How do I reference a value inside of a localscript, inside a part from a localscript inside a startergui?

Iā€™ll rephrase your question:

What you want, is to get the value of value in the second script,
and pass it into the first script
Am I right?

Yeah, that is what I am trying to do.

The second script:

local thatValue = script.Value -- named it thatValue so it wont be confusing
clicker = script.Parent.ClickDetector -- i assume that the LocalScript with value in it is in the part

function onClicked(mouse)
     clicker.MaxActivationDistance = 0 -- i dont know why are you assinging 2 values at the same time, but i assume thats right
     value.Value = true -- assign thatValue's value to true
     clicker.MaxActivationDistance = 32
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClicked)

The first script:

wait() -- debounce

local value = -- define the value thats in the LocalScript

if value.Value == true then
     mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
     mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://46537754"
end

If any error occurs in the output, reply with the screenshot of it

How do you ā€˜define the value thatā€™s in the LocalScriptā€™?

Set the path of the value.
In example:

local value = game.Workspace.CursorButton.LocalScript.Value -- assuming that the part(CursorButton) is in the workspace

A question, where does the 1st script belong?

Why are you not writing local?

The 1st script is belonging in the StarterGui

Its not necessary?
I mean, its optional when youā€™re writing it in the script itself(where no indentation is), and its needed when writing in an if or function space

#13

Thanks!
Full code:

The second script:

local thatValue = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.LocalScript.Value
clicker = script.Parent.ClickDetector -- i assume that the LocalScript with value in it is in the part

function onClicked(mouse)
     clicker.MaxActivationDistance = 0 -- i dont know why are you assinging 2 values at the same time, but i assume thats right
     value.Value = true -- assign thatValue's value to true
     clicker.MaxActivationDistance = 32
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClicked)

The first script:

wait() -- debounce

local value = script.Value

if value.Value == true then
     mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
     mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://46537754"
end

Again, if any error occurs in the output, reply with the screenshot of it.

Thereā€™s no errors, it just doesnā€™t work. The second script is in Workspace.

#15

Just in workspace or any exact part?

#16

Itā€™s in workspace, CursorButton and it says on line 6 that value is an undefined global variable

#17

Yes, it is an undefined value, since you havenā€™t called it outside the function.
Iā€™ll rewrite the script, and while I do that, write out the exact name for the part and the script
In example:

-- the part: game:GetService("Workspace").CursorButton (since you've said that the script is in the workspace)
-- the first localscript: game:GetService("Workspace").CursorButton.LocalScript
-- the 2nd localscript: game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.LocalScript
#18

The part: first script: game:GetService(ā€œWorkspaceā€).CursorButton
first script: game:GetService(ā€œWorkspaceā€).CursorButton.Localscript
Second Script: game:GetService(ā€œStarterGuiā€).CursorChange

#19

First script:

-- delete everyhting

Second script:

local p = script.Parent.Sound -- assuming that the Sound is in the PlayerGui; if not, set its' path to where it is.
p.Looped = false -- setting it to false because i assume its less than 5 seconds long
local thatScript = game:GetService("Workspace").CursorButton.LocalScript
local value = thatScript.Value
local clicker = script.Value
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

thatScript.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
     if value.Value == true then 
          value.Value = true -- assign thatValue's value to true, since the player clicked on the part
          clicker.MaxActivationDistance = 32
          p:Play()
          mouse.Icon = "rbxassetid://46537754"
     else
          value.Value = false -- assign thatValue's value to false, since the player clicked on the part again
          clicker.MaxActivationDistance = 32
          -- not calling the sound because the value is false
     end
end)

You would have to create a value inside the second script(dont name it, keep itsā€™ name Value), and delete the first script since the function is inside of the second script.
Reply if nothing happens, or an error occurs.
If you want exactly 2 scripts to be made, reply with saying so.

update: changed the script since i used a different variable
