How to make it so you cannot deactivate a tool

[Carl_Weezer13 (Carl_Weezer)]

Hopefully this should be an easy fix, but I was scrolling the devforum and none of the scenarios quite matched mine.

I have disabled the backpack and want to make it so when you press F, you equip a flashlight tool AND it turns on. I have been able to do so with ManualActivationOnly, but I can still click while the tool is equipped to deactivate it.

Is there a way i could make it so you cannot deactivate the tool by clicking, and instead by pressing F?

you can turn the tool.Enabled property to false

it would have been better to make a custom tool system in this case though

it wouldnt turn off if you click if you coded it to only work with key inputs…
just edit the script to use UserInputService instead of MouseClick or whatever the tool click function is

Thanks for the suggestion, I found the solution. I will mark your answer as the solution too bc it helped me solve the issue. For anyone interested, this is my script:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local On = false

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameprocessed)
	if gameprocessed then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F or input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL2 then
		if On == false then
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(script.Parent)
			script.Parent:Activate()
			script.Parent.Enabled = false
			On = true
		elseif On == true then
			script.Parent.Enabled = true
			script.Parent:Deactivate()
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
			On = false
		end
	end
end)

I may have a few unnecessary lines of code in there but oh well. Thanks for helping!
