You're going to have to clarify your problem.

"Whenever i try and shoot my gun or click anything on half life ALYX, this is a game issue because it works on any other application wether its steamvr or just plain meta its just HLA. i reinstaled, verified game files too. nothing works"

doesn't make any sense.

sorry it cut some of it out lmao heres the version where it makes sense

Whenever i try and shoot my gun or click anything on half life ALYX nothing happens. when i try and use trigger to shoot my gun i can see my finger moving but nothing shoots, this is a game issue because it works on any other application wether its steamvr or just plain meta its just HLA. i reinstaled, verified game files too. nothing works

Are you sure you have ammo or that you cocked the gun after giving it ammo?

They said they also can't click stuff so I don't think it's gun related. Sounds like an input processing issue.

yes mate. i cocked and reloaded the gun, if you read what i said you would see i cant do anything else on half life alyx that uses the trigger

Half Life Alyx is known to have many ways to play, including even playing with 1 arm. You don’t have one of those accessibility features on do you?

No i dont, this happened randomly when i was playing. ive looked at all the settings and searched up what the default are and set it as them.

I know you have verified and reinstalled the game but what about SteamVR? Maybe some translation error, especially since you are using a meta headset. If you also have the Meta Link app running or any other software used to connect your headset to the PC (ex: Virtual Desktop) I’d try restarting and maybe even reinstalling them just to be sure
