i was in the middle of wworking on a combat system i wanted too test if my mouse button down was working right so i put in a print statement but nothing was in the output there were no errors, can someone help? ```lua
local animationIsPlaying = false
local anims = {script:WaitForChild(“Punch1”), script:WaitForChild(“Punch2”), script:WaitForChild(“Punch3”), script:WaitForChild(“Punch4”), script:WaitForChild(“Punch5”) }

local char = script.Parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild(“humanoid”)

local remote = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)

local loadanimation
local currentanimation

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()

print("hi")

end)

Could you try changing the player line to the first line?

For those who can’t read it well, this is the script.

local animationIsPlaying = false
local anims = {script:WaitForChild(“Punch1”), script:WaitForChild(“Punch2”), script:WaitForChild(“Punch3”), script:WaitForChild(“Punch4”), script:WaitForChild(“Punch5”) }

local char = script.Parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild(“humanoid”)

local remote = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)

local loadanimation
local currentanimation

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()

print("hi")
end)

it does not matter where it is its out of the scope everything can access it put it too the top just incase but still no detection

local hum = char:WaitForChild(“humanoid”)
i think the humanoid should change to Humanoid

Well, to me it seems like you have not identified the;

local loadanimation,
local currentanimation

7

those are nil for a reason, those values will help direct the script if the animation is loaded and what the current anim is. also the problem is withn the mouse statement

8

the mouse is where the problem is, and thank you i will change that.

Try;

Mouse.MouseButton1Down
10

that causes a error sence the statement"button1down" is a function and needs that in order too work it may be a bug with studio

Ok, I used the one you have in your script and it works fine for me… Must be a bug or its just the invalid locals
