As the title suggest I’m trying to make a Gameover screen that contain a Flavor text that basically use to callout player’s skill issue while doing so offering a tip of how to avoid being in the same situation
the idea of how this work is everytime the player recive a fatal blow, a remoteevent will pass on the information of the latest damage player recieve to the localscript
the localscript inside the gui will then change the text and tip corresponding to the Attack that player die to
well then I can just coding every type of damage that ever exist in my game in that same localscript and call it a day but I want to try and use modulescript
so I set up a modulescript that basically storing all the damage type along side the Flavor text and the tip which can be call to use later
local Cause_Of_Death = {
Rock = {
FlavorText = "Now that rock is sad, you monster",
Tip = "watch where you step and drink some more milk"
},
Unknown = {
FlavorText = "wait what... how did you die??",
Tip = " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "
}
}
return Cause_Of_Death
the problem is I still not fully understand how modulescrript work and I tried to fix the problem myself but I wouldn’t be here if it work please tell me what’s wrong with my script
Localscript
-- bunch of services
local storage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
-- bunch of reference to the instance
local info = TweenInfo.new(2,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local gui = script.Parent
local title = gui.Title
local tips = gui.tips
local reviveButton = gui.revive
local realTipButton = gui.actualTip
local ScreenEffect = gui.ScreenEffect
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
-- path to module
local DeadList = require(script.DeadList)
-- bunch of events
local deadEvent = storage.Events.COD
local reviveEvent = storage.Events.Revive
-- variables
local COD = "Unknown"
local CurrentFlavorText = ""
local CurrentTip = ""
deadEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(CauseOfDeath : string) -- this will recive the Casue of death imformation fron the enemy that kill the player
COD = CauseOfDeath
end)
local function TextUpdate() -- this right here doesn't work if you understand what I'm trying to do here
for i, v in pairs(DeadList) do
if v.Name == COD then
CurrentFlavorText = v.FlavorText
CurrentTip = v.Tip
break
end
end
end
local function Blur() -- make the screen blur
local blur = ScreenEffect.B:Clone()
blur.Parent = lighting
tween:Create(blur, TweenInfo.new(2), {Size = 15}):Play()
end
local function FadeScreen() -- flash the screen before start decreasing in brightness and increase contrast
local Flash = ScreenEffect.F:Clone()
Blur()
tween:Create(Flash, TweenInfo.new(2), {Saturation = -1}):Play()
tween:Create(Flash, TweenInfo.new(2), {Contrast = 1}):Play()
Flash.Parent = lighting
tween:Create(Flash, TweenInfo.new(.1), {Brightness = 1}):Play()
task.wait(.2)
tween:Create(Flash, TweenInfo.new(.1), {Brightness = 0}):Play()
end
local function GameoverScreen() -- main function (I'm actually call Flavor Text a "TIP" and the actual "TIP" realtip please don't judge me)
TextUpdate()
gui.Enabled = true

title.TextTransparency = 1
tween:Create(title, TweenInfo.new(3), {TextTransparency = 0}):Play()
task.wait(2)

tween:Create(reviveButton, TweenInfo.new(1), {BackgroundTransparency = 0.8}):Play()
task.wait(0.5)
reviveButton.Interactable = true
realTipButton.Interactable = true
end
reviveButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- tell the server to loadcharacter and remove screen effect
reviveEvent:FireServer()
COD = "Unknown"
for i,v in pairs(lighting:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == "B" or v.Name == "F" then
v:Destroy()
end
end
end)
realTipButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- reveal actual tip
tips.Text = CurrentTip
end)
reviveButton.MouseEnter:Connect(function() -- make the button a bit bigger when mouse hover above
reviveButton:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.191,20,0.104,20), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 1,true)
end)
reviveButton.MouseLeave:Connect(function() -- do the opposite
reviveButton:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.191,0,0.104,0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 1,true)
end)
humanoid.Died:Connect(function() -- fire event 2 second after the player die
task.delay(2, function()
FadeScreen()
GameoverScreen()
end)
end)
task.spawn(function() -- this just make the revive button do a funny rotate side to side
while task.wait() do
local T1 = tween:Create(reviveButton, info, {Rotation = 3})
T1:Play()
T1.Completed:Wait()
local T2 = tween:Create(reviveButton, info, {Rotation = -3})
T2:Play()
T2.Completed:Wait()
end
end)
The showcase of how it should work (in the video I manually set the flavor text and tip. In the current script above both Flavor Text and Tip stay default which is empty and that’s the problem)
