How can I make a bomb be lit and be thrown?

Hello there.

I’m creating a bomb for a PVP game and I’ve been confused where to start on lighting the bomb. I’m trying to make it so that when you first use the item, you’ll lit the bomb which will go on a countdown before exploding, dealing heavy damage to yourself and others around you unless you clicked twice where you’ll throw the bomb at your direction.

How can I make it so the bomb can explode if you haven’t thrown it yet?

You could make so the player lits the bomb when clicking once, and throw it when clicking a second time. If the player fails to click the second time, it blows up on them.

How can I do that? I honestly don’t know how to since I’m still a fairly new scripter. Should I use tick()?

You could use a “for i = 1” loop" that triggers upon litting it, if the loop ends, the bomb will explode.

But in order for the bomb to be thrown, I’d have to clone it and I’m considering to use the actual bomb model to lit it up (The TickBomb function requires a basepart to work)

Why would you ever do it this way? You could just use wait or RenderStepped if you want it smooth.
