Give item to everybody at a certain time for a certain amount of time

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi,
So i want to make a script that gives people an item every lets say 200 seconds, for 30 seconds, then deletes the item from inventory.

Please, any help appreciated.

#2

You mean something like this?

local tool = --tool

while task.wait(200) do
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        tool:Clone().Parent = v.Backpack
    end
    task.wait(30)
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local plrtool = v.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) or v.Character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name)
        if tool then 
            tool:Destroy()
        end
    end
end

Quick question: Where would i put this script so i make sure it works?

#4

Wherever you want honestly. Just put it in ServerScriptService as a normal script though. Also, make sure to reference the tool.

#5

Does not delete the tool sadley.

#6

Are there any errors? It seems like this would worl perfectly fine.

#7

No errors, it does not delete the tool in question but adds another after it repeats?

#8

Oh, my bad, I was referencing the wrong thing at the end.

local tool = --tool

while task.wait(200) do
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        tool:Clone().Parent = v.Backpack
    end
    task.wait(30)
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local plrtool = v.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) or v.Character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name)
        if plrtool then 
            plrtool:Destroy()
        end
    end
end

It removes the tool permanently when i die. I want it to stay until the 30 seconds ended even if died.

#10

Otherwise this works. Thanks for that.

Then simply put it into startergear.

local tool = --tool

while task.wait(200) do
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        tool:Clone().Parent = v.Backpack
        tool:Clone().Parent = v.StarterGear
    end
    task.wait(30)
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local plrtool = v.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) or v.Character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name)
        if plrtool then 
            plrtool:Destroy()
        end
        v.StarterGear:FindFirstChild(tool.Name):Destroy()
    end
end

Realized it would only destroy the one in StarterGear if the player had the tool so had to fix that

Works exactly how i wanted. Unfortunately, the tool i was talking about does not work how i wanted, but ill just find another. By the way, how would i make a message appear (textlabel) when this event happens?

#13

I would want the text of it to change, its already in starter GUI, too.

#14

I would probably use :FireAllClients and a remote event ex:

local tool = --tool
local event = --event

while task.wait(200) do
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        tool:Clone().Parent = v.Backpack
        tool:Clone().Parent = v.StarterGear
    end
    event:FireAllClients()
    task.wait(30)
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local plrtool = v.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) or v.Character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name)
        if plrtool then 
            plrtool:Destroy()
        end
        v.StarterGear:FindFirstChild(tool.Name):Destroy()
    end
end

local script:

local event = --event
local label = --label to change

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    label.Text = "whatever here"
end)
#15

Would i put the local script in starter UI?

#16

Yes, you need it to be in a place that the client can receive information.

#17

And this will show for all players, right? also, sorry for so many questions, i get very confused with studio.

#18

Yes, it will show for all players that are currently in the game.

#19

It wont delete the tool now, and i have no idea why.

#20

It is a crossbow from the toolbox, i set the name, everything.
