Clicking detector enable/disable

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

I need help with this.

function onClicked()

script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.Enabled = false

script.Parent.Parent.Click.ClickDetector:Destroy()

wait(3)

script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.Enabled = true

wait(3)

end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

So, I want it to do loop like detector disable then enable back when going on main Screen of GUI. I did put detector to destroy, I tried with archivable to be false as disabled.

I’d suggest making a variable that is a boolean. ex :

local isClicked = false

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    if isClicked then return end
    isClicked = true
    -- code
    wait(time)
    isClicked = false
end)

I did but not working.

local isClicked = false

script.Parent.Parent.Click.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()

if not isClicked then return end

isClicked = true

script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.Enabled = false

wait(3)

script.Parent.Parent.Screen.SurfaceGui.Enabled = true

wait(5)

isClicked = false

end)
#4

Um that script won’t do anything since return just end the function correct me if i’m wrong. And adding the bool value won’t help cause it is just a debounce.

About the problem, are there 2 click detectors cause this:

script.Parent.Parent.Click.ClickDetector

and this

script.Parent.ClickDetector

are different.

My wrong, correct the if statement

if isClicked then return end
#6

Destroying click detectors and adding them is not the best solution.
1st you would need to do that on server
2nd everytime an object is created, packets are being sent

I didn’t said anything about that??
