Try this:

local Flashlight = script.Parent.Parent
local On = false
local Battery = 100

Flashlight.Equipped:Connect(function(LocalPlayer)
  local Mouse = LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
  Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    if On == false then
      if Battery > 0 then
        Flashlight.Spotlight.Enabled = true
        On = true
        repeat
          Battery -= 1
          wait(1) -- Change if you want
        until Battery == 0 or On == false
      end
    else
      On = false
      Flashlight.Spotlight.Enabled = false

): I have to test it tommorow

You can achieve this pretty easily with something called OOP (Object oriented programming)

local function Flashlight(battery)
	battery = battery or "0"
	return {
		battery = battery,

		drain = function(self)
			self.battery = self.battery - 1 
			return self.battery
		end
	}
end


local Flashlight = Flashlight(100)

for i = 1,100, 1 do
	wait(1)
	print(Flashlight:drain())
end

This should be what you are hoping for you may also add more elements to your flashlight under the “Flashlight” function!

Where do I put this script? In My GUI?

#15

Can U edit the code? If U already have, than this script doesn’t work.

Try this:
Create a NumberValue inside Handle and set it value to 100
Put your Gui inside Handle

local Flashlight = script.Parent.Parent
local Gui = script.Parent.FlashlightGui
local On = false
local Battery = script.Parent.Battery

Flashlight.Equipped:Connect(function(LocalPlayer)
  local Mouse = LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
  Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    if On == false then
      local FlashlightGui = Gui:Clone()
      Gui.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.PlayerGui
      if Battery.Value > 0 then
        Flashlight.Spotlight.Enabled = true
        On = true
        repeat
          Battery.Value -= 1
          wait(1) -- Change if you want
        until Battery.Value == 0 or On == false
      end
    else
      On = false
      Flashlight.Handle.Spotlight.Enabled = false
  end)
end)
