I’m making a gun, but the only part of the script that doesn’t work is when you miss and it’s supposed to reload. It doesn’t print anything or give any errors. Here’s my code:
local ui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Missed/Hit").TextLabel
local bullets = 5
local reload = false
local config = script.Parent.Configuration
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if bullets > 1 then
if reload == false then
local part = mouse.Target
if part ~= nil then
local hum = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum then
if part.Name == "Head" then
hum.Health -= config.Headshot.Value
game.ReplicatedStorage.GunGUI:FireServer(part.Parent, true, 1, config.Headshot.Value)
print("HEADSHOT")
bullets -= 1
ui.Text = "Hit ".. part.Parent.Name .. "!"
elseif part.Name ~= "Head" then
hum.Health -= config.NormalShot.Value
game.ReplicatedStorage.GunGUI:FireServer(part.Parent, true, 1, config.NormalShot.Value)
print("Successful Shot")
bullets -= 1
ui.Text = "Hit ".. part.Parent.Name .. "!"
end
elseif not hum then
print("Missed")
ui.Text = "You missed!"
bullets -= 1
end
elseif part == nil then
print("Missed")
ui.Text = "You missed!"
bullets -= 1
end
elseif bullets == 1 then
if reload == false then
local part = mouse.Target
if part ~= nil then
local hum = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum then
if part.Name == "Head" then
hum.Health -= config.Headshot.Value
game.ReplicatedStorage.GunGUI:FireServer(part.Parent, true, 1, config.Headshot.Value)
print("HEADSHOT")
ui.Text = "Hit ".. part.Parent.Name .. "!"
reload = true
print("Reloading...")
wait(5)
reload = false
print("Done Reloading!")
bullets = 5
elseif part.Name ~= "Head" then
hum.Health -= config.NormalShot.Value
game.ReplicatedStorage.GunGUI:FireServer(part.Parent, true, 1, config.NormalShot.Value)
print("Successful Shot")
ui.Text = "Hit ".. part.Parent.Name .. "!"
reload = true
print("Reloading...")
wait(5)
reload = false
print("Done Reloading!")
bullets = 5
end
elseif not hum then --Script stops functioning here
print("Missed")
ui.Text = "You missed!"
reload = true
print("Reloading...")
wait(5)
reload = false
print("Done Reloading!")
bullets = 5
print(tostring(bullets))
end
elseif part == nil then
print("Missed")
ui.Text = "You missed!"
reload = true
print("Reloading...")
wait(5)
reload = false
print("Done Reloading!")
bullets = 5
end
end
end
end
end)
end)
Please help me fix this. Thanks for your help. 
You didn’t add any else statement to handle with the bullring is lower than 1.

That’s the point, the reloading should start when the bullet count is 1. It will add a debounce simulating 0 bullets reloading, then it will regain 5 more bullets. And I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to get a lower-than-1 bullet count with this code (unless your device is laggy and you have an autoclicker)
~= means not so
hum ~= nil
means hum is not nil, so it’s basically the
if hum then
Then can you try printing out what hum is when you finished all the bullets?
hum is an instance. Also, the gun script completely stops in the reloading part, even when I successfully hit the target.
Why don’t you just do the reloading logic when there is 0 bullets? You’re only limiting to 1 bullet.
The reloading part comes AFTER the damage so it seems like reloading automatically when it hits 0. But I guess ill try it.
Which of the print statements started working and which stopped printing?
Every print statement stops working inside the reload part of the code.
Just try this method, also are you really sure the variable part is not nil?
Both methods stop printing at the reloading part. Also, part is an Instance.
I’m editing my code myself and it’s a pain to run through all of that 97 lines of code to check the error. The whole gun doesn’t work because I added a pcall to check the error and I’m so confused about the ends. Can you please help?
