#1

I have a script where u shoot balls at noobs to get coins but right now as log as the noobs are in the maxrabge then they can get shot no matter how many ur shooting I there to be a max balls u can shoot at once here is my script

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local debounce = false

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local hrp = char.HumanoidRootPart

	if debounce == false then
		debounce = true
		for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace.Noobs:GetChildren()) do
			if v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				if v.Name == plr.Name then
					return 
				else
					local hrp = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
					local sphere = plr.PlayerScripts.Sphere1:Clone() or plr.PlayerScripts.Sphere2:Clone()
					local maxrange = 10
					if plr.PlayerScripts:FindFirstChild("Sphere2") then
						sphere = plr.PlayerScripts.Sphere2:Clone()
						maxrange = 15
					end
					if plr.PlayerScripts:FindFirstChild("Sphere3")then
						sphere = plr.PlayerScripts.Sphere3:Clone()
						maxrange = 25
					end
					sphere.Parent = game.Workspace.OutCastSpheres
					local distance = (hrp.Position - char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position).Magnitude
					if distance <= maxrange then


						local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
							0.6, --seconds to complete
							Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, --easing style
							Enum.EasingDirection.Out, --easing direction
							0, --repeat count
							false, --reverses?
							0 --delay before starting
						)

						local properties = {
							Position = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
						}

						wait()
						game.SoundService.Laser:Play()
						sphere.Position = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
						local tween = tweenService:Create(sphere, tweenInfo, properties)

						tween:Play()

						game.ReplicatedStorage.SphereShooter:FireServer(v,plr,sphere.Dmg.Value)
						game.Debris:AddItem(sphere,0.6)


						local tw = TweenInfo.new(
							0.6, --seconds to complete
							Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, --easing style
							Enum.EasingDirection.Out, --easing direction
							0, --repeat count
							false, --reverses?
							0 --delay before starting
						)

						local hitbox = game.ReplicatedStorage.HitBoxPart:Clone()
						hitbox.Parent = workspace
						hitbox.Position = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
						hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)

						local props = {
							Size = Vector3.new(10,10,10)
						}
						local tween2 = tweenService:Create(hitbox, tw, props)

						tween2:Play()
						game.Debris:AddItem(hitbox,0.6)

					else
						sphere:Destroy()
					end
				end
			end
		end
	else return end
	wait(0.5)
	debounce = false
end)

how would I add a system where they can only shoot 5 balls at a time?? im not sure how to implement that or how to do it at all

#2

Add an ammo system.

local ammo = 5

Then, when shooting:

if ammo >= 5 then
    ammo -= 1
    --shooting code goes here


    --put the following lines at the bottom of the subprogram
    task.wait(1)
    ammo += 1
end
#3

oooh I haven’t thought of that thanks ill try this

#4

This won’t work cuz it’ll only do make an ammo system I want it where the max balls u can shoot in one click is 5 in one click the 5 balls can go to 5 noobs instead of how many are in the max range

#5

What do you mean “in one click”? Do you mean like they can put their mouse button down and hold?
These might be helpful:

--set length iteration (for loop)
for i = 5, 0, -1 do
end

--IsMouseButtonPressed
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
uis:IsMouseButtonPressed(Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1) --returns a Boolean

--MouseEvents
local mouse = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(aSubprogramGoesHere)

I mean like they click once it shoots 5 balls to the 5 dummies in the 50 stud range but if there are 7 dummies in the 50 studs it’ll shoot all 7 I just want it to shoot 5 in the maxrange even if there are 7 in the max range ya know?

#7

An iteration is probably the way to go with this. You could even have an array of the dummies in the radius to shoot at.

local dummies = {}

for i = 0, 5, 1 do
    local dummy = dummies[i]
    --shoot a ball at the dummy
end

--maybe bind a function to RunService's RenderStep to update the array of dummies.
