I’ve spent about a few hours on this and still can’t get the idea on how to get it to work. And it seems like a fairly easy question to answer until you get to a problematic part.
I’m trying to make a script that detects how many times a player clicks per second on a gui button and then display it to them. For example if they click 6 times per second it shows they clicked 6 times and if they clicked 4 times in a second then it shows them, but here’s where the problem starts. If they click 10 times but a second had already passed when they clicked 8 times. How would I make it so that it displays they clicked 8 times instead of 10 times?
So in summary how do I make it so that players see how many times they clicked during the passed second?
Here’s what I came up with
local ClickerInput = script.Parent.ClickerInput
local clicked = 0
local function start()
local clock = os.clock()
while true do
print(clicked)
if os.clock() - clock >= 1 then
clock = os.clock()
print("A second has passed!")
clicked = 0
end
wait(0.1)
end
end
ClickerInput.inputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
clicked = clicked + 1
end
end)
local wrap = coroutine.wrap(start)
wrap()
--[[

This is an example of a quick clicking speed test. The code is similar to yours and GUIs are organized this way:
Clicks label and ClickerInput text button don’t have any properties changed while game is running, as opposed to DisplayClicks, which displays number of clicks in a second, and DebounceGui, which only shows up for a short time as a cooldown notification.
local clicks = 0
local validClicks = true
local debounce = false
local debounceGui = script.Parent.Parent.DebounceGui
local displayClicks = script.Parent.Parent.DisplayClicks
local function ResetGuis()
validClicks = true
debounce = true
displayClicks.Text = clicks .. " cps!"
debounceGui.Text = "Debounce"; wait(2)
debounceGui.Text = ""
clicks = 0
debounce = false
end
local function StartTimer()
local clockStart = os.clock()
repeat
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait()
until os.clock() - clockStart >= 1
validClicks = false
ResetGuis()
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if (not debounce) then
if (clicks == 0) then
local Wrap = coroutine.wrap(StartTimer); Wrap()
displayClicks.Text = "0"
end
if (validClicks) then
clicks += 1
displayClicks.Text = tostring(clicks)
end
end
end)
EDIT
@Varsitelle I was working in studio when I found saved click speed test file that I’ve created yesterday. “Why on Earth didn’t I simply publish and Uncopylock it?” Anyways, here you go:
