Face won't switch back to happy

YozyRoblox · January 18, 2024, 2:04am


spawn(function()
	while task.wait(0.5) do
		for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
			if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
				Head.Face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
			else
				Head.Face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" -- happy face
			end
		end
	end
end)

This script is supposed to make it so that when you stand on an enemy’s head, it becomes sad. Then when you’re no longer standing on it, it becomes happy. But what the script does right now is when you stand on the enemy’s head, it becomes sad and stays sad permanently even if you jump off. I checked and the hitbox is always in the right place, above the head, and is not touching any legs but it still won’t switch the face to happy. Can anyone help fix this?

rather than doing a while loop, you could try doing when Head.Touched then get the parts within the hitbox, and when Head.TouchEnded wait like 0.5 seconds and repeat the detection thingy

It still doesn’t work

iATtaCk_Noobsi · January 18, 2024, 2:19am

Can you pose the new script you tried out?

YozyRoblox · January 18, 2024, 2:20am

local Head = script.Parent.Head

Head.SadnessHitbox.Touched:Connect(function(v)
	if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
		Head.Face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
	else
		Head.Face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" -- happy face
	end
end)

Head.SadnessHitbox.TouchEnded:Connect(function(v)
	task.wait(0.5)
	if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
		Head.Face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
	else
		Head.Face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" -- happy face
	end
end)

iATtaCk_Noobsi · January 18, 2024, 2:24am

replace the

if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
	Head.Face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
else
	Head.Face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" -- happy face
end

with this in both of the touch functions

for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
	if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
		Head.Face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
	else
		Head.Face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" -- happy face
	end
end

It still doesn’t work…

local Head = script.Parent.Head

Head.SadnessHitbox.Touched:Connect(function()
	for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
		if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
			Head.Face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
		else
			Head.Face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" -- happy face
		end
	end
end)

Head.SadnessHitbox.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
	task.wait(0.5)
	for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
		if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
			Head.Face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
		else
			Head.Face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" -- happy face
		end
	end
end)

iATtaCk_Noobsi · January 18, 2024, 2:33am

test what’s getting printed in the GetPartsInParts table in the TouchEnded function

Head.SadnessHitbox.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
	task.wait(0.5)
	for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
		print(v.Name)
		if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
			Head.Face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
		else
			Head.Face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" -- happy face
		end
	end
end)

It says Left Leg, Right Leg, and HumanoidRootPart over and over

CloudyBoy27 · January 18, 2024, 2:36am

Try this, hope it helps!

local Head = script.Parent.Head

Head.SadnessHitbox.Touched:Connect(function()
	for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
		if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
			Head.face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
		end
	end
end)

while task.wait(0.5) do
	if Head.face.Texture == "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" then
		local touching = false
		for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
			if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
				touching = true
			end
		end
		if touching == false then
			Head.face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" 
		end
	end
end

It works better but now if I stand still while on the head, it won’t turn sad

iATtaCk_Noobsi · January 18, 2024, 2:46am

Well working off of ColudBoy’s script, change his while loop to this

while Head.face.Texture == "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" do
	for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
		if v.Name ~= "Left Leg" and not v.Name ~= "Right Leg" then
			Head.face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png"
		end
	end
	task.wait(0.5)
end

If this works give the check to him

Also highly suggest you don’t keep while loops running in the background, it can cause a lot of lag depending on what you’re doing in the loop and how many loops you have

YozyRoblox · January 18, 2024, 2:50am

What’s the point of the not v.Name ~= “Right Leg”

iATtaCk_Noobsi · January 18, 2024, 2:51am

ah whoops forgot to remove those parts, just remove the not

YozyRoblox · January 18, 2024, 2:53am

It went back to the original problem

iATtaCk_Noobsi · January 18, 2024, 2:58am

??
Checks what’s getting printed in the for loop

for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
	print(v.Name) -- new text
	if v.Name ~= "Left Leg" and not v.Name ~= "Right Leg" then
		Head.face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png"
	end
end

iATtaCk_Noobsi · January 18, 2024, 3:08am

Try this, if it don’t work I give up

local Head = script.Parent.Head
local isTouching = false

Head.SadnessHitbox.Touched:Connect(function()
	if isTouching == false then
		for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
			if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
				Head.face.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=910076130" -- sad face
				isTouching = true
			end
		end
	end
end)

while isTouching == true do
	local touching = false
	for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetPartsInPart(Head.SadnessHitbox)) do
		if v.Name == "Left Leg" or v.Name == "Right Leg" then
			touching = true
		end
	end
	if touching == false then
		Head.face.Texture = "rbxasset://textures/face.png" 
		isTouching = false
	end
end

if it does, give check to CloudBoy

CloudyBoy27 · January 18, 2024, 3:08am

Is the hitbox CanCollide off?

This text will be blurred

YozyRoblox · January 18, 2024, 5:16am

Yes

YozyRoblox · January 18, 2024, 5:17am

Now the smile won’t become sad anymore
