In-game Autoclicker Problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’ve made an auto clicker for my game and it works fine until I start clicking myself.

To explain this video, when I turn on my autoclicker, the stats go up just fine but when I click while it’s activated, for some reason, the value of “Heads” goes down to however many times I clicked. Can anyone tell me whats wrong with this?

Autoclicker Script - Local Script inside a ScreenGui

local activated = false

btn.Activated:Connect(function()
	if activated == false then
		activated = true
		print("Activated")
		repeat wait(0.5)
			heads.Value = heads.Value + 1*headMultiplier.Value
		until heads.Value == inventory.Value or activated == false
	else
		activated = false
	end
end)

Click Script - Inside ServerScriptService activated by Remote Event

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	h.Value += 1*m.Value -- h is the head value and m is just a multiplier
end)

Is heads a value on the server or on the client? When you updated the heads value inside the local script, you are updating the heads value on the local side, not the server. When you click yourself, you fired the event to the server, which updated the heads value on the server. Server values auto replicates to the client, so that’s why the value of “heads” went down to how many times you clicked.

you can fix it by making the auto clicker update on the server. Just fire the event from the autoclicker and the value should be consistent.

Quick question. How can I send to the server that the button has been deactivated.

local activated = false

btn.Activated:Connect(function()
	if activated == false then
		activated = true
		event:FireServer()
	else
		activated = false
	end
end)

This is my current local script and I wanted to send the activated = false to the serverscript so it would stop the autoclicker

you can add the activated variable as an argument for the event:FireServer.

local activated = false

btn.Activated:Connect(function()
	if activated == false then
		activated = true
		event:FireServer(activated)
	else
		activated = false
	end
end)

and on the server side:

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,activated)
    if activated then
        -- activated
    else
	    -- not activated
    end
end)

Ok so there is a problem

clickerEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, activated)
					if activated then
						repeat wait(0.5)
							heads.Value = heads.Value + 1*headMultiplier.Value
							if heads.Value == inventory.Value then
								heads.Value = heads.Value + 0*headMultiplier.Value
							end
						until activated == false
					end
					
				end)

This is my current script but when I click the button again to deactivate it, it keeps going.

It doesn’t work like that. The “activated” variable passed in is a local variable of the event function.


local activated = false
clickerEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, action)
	if action == true then -- autoclicker activated
         activated = true
         while activated and heads.Value < inventory.Value do
              heads.Value += headMultiplier.Value
              wait(0.5)
         end
    else -- autoclicker deactivated
         activated = false
    end
end)

if you want your own clicks to also work, I suggest making a separate event to track your own mouse clicks.
