I currently made a script to work once touching the tool called ballon, go to the backpack of your character, and change the value of the JumpPower/JumpHeight!
However, as testing inside of Roblox Studio, in the Output, it tells me that cannot find it. Moreover, it tells me that it is not a valid member of my character’s body parts:
ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon.Handle
FindHumanoid = game:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
ballon.Touched:Connect(function(player)
if FindHumanoid then
print(player.Name .. " touched me")
end
ballon.Parent = player.Backpack
if FindHumanoid.JumpHeigh or FindHumanoid.JumpPower == 50 then
FindHumanoid.JumpHeight = 85
elseif FindHumanoid.JumpPower then
FindHumanoid.Jumpower = 85
else
print("Something is wrong with the script!!")
end
end)
If it is possible for anyone to assist me with this problem, that would be appreciatable!
I think it’s a bit better to use WaitForChild() Function.
Since you are “trying” to find the Humanoid. It’s a completely useful function for that.
--[Example]
local Part = workspace:WaitForChild('MyPart')
if Part ~= nil then
-- [ My Part exists!
end
After it waits for it to exist, It will continue.
And about the part of the script if h.JumpHeight or h.JumpPower == 50 then I suggest you use or h.JumpPower >= 50 or h.JumpPower == 50 It’s more useful.
Also, You can use this to help you even more.
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
-- [ script...
end
I use that a lot to make killing bricks, and other stuff.
Try changing up to this and reply if did any effects!
ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon.Handle
local db = false -- [ Using this so It wont give a complex thing that I cant explain a lot, but it just prevents spamming.
ballon.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and db == false then
db = true
local Char = hit.Parent
RBLX_PLAYER_HUMANOID = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
if RBLX_PLAYER_HUMANOID then
if RBLX_PLAYER_HUMANOID.JumpHeight >= 50 or RBLX_PLAYER_HUMANOID == 50 or RBLX_PLAYER_HUMANOID.JumpPower == 50 or RBLX_PLAYER_HUMANOID.JumpPower >= 50 then
RBLX_PLAYER.HUMANOID.JumpHeight = 100
RBLX_PLAYER_HUMANOID.JumpPower = 100
end
end
end
end)
I’m a bit confused as to why you need to make a touched event for this, when you step on a tool’s handle it automatically parents it to your character, wouldn’t it be better in your case to give the JumpPower and JumpHeight on equip and revert them on unequip?
But, to make sure, I want to make the touched event print that the specific player got the Handle part. Once printed, the tool’s parent is going to be the player’s backpack (i.e the inventory), and furthermore, change the JumpPower & JumpHeight localizing the Humanoid!
As putting all together (as you can see in the first script at the topic’s description, it tells me something unexpected… It turns out that the Backpack is not a valid member of different body parts of my R15 character…
That’s because what touches the handle is not the player, usually people do hit.Parent to get the Character of the player since the parent of a limb is the Character, then they use Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter() to get the player, passing the Character they found (hit.Parent) into the brackets and then using an if statement to check if the parent is a valid player
Example of a typical player hit detection
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local character = hit.Parent
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if not player then
return
end
-- Code here executes if what touched the part is a player
end)
Well, in this case, I inserted the hit.Parent as well as Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter + more notes which are the print line, parent of the variable ballon, and in case it finds the character’s humanoid, changes the JumpPower and JumpHeight:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon.Handle
ballon.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local character = script.Parent
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if not player then
return
end
print(player.Name, player.DisplayName .. "touched the part!")
ballon.Parent = player.Backpack
local human = game:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if human then
human.JumpPower = 85
human.JumpHeight = 85
end
end)
Testing it out once again on Roblox Studio, no issues or warnings were found in the Output, yet no alterations were made in the Script for some reason… XP
Why are you doing game:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")? You have to find the humanoid in the character, so change that to character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
Oh, whoops, silly me! I thought it would find like a normal part on the Workspace…
I fixed it now in the local variable human (representing Humanoid), and played on! Checking out my character’s Humanoid > Jump Settings > JumpHeight, unfortunately, it prints only 7.2 as the value…
However, I did not stop here! I tried adding another information, WalkSpeed, and it appears that both of them do not do any modifications whatsoever
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon.Handle
ballon.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local character = script.Parent
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if not player then
return
end
print(player.Name, player.DisplayName .. "touched the part!")
ballon.Parent = player.Backpack
local human = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if human then
human.UseJumpPower = true
human.JumpPower = 85
human.JumpHeight = 85
human.WalkSpeed = 100
end
end)
Okay! So, I eventually changed this right now, and now, playing in the Baseplate, and touching, the tool disappears and makes my character not possible to move, only jump with the different values being distributed on the Script
I am not sure why it is not letting me do any actions except for jumping… Quite odd
I’m not sure if the Tool disappearing is what you wanted, the reason it disappears is because you parent the handle ot backpack, you have to parent the tool, so ballon.Parent.Parent
And as for the character break, that’s odd, I tried it out how I think you set it up and it works for me, I get a lot of jump height and walkspeed, maybe something is interfering with the code?
From touchinterests you dont get what player touched it you get what part touched it
so
ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon.Handle
FindHumanoid = game:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- Dont know what this is exacly for (seems like trying to find humanoid but failed)
ballon.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local Character = nil
if hit.Parent:IsA("Model") and game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
Character = hit.Parent
elseif hit.Parent.Parent:IsA("Model") and game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent.Parent) ~= nil then -- Double check
Character = hit.Parent.Parent
else
return error("The touch was not from a player. | " .. ballon:GetFullName())
end
local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if Humanoid then
print(Player.Name .. " touched me")
end
ballon.Parent = Player.Backpack
if Humanoid.JumpHeigh or Humanoid.JumpPower == 50 then
Humanoid.JumpHeight = 85
elseif Humanoid.JumpPower then
Humanoid.Jumpower = 85
else
return error("Something is wrong with the script!")
end
end)
Keeping it simple and normal
i always suggest using
local Character = nil
if hit.Parent:IsA("Model") and game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
Character = hit.Parent
elseif hit.Parent.Parent:IsA("Model") and game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent.Parent) ~= nil then -- Double check
Character = hit.Parent.Parent
else
return error("The touch was not from a player.")
end
local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
After a touch script (only if you willing to use it for a character)
Ah, sorry! I did not see that I settled up the WalkSpeed to a value that could make my character “frozen”!
Corrected the little parts and added another two pieces of information, which are getting the tool with a “tada” sound and playing a little bounce noise in the statement if Humanoid.Jumping then…
ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon.Handle
ballon.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local character = hit.Parent
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if not player then
return
end
print(player.Name, player.DisplayName .. " touched the Handle!")
ballon.Parent.Parent = player.Backpack
local human = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if human then
human.UseJumpPower = true
human.JumpPower = 85
human.JumpHeight = 85
human.WalkSpeed = 16
end
ballon["tada.wav/victory.wav HD"]:Play()
wait(5)
if human.Jumping then
ballon["bounce boing sound effect"]:Play()
end
if ballon.Parent.Parent == nil then
ballon["bounce boing sound effect"].Playing = false
human.UseJumpPower = true
human.JumpPower = 50
human.JumpHeight = 7.2
human.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end)
It quite works in short, just does not synchronizes with the bounce and does not change its value to normal if the ballon.Parent.Parent == nil
And also, for checking a change in parent, use AncestryChanged
Though I don’t know if this is the best route to do all of this with a touched event, I still think it’s better to use these with a mix of equipped and unequipped events on the tool so that way it’s easier to check whe nthe balloon is unequipped and easier to set up the giving of stat changes and jumping check
