                    -- this is for sword image and the CLicks +
                    SwordTool:FireServer() -- make this fire a different event
                    game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Clicks").Value = plr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats").Clicks.Value + 1 -- adding one every time

@bold hemlock

@bold hemlock can u help me pls

@woeful zealot

[woeful zealot]

Hm?

** You are now Level 6! **

[woeful zealot]

Try using debounce

local debounce = false

Then when it activates set it to true

So it can't activate again

[quasi river]

i have a db

[vale nimbus]

if hit == "Training Log" then this will never happen because you can't hit a string

it should rather be hit.Name

[woeful zealot]

Oh ye

[quasi river]

oh yeah ur right

I fixed the hit thingy

[vale nimbus]

hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit) but I think you can't have a :Connect(function()) inside a function

[quasi river]

u can't >

?

so how would I detected if the sword was activated ?

add a like a sword = false and if it's activated = true

then do the script outside of it ?

u might have solved my problem

lemme go see this

[vale nimbus]

Wait I need to think ab this XD

is the hitbox around the sword?

[quasi river]

yh

wait when u said u can't have a function inside a function do u mean it work work

wont work*

or it's not ideal

[vale nimbus]

I'm not 100% sure but I think it can't

[woeful zealot]

Where is the script located at?

[vale nimbus]

because it has to be touched while it's being activated or something

you could make a separate function that fires when the hitbox is touched

only doing damage

and another function that runs when the tool is activated to do the animation

[quasi river]

yeah that's what im doing rn

ima see if it works

[quasi river]

in the hitbox

I THINK U FIXED IT

[vale nimbus]

(:

[quasi river]

lemme see this again

gimmie a sec

[woeful zealot]

Hey bram

[vale nimbus]

?

[woeful zealot]

Are you good with vectors and math?

[vale nimbus]

I mean... for what?

[woeful zealot]

Hm

Here can I show you?

[vale nimbus]

uh ok (:

[quasi river]

can you have to functions that listening to the same event ?

[vale nimbus]

[quasi river]
