gPE then return end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and equipped then
startTime = os.time()
end
end
local function InputEnded(input: InputObject, gPE: boolean)
if gPE then return end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and equipped then
if startTime and (os.time() - startTime) >= duration then
warn("Deleting Tool")
Tool:Destroy()
end
end
end
-- // RBXConnections
Tool.Equipped:Connect(ToolEquipped)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(ToolUnequipped)
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(InputBegan)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(InputEnded)
Um, man, it seems to work, but it only deletes the held item when I release the left click. Is there a way to fix this? I want it to reach the duration I set and then it deletes the item.
-- // Declared Services
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local Tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local hold = false

-- // Functions

equipped = true
end
local function ToolUnequipped()
if equipped then
equipped = false
startTime = nil;
end
end
local function InputBegan(input: InputObject, gPE: boolean)
if gPE then return end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and equipped then
startTime = os.time()
task.delay(duration, function()
if (startTime - os.time()) >= duration then
Tool:Destroy()
end
end)
end

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(ToolUnequipped)
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(InputBegan)
In order to do that you need to use Tweening to tween the size of the Frame based on the the duration. Here is an idea you can use How to create a Slider. You won’t need to use all of it, but this can show you a style you can use. or you can look at this How to make GUI Skill Cooldown
