mouse.Button1Down not firing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m creating a leaf blower to blow leaf monsters apart, but the mouse events doesn’t seem to be firing. I’m using a script, not a localscript. I don’t see any errors about this in the developer log.

Can anyone tell me why?

repeat wait() until game:IsLoaded()
local mouse = script.Parent.Parent.Parent:GetMouse() -- Gets mouse from player
local a = false

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	a = true
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	a = false
end)

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function() -- Doesn't seem to be firing this function
	if a == true then
		script.Parent.wind.wind.Volume = 1
		script.Parent.killpart.Script.Disabled = false
		script.Parent.wind.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true
		script.Parent.wind.wind:Play()
	end
end)

mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
	if a == true then
		script.Parent.killpart.Script.Disabled = true
		script.Parent.wind.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = false

		for i = 1, 0, 0.1 do
			script.Parent.wind.wind.Volume = i
			wait(0)
		end
		script.Parent.wind.wind:Stop()
		script.Parent.wind.wind.Volume = 1
	end
end)

What’s the script’s parent’s parent’s parent?

#3

The scripts parent’s parent’s parent is the player.

What is button Up? The most likely scenario based on your situation is a somehow being false.

#5

The button up is the event when the player releases the left mouse button.

Is your script Server Sided or Client Sided?

GetMouse doesn’t support global scripts unfortunately. my solution would be putting the code in a local script and make remote events that would be fired by global scripts when you click.

The code would probably look like this:

-- local script
repeat wait() until game:IsLoaded()
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() -- Gets mouse from player
local a = false

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	a = true
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	a = false
end)

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function() -- Doesn't seem to be firing this function
	script.Parent.button1downevent:FireServer()
end)

mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.button1upevent:FireServer()
end)

-- global script
local a = true

script.Parent.button1downevent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	if a == true then
		script.Parent.wind.wind.Volume = 1
		script.Parent.killpart.Script.Disabled = false
		script.Parent.wind.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true
		script.Parent.wind.wind:Play()
	end
end)

script.Parent.button1upevent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	if a == true then
		script.Parent.killpart.Script.Disabled = true
		script.Parent.wind.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = false

		for i = 1, 0, 0.1 do
			script.Parent.wind.wind.Volume = i
			wait(0)
		end
		script.Parent.wind.wind:Stop()
		script.Parent.wind.wind.Volume = 1
	end
end)

what it would look like in tool: image

this probably isn’t the most inefficient way of doing it, but if it works, it works.

here:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player:GetMouse().Button1Down:Connect(function()
—Do stuff
end)

Also why do you handle your events within the tool itself? I do remote it in serverscriptservice

I didn’t notice you used :GetMouse sorry :neutral_face:
