How to make a full click with your MOUSE

You probably heard of the player’s mouse. It’s very simple to get, but it can only be accessed in a local script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

How do you want to check if a player clicks on their mouse? You’d want to do something like this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    print("clicked")
end)

You might’ve noticed that this function can only fire as soon as you click down. What about if you fully do a click, by going down then back up? Some people do want this, so let’s try to provide a solution to this problem.

—STEP 1—

Let’s begin by saving the mouse’s position as soon as you click down:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    local positionA = Vector2.new(mouse.X,mouse.Y)
end)

—STEP 2—

Next, let’s actually wait for the player to lift their mouse click back up, which usually has to signal a full click:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    local positionA = Vector2.new(mouse.X,mouse.Y)
    mouse.Button1Up:Wait()
end)

—STEP 3—

Now, let’s get the mouse’s position again, then compare those two to see if they are similar:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    local positionA = Vector2.new(mouse.X,mouse.Y)
    mouse.Button1Up:Wait()
    local positionB = Vector2.new(mouse.X,mouse.Y)
    if positionA ~= position B then return end
    print("full click detected")
end)

So now it gets the position when you lift your mouse up, and checks if position A and B are similar, which indicates a full click, if it does, the code continues, and if not, it’ll stop the script.

—CONCLUSION—

So now we did it. It was a pretty short tutorial but I just wanted to give a quick solution to anyone who does encounter this problem, so I hope this works out for you.

The only downside is that the script won’t treat it as a full click if you click and your mouse moves even one pixel.

I will be updating this, since I was on a rush, so stay tuned if you get notified about this.

So yeah, there you have it. Bye!

Remove the space between the n and B so it will work properly

#3

you could also do this :+1:

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
        print("clicked")
    end
end)

I would Recommend you use UserInputSerivce instead of :GetMouse() as it was superceded by UserInputService.

Also this tutorial doesnt really explain much, its just a very vague explanation not really telling the user what the code actually does or why we wrote it in the first place.

Btw, This wouldnt work since humans arent perfect and will move the mouse by a TINY bit no matter what. ur gonna need to check the magnitude

Right, especially on phone and tablet, it is impossible to touch and untouch in the exact same spot.

I said I was going to update this later. There’ll be much more explanation and tweaks. I don’t have the time to do it right now.
