How would i detect if someone is holding down the use button on a tool (Like mousebutton1), ive seen runservice and stuff but i was wondering if there was a way i could keep activated so it could be used on more than just pc

There’s Tool.Deactivated for starters, which should be what you’re looking for.

Alternatively, you could wait for this event.

Hopefully those links work, I’m not too used to the new documentation website.

You could try the InputBegan and InputEnded events with UserInputService.

Look into it, you’ll see it can be used for other stuff.

Aren’t you also trying to get Mouse inputs, though?

i was looking for a way to make a automatic gun, that works on all devices

I was jus saying i knew that you could use user input service with mouse to do it aswell

You can also use ContextActionService in that case.
