Hey! In short whenever I click a ClickDetector I want to make a Lightning happen there. However it doesn’t want to activate for some reason if I’m using it with a ClickDetector. I put it in a normal script and it ran perfectly fine there. I have no idea what’s the problem here so help would be appreciated!
local Model = script.Parent
local ClickDetector = Model.ClickDetector
local Click = function()
local Module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.LightningModule)
for i = 1,100,1 do
wait()
Module.Bolt(game.Workspace.Start.Position,script.Parent.Top.Position,12,3,.3)
end
end
ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(Click)
I guess there is something wrong with the ModuleScript. If there had been any errors I would’ve already said them. I’ll paste the ModuleScript as well. I can’t really see anything wrong with it.
local Lightning = {}
local TweenS = game:GetService("TweenService")
function drawLightning(p1,p2,parent,size)
local part = Instance.new("Part",parent)
part.Anchored = true
part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Deep orange")
local dist = (p2 - p1).Magnitude
part.Size = Vector3.new(size,size,dist)
part.CFrame = CFrame.new(p1,p2) * CFrame.new(0,0,-dist/2)
TweenS:Create(part,TweenInfo.new(.15),{Size = Vector3.new(0,0,dist)}):Play()
delay(.2,function()
part:Destroy()
end)
end
Lightning.Bolt = function(p1,p2,NumOfPoints,offset,size)
local Points = {}
for i = 0, NumOfPoints do
local Offset = Vector3.new(math.random(-offset,offset),0,math.random(-offset,offset))
if i == 0 or i == NumOfPoints then
Offset = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
end
local part = Instance.new("Part",workspace.Camera)
part.Anchored = true
part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Deep orange")
part.Size = Vector3.new(.5,.5,.5)
part.Transparency = 1
part.Position = p1 + (p2 - p1).Unit * i * (p2 - p1).Magnitude/NumOfPoints + Offset
table.insert(Points,part.Position)
end
for i, p in pairs(Points) do
if Points[i+1] ~= nil then
drawLightning(Points[i],Points[i+1],workspace.Camera,size)
end
end
end
return Lightning
You can Mouse.Target which returns the part which the mouse is touching, or nil if the mouse is pointed towards the skybox. Using that, you can make a system with the help of an local script, server script and a remote event. Something like this:
Inside of the Local script you can write something like this:
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local func = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClickedWithTarget
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
func:InvokeServer(mouse.Target)
end)
and for the service script:
local whatToCheckOnClicked = workspace.CLICKME -- the part to check if clicked
game.ReplicatedStorage.ClickedWithTarget.OnServerInvoke = function(player, param)
if (param ~= nil) and (param == whatToCheckOnClicked) then
-- param holds the clicked part
-- do something
end
end
You can also use the remote event later if you want to check if the player clicked.
Hope this helps! Ask me if i have to explain anything.
No problem!
Just realized that the local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") is not needed. There might be some simpler way of doing this, but for some reason a lot of things you can do in only specific situations.
