There's a question thread for questions just like this: [URL]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1446371[/URL] Either way, it seems to have a function called [URL="http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/cs1300/doc/bgi/getmouseclick.html"]getmouseclick[/URL]. Try that.

[quote] After calling getmouseclick, for a particular kind of event, the ismouseclick will return false for that kind of event until another such event occurs. [/quote] So only do a getmouseclick if ismouseclick returns true

[QUOTE=Karmah;50027375]Or what he said, by using "ismouseclick" which returns a boolean[/QUOTE] Okay. I tried that with the correct mode for only the left mouse button. it works but it stays true forever, meaning that the thing i wanted to trigger with it will continioue to happen even after the player released the button. What to do now?

It wasnt very clear. There werent referring to ismouseclick not even once. Maybe i was reading the wrong doc.

That's what I meant with reading comprehension.
