A disable blur button isn't working

Hello! I am trying to make a script that turns a blur effect off. (It is stored in lighting) Please debug this script. The script is meant to turn blur on and off when a text button is clicked. (I’m a beginner scripter.)
Thank you for your time!

Script:

     script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
end)

game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled = false
script.Parent.Text = ("Blur - Off")

else


game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled = true
script.Parent.Text = ("Blur - On")

Any errors in the output? And I need to see your Lighting tab, also you code is not even in the event.

#4

check if the script is local or not
it should be local

#5

Try this code.
Should look like this:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

if script.Parent.Text = "Blur - On" then
game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled = false
script.Parent.Text = "Blur - Off"

else


game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled = true
script.Parent.Text = "Blur = On"
end
end)
#6

The code wouldn’t even run, it would just error then stop.

if the script is a server one(Script) then it would only affect how the server camera sees the things around, but not how the client sees it. If it is a client one(LocalScript) then it would affect how the local player sees but not other players or server. I think that’s what you’re aiming for.

and yes change the code as @seancool07777 suggested his point is also good

I’ve never heard of a “server camera” but what I think you meant is if the server handles it it will affect all players.

Your code:

     script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
end) -- Needs to be at the bottom of the function
-- Needs to be an if statement, you can't use else without one.
game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled = false
script.Parent.Text = ("Blur - Off")

else


game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled = true
script.Parent.Text = ("Blur - On")

Working code:

     script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

if game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled == true then
game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled = false
script.Parent.Text = ("Blur - Off")

else


game.Lighting.Blur.Enabled = true
script.Parent.Text = ("Blur - On")
end)

In regards to other questions, if this is in a localscript, it will only change the blur for the client.

the server camera is only visible on roblox studio in test mode it appears when you change from client to server side

#12

That wouldn’t work either it will just error because there is no actual if statement.
@seancool07777 already provided a working code snippet.

well your working code has an else but no if, how would that work?

#14

Fixed it, sorry about that. 30char

#15

@seancool07777’s script wouldn’t work more than once, as it’s checking if the text is Blur - On, but below, it is Blur = On.

#16

You don’t need any if statements, this is the shortened (and more readable) code:

local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
local blur = Lighting.Blur

local button = script.Parent

button.Activated:Connect(function()
    blur.Enabled = not blur.Enabled
    button.Text = "Blur - " .. (blur.Enabled and "Off" or "On")
end)

a = not a is a neat trick to “toggle” a boolean variable from true <-> false.

Thanks man! This helped a lot! Also, this is a local script. Will this only appear for yourself?
