How can I make a hold to shoot system?

[KracKenVR (KRAKEN)]

Yo,

I was wondering how could I make a hold to shoot system. So it shoots the gun as long as you are holding the click button.

Can anyone help?

Is this for mobile or PC?

Hold-Click Tools

Hi there! Hope your having a great day! I’m currently making a simulator and would like some help. Currently the system I have makes it so you have to repeatedly click to gain “points”. How would I make it so that it would be like mining sim’s tools where you hold down the mouse? I’m just looking for ways I can do so. My current client code which is in the tool itself local equipped = false local tool = script.Parent local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local mouse = plr:GetMouse() tool.Equip…

Making it so when the player holds down a key, it will charge up a move and then when they release it the move will fire

Hi! I am trying to make it so that the player can hold down a key for however long they want, and then when they release the key, the move will fire. At the moment I have been trying to adapt a piece of code from a tutorial I found, as I am still learning scripting. The move, at the moment, will fire when the player simply taps the key. This is my code at the moment: -- UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input) if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and Debounce == true and Tool.Equip.Value == true …

You can use UIS ( User Input Service ) to check if a player is holding down a key, and then make it process something.

[BobbieTrooper (Jesse)]

Use UserInputService 's InputBegan and InputEnded events and set a boolean variable to either true or false.
In addition, you can use ContexActionService .

local Tool = script.Parent

local Toggle

local function OnActivated()
	Toggle = false
	while true do
		if Toggle then break end
		print("Hello world!")
		task.wait(1) --Gun's fire delay.
	end
end

local function OnDeactivated()
	Toggle = true
end

Tool.Activated:Connect(OnActivated)
Tool.Deactivated:Connect(OnDeactivated)

You can utilize a tool’s activated & deactivated events to achieve this.

@Forummer

	while true do
		if Toggle then break end
		print("Hello world!")
		task.wait(1) --Gun's fire delay.
	end

Remember to only use loops in localscripts as serversided scripts can cause slight performance issues

[clearifies]

you can do like

local firing = false

while (firing) do
   -- put your shooting code here
end

[Forummer]

This just isn’t true, a for/while/repeat construct is far more performant than a RemoteEvent/RemoteFunction.

Ah sorry for the misleading. Someone told me that and I just assumed it was true because of the nature of loops

I managed to make it work on PC but when I use the same gun on mobile I have to continuously tap instead of just tap and hold.
