How do I make it so when I click to use a tool the script for a punch doesn't activate

[stiff cargo]

Im trying to make it so when I used a tool, the animation for the punch or the script itself doesn't turn on, cancelling the animation or usage for the tool itself

[sick hornet]

Try the tool.Unequipe:Connect()

[stiff cargo]

I tried it it didnt work

let me send the code

This is the line of code im trying to tweak

but im not sure how to

[sick hornet]

It's uh Unequipped:Connect()

Hmmm

[stiff cargo]

do you know where it should go in the code?

i tried an and statement but it didnt work

[sick hornet]

If your using a tool it should go at the end.

I will help you later im at work.

try this code:

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local ACTION_NAME = "Punch"

local function OnClick(ActionName, InputState, InputObject)
    if ActionName ~= ACTION_NAME then return end -- this line is actually useless
    if InputState ~= Enum.UserInputState.Begin then return end
    local Character = Player.Character
    if not Character then return end
    local Tool = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
    if Tool then return end
    print("MouseButton1 clicked with no tool equipped")
    -- your punch code goes here
end

ContextActionService:BindAction(ACTION_NAME, OnClick, false, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1)

[stiff cargo]

i tried it but it only prints the message

[ebon gate]

** You are now Level 1! **

[stiff cargo]

and whenever i try to punch it no longer works

the tool also no longer works

[weak gorge]

why did you put entire UIS.inputbegan inside

I think HS:Attack() is what you need to put there

[stiff cargo]

which piece of code should go inside?

oh i see

it works like a charm

however

the tool no longer works

[weak gorge]

oh, I didnt have enough expirience with tools to know that would happen
I edited the script. now it will work for you altho its definitely not the best solution:

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ACTION_NAME = "Punch"

local function OnClick(ActionName, InputState, InputObject)
    if ActionName ~= ACTION_NAME then return end -- this line is actually useless
    if InputState ~= Enum.UserInputState.Begin then return end
    local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
    local Character = Player.Character
    if not Character then return end
    local Tool = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
    if Tool then
        Tool:Activate() -- lol
        return
    end
    print("MouseButton1 clicked with no tool equipped")
    HS:Attack()
end

ContextActionService:BindAction(ACTION_NAME, OnClick, false, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1)

[stiff cargo]

It works perfectly

Thank you so much

I also got another question

I want to make a remote event in my module script

This is how it looks like

it shows the damage

the first paragraph of code is basically the basic damage for the punches

the second paragraph is for a different version (once the tool has been used)

So im trying to find out how to make my tool tell the module that it has been activated

so that the code can run through the second paragraph instead of the first if that makes sense

[weak gorge]

you can put a script into the tool and listen for for Tool.Activated event

[stiff cargo]

How shall i put that in?

this is the main part of the tool script

where it does the remote event

**local Tool = script.Parent
local Cooldown = false
local active = false
local CDTime = 80
local WalkSpeedBuff = 0
local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://7278163473"
sound.Parent = workspace

sound.TimePosition = 0.6

Tool.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
if Cooldown then return end

spawn(function()
active = true
Cooldown = true
wait(CDTime)
Cooldown = false 

end)**

Or should I put the script inside of the module

[stiff cargo]

hey do you know what I should do to send information to my module that a tool when clicked has been activated so it can activate a local variable I made called 'active'

[visual grove]

woah there pardner

okay so

1. send information to module
2. send information when tool is clicked/activated
3. change variable in module

question, is the module on client or server and is it the same context as the tool is.

[stiff cargo]

the module is inside a local script in starter pack

Like this

[visual grove]

what is requiring it

or like

combat is the localscript

and hitboxsettings is the module

right?

[stiff cargo]

So combat is what fires the event

it fires an event once the left mouse button is pressed

and the module basically puts the attacks together

since there are multiple hits that total up to 5

but im trying to find out how to amplify the damage script for a certain amount of time when the tool is pressed

the damage is also in the module here

the paragraph at the top is for when the tool isnt active

and the bottom is for when the tool is active

so everything works perfectly so far

but

when I use my tool, i want the local variable 'active' to become true

so the second paragraph is used instead of the first

until the time is over so it becomes false again

[visual grove]

okay

and this script is on the client i assume

also how long do you want it tobe active for

[stiff cargo]

i want it to be on for 60 seconds

so basically i alrady made a script for the tool so that it has a cooldown for 80 seconds after it has been active for 60 seconds

so initially its on for 60 seconds

then theres a 20 second cooldown until it can be used agian

[visual grove]

hmm alright

i would do something like

timeCanUse = os.time() + 60

and then you can do like

if os.time() > timeCanUse then
  -- can use
end 

[stiff cargo]

where should i put this

[visual grove]

u should decide that for urself

[stiff cargo]

I want to make the module able to receive the information that the tool has been clicked

[visual grove]

require(module).activated = true idk maybe? i haven't seen ur module

[stiff cargo]

the module script

[visual grove]

make it apart of the module

so HitboxSettings.active = false

instead of a local variable

then you can just edit it from wherever you need to

or just add it in .new

[stiff cargo]

So change it like this?

[visual grove]

is all this code yours? it seems a different quality from the other stuff u changed

[stiff cargo]

I got some from a youtube tutorial

But the other parts is me

thats why its kind of hard to navigate through this code with full knowledge
