Hihi! I need assistance with a part and the void

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve been trying to make a challenge in my game that detects when “ChallengePart” is destroyed (by the void), the timer on the top of the screen will stop, but my if game.Workspace.ChallengePart.Position.Y <= -200 or -400, etc then game.StarterGui.PartChallenge.KILLTIMER.LocalScript.Enabled = false doesn’t work. Please help me create a more effective way, perhaps?

You can just check if the part still exists or not using :FindFirstChild(“ChallengePart”)

for example

if not workspace:FindFirstChild("ChallengePart") then
   -- pusyo bruv
end

Ah, thank you! :smiley:

#4

Is there a way to make it loop until it finds out that the part doesnt exist?

#5 
--of course
repeat task.wait() until not workspace:FindFirstChild("ChallengePart")

So like this?

repeat task.wait() until not workspace:FindFirstChild("ChallengePart")
if not workspace:FindFirstChild("ChallengePart") then
	game.StarterGui.PartChallenge.KILLTIMER.LocalScript.Enabled = false
end
#7

u can remove the if statement but yeah

#8

Alright, gonna test this now. Be right back

#9

Didn’t exactly work.

repeat task.wait() until not workspace:FindFirstChild("ChallengePart")
	game.StarterGui.PartChallenge.KILLTIMER.LocalScript.Enabled = false
end

without the if statement, right?

#10

what is that end bruv, remove the end function on your script

#11

Oops, it automatically placed itself when doing the if statement.

#12

Without the if statement and without end, still doesn’t stop the timer.

#13

Is it cause it’s not a localscript?

#14

LocalScript did not work either.

#19

I assume this script is undoable. It seems like anything I try to do isn’t working.

#20

I’m not sure how to reach PlayerGui, if anyone can help would be cool.

#21

Here’s how to navigate to it. Obviously, this should be in a LocalScript.

game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
#22

Aha, yeah I did that but it didn’t work cus i was in a global one. Tysm!

#23

why dont you put that local script inside your gui object, and get the variables easily wth no trouble??

#24

The problem is this is too advanced for me. I have no idea how, I wanna keep it simple.
