Shooting system problem

[drassiles]

Hello! I’m trying to make a shooting system. I added mobile support, but with UserInputType Touch, when I rotate the camera, it shoots. I don’t want complex systems, just a simple game.

My code is:

(...)

local function shoot()
	(...)
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 or input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch and not gameProcessedEvent and equipped and tool.Enabled then
		shoot()
	end
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	mouse.Icon = offIcon
	equipped = false
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	mouse.Icon = onIcon
	equipped = true
end)

You might want to use the .TouchedTap event of userInputService

UserInputService.TouchTap:Connect(function(touchPositions, GPE)

       -- Do shoot()

end)

thanks! but when I try to walk and shoot it shoots where I’m dragging

Idea: Listen for when the user begins touch and ends touch. Only shoot if they let go quickly, maybe 0.4s

Theres also another variation, its functionality is similar. Personally I’ve found it a bit inaccurate, but it’s worth a try:

UserInputService.TouchTapInWorld:Connect(function(position, processedByUi)
    -- Do here shoot(), ignore if processed by UI
end)

“thanks! but when I try to walk and shoot it shoots where I’m dragging” same problem
