Damage lightning effect

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello everyone,
I’ve been working on a lightning damage effect, so when the player damages, the lightning enables.
I tried a lot of different ways to tween it and nothing seems to work, any help?

script:

local tweenService  = game:GetService("TweenService")

while true do
	if script.Parent.Humanoid.Health <= 50 then
		game.Lighting.ColorCorrection.Enabled = true
		TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
	else
		game.Lighting.ColorCorrection.Enabled = false
		TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
	end
	wait()
end

I never experienced tweening with lightning before, I’m sorry if the script does not make any sense.
Thanks in advanced.

Have you worked with TweenService at all?

#3

Yeah, not a lot tho. I never experienced lightning tween which is confusing me a lot

#4

Okay, well part of the problem is that you didn’t properly create tweens.

#5

What exactly are you trying to tween? From what I can see, you’re only providing tweeninfo for a tween that you haven’t created.

#6

Here’s an example of a tween:

local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ti = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local part = --define part or object here

local tweenProperties = {
    --Write your changed properties here
}

------------------
--CREATE A TWEEN--
------------------
local tween = ts:Create(part, ti, tweenProperties)

wait()

tween:Play()

Try this:


while true do
	if script.Parent.Humanoid.Health <= 50 then
		game.Lighting.ColorCorrection.Enabled = true
		local Information = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
        TweenService:Create(-- your object here, -- Information, Properties-- What you want to tween)
	else
		game.Lighting.ColorCorrection.Enabled = false
				local Information = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
                TweenService:Create(-- your object here, -- Information, Properties-- What you want to tween)
	end
	wait()
end

Although @anon36900032’s example provides a bit more information on how to tween it.

My bad, I forgot to add tweenService:Create I didnt even notice lol

#9

My problem is, How would I define the lightning object?
would I define it as game.Lighting:WaitForChild(“ColorCorrection”)?

#10

Well, what exactly is the lightning object? The colorCorrection effect?

Also, what are you tweening?

#11

The lightning object is color correction.
I’m tweening the lightning effect, so when the color correction is enabled, it tweens in smoothly

#12

If it’s enabled, then it won’t appear smoothly. It will just become enabled. You cannot tween a boolvalue, which in this case, would be Enabled.

#13

Yeah thats what I thought, Would a saturation setting work with a tween?

#14

Yes, but I recommend tweening the color of the ColorCorrectionEffect, then tweening it back to the default Color3.

#15

Thank u tho, helped a lot. I think I will make the screen shake so it will work better and wont look choppy.

#16

No problem, good luck. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

As others have been mentioning you with the Tween I would suggest you,use the HealthChanged Event on the Humanoid as it will be way more effective
Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
if health <= 50 then
–do what you want
end
end)
