Area Detection cooldown + kill script

[ar_qx]

@domboss37

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		local ui = p.PlayerGui.Cold.Frame
		if ui.Visible then
			for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
				ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
				wait(1)
			end
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 500
		else
			ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - 10s"
		end
	end
end)

Only using this:

Results to this:

In other word, no UI has appeared, with no errors.

[domboss37 (TSL)]

Try printing p and hit and hit.Parent

print(p, hit, hit.Parent)

Make sure you put that after the p variable

[domboss37 (TSL)]

Ah nevermind the prints I realized I forgot to add the line that makes it visible her you go:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		local ui = p.PlayerGui.Cold.Frame
        ui.Visible = true
		if ui.Visible then
			for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
				ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
				wait(1)
			end
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 500
		else
			ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - 10s"
		end
	end
end)

@domboss37

			end
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 500

before i test that out, shouldnt i change these around? otherwise we end the script before killing

[domboss37 (TSL)]

No that end is for the countdown loop if you put the killing inside the loop then it will kill after the first second aka every time the loop runs.

That should work. I’m sorry but I have to go now!

[ar_qx]

Now it works perfectly besides this one issue:

@domboss37

I’m sorry but I have to go now!

I do appreciate the amount of help you’ve given, its really helped out. And anyone else that helped too <3

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		local ui = p.PlayerGui.Cold.Frame
		ui.Visible = true
		if ui.Visible then
			for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
				ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
				wait(1)
			end
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 500
		else
			ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - 10s"
		end
	end
end)

Issue is

• Still counts down even off the “dangerous area”
• 
• It stacks - Meaning I can just spam those dangerous area UIs and they all count down then kill me.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

[domboss37 (TSL)]

I have time for one more reply make sure to add a check to check if the player is still touching the part

[ar_qx]

Ok I will try finding out how linking back to cooldowns:
OPEN GUI with a PART - Roblox Scripting Tutorial - YouTube

[domboss37 (TSL)]

Use touchended and have variable called touching when the player touches set touching to true when touchended set touching to false

[HammyLammyYT (Fakie)]

Yes.

Task Library - Now Available!

Hey developers, We have just enabled a brand new library that you can use in your projects. The task library allows you to talk directly with our engine’s task scheduler to manage and schedule code. It features a number of new methods as well as some improvements to existing methods. Details task.spawn Takes a thread or function and resumes it immediately through the engine’s scheduler. Additional arguments are passed to the thread or function being resumed. void task.spawn(function | thread,…

Existing Methods

We will eventually mark the existing methods (spawn, delay, and wait) as deprecated in favor of their alternatives however they will continue to work as they do now for the foreseeable future and we have no plans to change this.

[ar_qx]

Fixed the stacked issue:
However I am still confused on how to detect when players are no longer on the part, so if anyone can help me detect when users are off the part then end the kill script, that would be appreciated. Unless I need to revert back to the singular typing out and detected if p is false?

local debounce = true
local par = script.Parent
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		local ui = p.PlayerGui.Cold.Frame
		if debounce and hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then
		debounce = false
		ui.Visible = true
		if ui.Visible then
			for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
				ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
				wait(1)
			end
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 500
			wait(1)
			debounce = true
			ui.Visible = false
		else debounce = true
			ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - 10s"
			ui.Visible = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

Issue is:

• The UI doesn’t stop when the humanoid is off the kill part.

[domboss37 (TSL)]

So what I was saying setup a variable called touching:

local touching = false

When you touch the part set touching to true

Then setup a touch ended:

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
    touching = false
end)

Then in the loop in the touched event add a check to check if touching is false
So:

for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
    ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
    if not touching then break end
    wait(1)
end

Final:

local touching = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		local ui = p.PlayerGui.Cold.Frame
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then
		touching = true
		ui.Visible = true
		if ui.Visible then
			for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
				ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
                if not touching then break end
				wait(1)
			end
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 500
			ui.Visible = false
		else
			ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - 10s"
			ui.Visible = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
    touching = false
end)

[ar_qx]

I mean I made one called ‘debounce’ instead, could I put:

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
   touching = false
end)

Before line 2?

[domboss37 (TSL)]

I’m not really sure what your asking but try what I wrote because I just edited the reply

[ar_qx]

After testing it…

It killed me instantly on touch.

local touching = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		local ui = p.PlayerGui.Cold.Frame
		ui.Visible = true
		if ui.Visible then
			for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
				ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
				if not touching then break end
				wait(1)
			end
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 500
		else
			ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - 10s"
		end
	end
end)

[domboss37 (TSL)]

Because you never set touching to true so it immediately broke out of the loop and killed you.

Also instead of subtracting 500 from the Heath just set the health to 0

I put the new script at the end of the last post btw

[ar_qx]

So using this new script you provided:

local touching = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		local ui = p.PlayerGui.Cold.Frame
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then
			touching = true
			ui.Visible = true
			if ui.Visible then
				for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
					ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
					if not touching then break end
					wait(1)
				end
				hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 500
				ui.Visible = false
			else
				ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - 10s"
				ui.Visible = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
	touching = false
end)

It would appear that you die instantly after stepping off the part.

Error mess:
Also thank you so much for all the help <3 it really means a lot that you’re going the extra mile.

[domboss37 (TSL)]

That’s because after we break out of the loop we kill the player. Let me think for a minute

[domboss37 (TSL)]

I guess you can make a should kill variable and set it to true when the loop successfully finishes and set it to false if we break out so like this:

local touching = false
local shouldKill = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		local ui = p.PlayerGui.Cold.Frame
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then
			touching = true
			ui.Visible = true
			if ui.Visible then
				for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
					ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
					if not touching then             
                        shouldKill = false
                        break 
                    else
                        shouldKill=true
                    end
					wait(1)
				end
				if shouldKill then hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0 end
				ui.Visible = false
			else
				ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - 10s"
				ui.Visible = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
	touching = false
end)

[ar_qx]

@domboss37

local touching = false
local shouldKill = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if p then
		local ui = p.PlayerGui.Cold.Frame
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then
			touching = true
			ui.Visible = true
			if ui.Visible then
				for i = 10, 0, -1 do 
					ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - "..i.."s"
					if not touching then             
                        shouldKill = false
                        break 
                    else
                        shouldKill=true
                    end
					wait(1)
				end
				if shouldKill then hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0 end
				ui.Visible = false
			else
				ui.TextLabel.Text = "Dangerous area turn around! - 10s"
				ui.Visible = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
	touching = false
end)

It bloody works like a charm now! Thank you so much for all your help and Fakies simplified method.
This means a lot and will help me progress, I’m sorry this took like 2 hours. . <333333333
