It won't be called if there is no object (an atom) under the mouse pointer.

If it still won't work when there is an object, there might be another MouseDown proc that overrides your code.

First, make sure that the atom is opaque to the mouse. See mouse_opacity

Then, click the atom on your map.

If your code is still now working, it is most likely because of another MouseDown proc. Press Ctrl+F, select "All files" then look for MouseDown.

found the causem i put in usr.MouseDown in a while loop thinking as long as usr has the mouse down it will do its thing, and that did not work xD just crapped out the whole code

You may do that like this:
client
    var/tmp/mouse_down_time = 0

    MouseDown()
        ..()
        var/time = world.time
        mouse_down_time = time
        while(mouse_down_time == time)
            // stuff
            sleep(delay)

    MouseUp()
        ..()
        mouse_down_time = 0
