Building tool requiring to select color every time you want to place a block

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey all,

Recently I’ve been making a build tool. However, I cannot find the way to fix requiring to select a color each and every time you want to place a block.

Can we see your script please. So once they select a color you want them to be able to multi place blocks?

#3

The script is in the post. And yes, insead of selecting the color every time, you could just select one and place without pressing it every block.

You could just do this, and to get out of multi place just press the “X” key. Replace this code

With this

local Con

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
     if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
        Con:Disconnect()
     end
end)
 
for i,v in pairs(frame:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("ImageButton") then
		v.Activated:Connect(function()
			print(v.BackgroundColor3)
			Color = v.BackgroundColor3
			Con = mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
				Block()
			end)
		end)
	end
end

You are making the click event inside the function where they select a color and disconnecting it right after. Delete that event and move it outside like this:

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    if Color then
       Block()
    end
end)

These do fix the issue, but another issue happens. Whenever switching colors, it will duplicate the part.

That shouldn’t happen unless you haven’t deleted this

I have deleted it, and I can confirm it is indeed happening.

Maybe try this?

local Con

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
     if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
        Con:Disconnect()
     end
end)
 
for i,v in pairs(frame:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("ImageButton") then
		v.Activated:Connect(function()
           if Con then Con:Disconnect() end
			Color = v.BackgroundColor3
			Con = mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
				Block()
			end)
		end)
	end
end

It fixed the new issue, but now goes straight back to issue #1.

Also, I had to move

Con = mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()

Because Con:Disconnect() was not able to get it.

This is all I can think of:

local placing = false

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
     if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
       placing = false
     end
end)
 
for i,v in pairs(frame:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("ImageButton") then
		v.Activated:Connect(function()
			Color = v.BackgroundColor3
            placing = true
		end)
	end
end

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if placing then Block() end
end)
