Hey, I think this is my 4th time posting something in this category that isn’t a reply, I come in peace, providing all Roblox developers with a simple effective resource.
I present to you:
The Esc menu Blackout
This model provides a simple effect for you to use in your games if you wish to. It’s nothing super huge or cool.
Well, it is cool, it’s just not super huge
Everything is handled by one script, even the script creates the lighting effects like colour correction and blur, the audio already has the EQ, and the script handles that too. All you really need to do is put everything where it’s supposed to go, change the Audio ID and you are good to go.
This wasn’t made to be compatible with multiple audios, you can change that if you’d like. Or if your game changes audio IDs dynamically, then I guess it should work as intended, as long as the EQ is present.
Setup
When you insert the model into your workspace, you will be greeted with a folder
Inside, there are 2 things:
The audio
The GUI
The GUI goes in, well, StarterGUI
The audio is supposed to go in the workspace, as the script locates it there on line 28 of the script
Code
local Music = workspace.Music
There are more details in the script itself, which are comments on some lines that can tell you what you can and can’t change easily
Here is the toolbox link, I had a testing place ready but forgot to save it before I closed it (oops)
might make one later… no promises though
I don’t have a place for donations so… uh, if you wanna support me with money then you can ask I guess.
Thank you for checking this out.
Something extra.
If you’re THAT interested in what I do, my commissions for development are open, you can see my portfolio here:
it’s a weird alternative to :WaitForChild() I had to do, it’s to avoid loading issues and some weird bugs that happened when I did use :WaitForChild() (which I have no idea why they happened, they shouldn’t have)
I probably could have handled that a lot better, but there’s your answer
The effects are cool and the concept is nice, I like this.
Some suggestions
I don’t understand why you create a new tween every time the menu opens/closes, also you shouldn’t raise the LowGain when “muffling” the audio (makes it slightly louder which is a bit odd). And instead of asking the devs to use a given audio, allow them to set the location of the sound they choose and manually create an EQ effect in the script. It’s also easy enough to automatically move the ui to StarterGui from the script instead of asking the dev to do that too.
the script is already made to handle customised numbers, if someone wanted to not have a certain effect they could remove it altogether or just set it to 0.
The audio’s location is changeable in the script, instead of
You can tween multiple properties in one tween by doing {Property 1 = blabla, Property 1 = blabla,Property 1 = blabla}
etc

LISTEN LISTEN I know my code is painful to look at [especially lines 31-42 and lines 53-59]
but if it works it works.

local Blocker = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Frame')

EscColor:Destroy()

local Size = NewBlur.Size
local Saturation = NewColor.Saturation
-- All of these numbers are customisable.
TS:Create(NewBlur, TweenInfo.new(1), {Size = 12}):Play()
TS:Create(NewColor, TweenInfo.new(1), ColorSettings):Play()
TS:Create(Blocker, TweenInfo.new(1), {BackgroundTransparency = 0.5}):Play()
TS:Create(EQ, TweenInfo.new(1), EQSettings):Play()
end)
GuiService.MenuClosed:Connect(function()
for i,v in pairs(Camera:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == "ESCB" then
local OldBlur = v
TS:Create(OldBlur, TweenInfo.new(1), {Size = 0}):Play()
end
if v.Name == "ESCC" then
local OldCamera = v
-- All of these numbers are customisable.
TS:Create(OldCamera, TweenInfo.new(1), OldCameraSettings):Play()
TS:Create(Blocker, TweenInfo.new(1), {BackgroundTransparency = 1}):Play()
TS:Create(EQ, TweenInfo.new(1), EQSettings2):Play()
end
end
end)
you can add them individually. I would tell you another way if I was more experienced but I’m still not a pro, so this is the only solution I can offer for now
local sound1 = [sound location here]
local sound2 = [sound location here]
