How would I make a tool do something while the mouse button is down, currently I am using the “Activated” function for tools meaning I have to keep clicking so how could I make it so I can just hold down and something happens until the button is lifted.

Thank you if you help, kind regards.

Hello, Zonix_Official!

You can have a variable for holding down and use a while loop to keep triggering the function!

this should do what you’re looking for.

local mouse = player:GetMouse
local doing = false

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
doing = true
while doing do
--code here
end
end)

mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
doing = false
end)

or you can do this:

local doing = false

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
doing = true
while doing do
--code here
end
end)

script.Parent.Deactivated:Connect(function()
doing = false
end)
