Checkpoint rotates when touched?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

How do you make a checkpoint rotates once per player and locally. Im not really good at scripting.

#2

To do it locally, you’d obviously need a LocalScript. A LocalScript only runs when parented to certain things, which you can read here. What I would do is first, put all the checkpoints in a folder and name it CheckpointsFolder Then put a LocalScript in StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts and write the following;

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService");
local checkpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("CheckpointsFolder"); --You can change CheckpointsFolder this to whatever you named the folder.

local character = script.Parent;

for _, checkpoint in next, checkpoints:GetChildren() do --Loops through all the checkpoints in the folder
	--I'm assuming each checkpoint is a SpawnLocation or a part, if not, you can tell me and I'll rewrite this.
	local rotateTween = TweenService:Create(
		checkpoint,
		TweenInfo.new(1), --Change 1 to how long (in seconds) you want the rotation to be
		{Orientation = checkpoint.Orientation + Vector3.new(0, 360, 0)}
	)
	--This makes a tween that will tween the orientation of the checkpoint by 360 degrees.
	
	local connection;
	connection = checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit:IsDescendantOf(character) then --Checks if what touched the checkpoint was part of your character
			connection:Disconnect(); --This will stop this function from running after it's been touched by your character
			rotateTween:Play(); --Plays the tween!
		end
	end)
end

Oh btw do you know how to make it become green after it spins

#5

Yes, do this;

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService");
local checkpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("CheckpointsFolder"); --You can change CheckpointsFolder this to whatever you named the folder.

local character = script.Parent;

for _, checkpoint in next, checkpoints:GetChildren() do --Loops through all the checkpoints in the folder
	--I'm assuming each checkpoint is a SpawnLocation or a part, if not, you can tell me and I'll rewrite this.
	local rotateTween = TweenService:Create(
		checkpoint,
		TweenInfo.new(1), --Change 1 to how long (in seconds) you want the rotation to be
		{Orientation = checkpoint.Orientation + Vector3.new(0, 360, 0)}
	)
	--This makes a tween that will tween the orientation of the checkpoint by 360 degrees.
	
	local connection;
	connection = checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit:IsDescendantOf(character) then --Checks if what touched the checkpoint was part of your character
			connection:Disconnect(); --This will stop this function from running after it's been touched by your character
			rotateTween:Play(); --Plays the tween!
			checkpoint.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0); --Changes the color
		end
	end)
end

sadly if you reset or rejoin you touch it it will still spin

#10

Good catch. Make a ScreenGui in StarterGui and make sure the ResetOnSpawn property is false. Put this script in the ScreenGui and change the code to this;

local Players = game:GetService("Players");
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService");
local checkpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("CheckpointsFolder"); --You can change CheckpointsFolder this to whatever you named the folder.

local character = Players.LocalPlayer.Character or Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait();

for _, checkpoint in next, checkpoints:GetChildren() do --Loops through all the checkpoints in the folder
	--I'm assuming each checkpoint is a SpawnLocation or a part, if not, you can tell me and I'll rewrite this.
	local rotateTween = TweenService:Create(
		checkpoint,
		TweenInfo.new(1), --Change 1 to how long (in seconds) you want the rotation to be
		{Orientation = checkpoint.Orientation + Vector3.new(0, 360, 0)}
	)
	--This makes a tween that will tween the orientation of the checkpoint by 360 degrees.
	
	local connection;
	connection = checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		character = Players.LocalPlayer.Character;
		if hit:IsDescendantOf(character) then --Checks if what touched the checkpoint was part of your character
			connection:Disconnect(); --This will stop this function from running after it's been touched by your character
			rotateTween:Play(); --Plays the tween!
			checkpoint.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0); --Changes the color
		end
	end)
end

it still has a little bug tho when you rejoin it still will rotate but if you reset it wont, and i also have a reset progress GUI. when they press reset the checkpoints are green when they step on it the checkpoint wont rotate too.

Just a small tip, please try and write a bit of code, that way you’re at least learning instead of other people just giving you the script. (Not tryin to sound rude but I think it’s better that way because you learn aswell)

#14

oh ok! im gonna try a bit then TvT
