Bool value didnt change..?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Here I have a drink, that could be placed down anywhere. It has a feature of remembering its state of being opened.

The state of being opened or not is also saved throughout the process of the scripts. The problem is the prop version of the drink cannot send the bool to the cloned original drink.

First, player has the original drink. Once opened, bool value sets to true, which IsOpened = true.
Then, placing it down will have a fake version of the drink to be placed down. With a click detector and the saved bool value IsOpened from the original drink.
Finally, my problem occurs here, where the prop version’s saved bool value did not get transferred over to a brand new cloned drink parented back to the player.

I’ve tried attributes, an alternative to bool value, did not work!

Name of the drink: Canned Water

Prop’s script:

local Tool = game:GetService("ServerStorage")["Important Gears"]:WaitForChild("Canned Water")
local State = script.Parent.Opened.Value

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	local NewTool = Tool:clone()
	NewTool.Parent = player.Character
	NewTool.IsOpened.Value = State
	
	print(State)
	print(NewTool.IsOpened.Value)
	
	NewTool:SetAttribute("IsOpened", State)
	print(player.Name .. "Picked up the drink!!")




	local soundTable = {
		17297659592,
	}

	local randomIndex = math.random(1, #soundTable)
	local randomSoundId = soundTable[randomIndex]


	NewTool.Handle.Place.SoundId = "rbxassetid://" .. randomSoundId
	NewTool.Handle.Place:play()



	if State then
		print("its opened")
		NewTool.Main.Enabled = true
		NewTool.Opener:Destroy()
	else
		NewTool.Opener.Enabled = true
		NewTool.Main.Enabled = false
		print("its NOT opened")
	end
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

If any of you got an idea how I could fix this, hit me up please and thank you.

Okay so local State = script.Parent.Opened.Value is above all of your code correct? So whatever it was at that point of time is what State is set to

local Tool = game:GetService("ServerStorage")["Important Gears"]:WaitForChild("Canned Water")
local State = script.Parent.Opened.Value --/!!/ State value is set here

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	local NewTool = Tool:clone()
	NewTool.Parent = player.Character
	NewTool.IsOpened.Value = State --/!!/  Always setting the Value to State defined above the function. 
--/!!/  So whatever State was set to above is what the value will always be.
	
	print(State)
	print(NewTool.IsOpened.Value)

What you probably want is this


local Tool = game:GetService("ServerStorage")["Important Gears"]:WaitForChild("Canned Water")

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	local NewTool = Tool:clone()
	NewTool.Parent = player.Character
	NewTool.IsOpened.Value = script.Parent.Opened.Value
	
	print(State)
	print(NewTool.IsOpened.Value)
	
	NewTool:SetAttribute("IsOpened", State)
	print(player.Name .. "Picked up the drink!!")




	local soundTable = {
		17297659592,
	}

	local randomIndex = math.random(1, #soundTable)
	local randomSoundId = soundTable[randomIndex]


	NewTool.Handle.Place.SoundId = "rbxassetid://" .. randomSoundId
	NewTool.Handle.Place:play()



	if State then
		print("its opened")
		NewTool.Main.Enabled = true
		NewTool.Opener:Destroy()
	else
		NewTool.Opener.Enabled = true
		NewTool.Main.Enabled = false
		print("its NOT opened")
	end
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

That is soooo weird… I would have never thought of the solution.
I thank you very much, Mr. Sky! :scream:!
