How would I go about making this clicking system?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making a simulator and am trying to find a way to make it so when you click on the screen you get points instead of clicking a GUI or button. I have tried to use a gear for this but I am not sure how to make the gear invisible on the screen or if you even can. I’m not asking for a script I’m more asking for a way to go about doing this.

use UserInputService to detect mouse button clicks from the client

Alternatively you can use the “mouse” object which can be accessed for any client from a local script, you can use its features in conjunction with remote events to send mouse data to the server. Here’s an example:

--LOCAL SCRIPT--
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer or players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local re = storage:WaitForChild("ClickEvent")

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function() --event fires when mouse button is clicked
	re:FireServer()
end)

--SERVER SCRIPT--
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local re = storage:WaitForChild("ClickEvent")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local clicks = Instance.new("IntValue")
	clicks.Name = "Clicks"
	clicks.Value = 0
	clicks.Parent = leaderstats
end)

re.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	player.leaderstats.Clicks.Value += 1
end)

This is a simple clicking game which increases the leaderboard stat “Clicks” by 1 each time a mouse click occurs.
