How can i add a delay to this system?

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 5:21pm

Here is my terrible MS Paint diagram. Hope it helps

Omnoms_Forever · January 13, 2024, 5:26pm

Ok, first off I’m sorry for not understanding. From the “terrible” diagram, it looks like you want the coins to drop and then be collected automatically after two seconds…? Is that right…? Or do you want them all to be collected at once? If it’s the latter (collect all at once) then I have an idea, but please tell me that that’s actually what you want first before I go and write up the wrong solution .

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 5:28pm

Lol! Okay, heres a step by step example:

The coins have spawned into and have been parented to the folder
Wait 2 seconds
You can collect the coins if you are in range of the magnitude (12 studs) or in the script. The magnitude is defined as MagnetReach

add a value called cooldown, put a task.wait(2) and make it true and make the code an if statement.

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 5:32pm

All of us have tried this. But it collects 1 coin every 2 seconds not all of them

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 5:33pm

If you need me to be clearer. The coins rest on the floor before 2 seconds before all of them can be collected if there in range

Omnoms_Forever · January 13, 2024, 5:41pm

I think I get it now- several coins are being dropped at once, and they should be collected together. Didn’t want to leave you in suspense, writing up a solution now!!!

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 5:42pm

YESS! WE GOT IT!!!

Yes, several coins drop at once. But they instantly get collected in range. I want a 2 second delay before they get collected

And they can only get collected in the range (if Magnitude <= player.Data.MagnetReach.Value then)

Omnoms_Forever · January 13, 2024, 5:59pm

Hooray! Then here’s my solution, I sincerely hope this is what you need (sorry for the wait again ):

Drop Script

local Drop = {}
Drop.CooldownTime = 2 -- Specify how long the cooldown is in seconds
function Drop.DropCurrency(originCFrame, object, amount, value)
    local drop = Instance.new("Model") -- The coins are put into their own Model in the Drops folder to show that they go together
    drop:PivotTo(originCFrame)
    drop.Name = "DropModel"
    drop.Parent = workspace:WaitForChild("Drops")
     
	for i = 0, amount do
		local cloneObj = object:Clone()
		cloneObj.Name = "Drop "..i
		cloneObj.Value.Value = value
		cloneObj.CFrame = originCFrame
		cloneObj.Parent = drop
		
		local randomX = {math.random(-10, -2), math.random(2,10)}
		local RandomZ = {math.random(-10, -2), math.random(2,10)}
		
		local velocity = Vector3.new(randomX[math.random(1,2)], math.random(10,100), RandomZ[math.random(1,2)])
		
		cloneObj.AssemblyLinearVelocity = velocity
		
	end
    
    drop:SetAttribute("Cooldown",true) -- Cooldown applied to the group of coins rather than each specifically
    task.delay(Drop.CooldownTime,function()
        drop:SetAttribute("Cooldown",false)
    end)
	for i = 0, amount do
		local cloneObj = object:Clone()
		cloneObj.Name = "Drop "..i
		cloneObj.Value.Value = value
		cloneObj.CFrame = originCFrame
		cloneObj.Parent = drop
		
		local randomX = {math.random(-10, -2), math.random(2,10)}
		local RandomZ = {math.random(-10, -2), math.random(2,10)}
		
		local velocity = Vector3.new(randomX[math.random(1,2)], math.random(10,100), RandomZ[math.random(1,2)])
		
		cloneObj.AssemblyLinearVelocity = velocity
		
	end
    
    drop:SetAttribute("Cooldown",true) -- Cooldown applied to the group of coins rather than each specifically
    task.delay(Drop.CooldownTime,function()
        drop:SetAttribute("Cooldown",false)
    end)
    
    drop.Parent = workspace:WaitForChild("Drops")
end
	
return Drop

Coin Collect:

local debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local player  = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

while true do
	for j, dropModel in pairs(workspace.Drops:GetChildren()) do
		if not dropModel:IsA("PVInstance") or dropModel:GetAttribute("Cooldown") then continue end -- If it's not a Model or Part, skip!
		local canCollect = false
		for i,drop in pairs(dropModel:GetChildren()) do
			local magnitude = (HumanoidRootPart.Position - dropModel:GetPivot().Position).Magnitude
			if magnitude <= player.Data.MagnetReach.Value then
				canCollect = true
				break -- Can collect, break loop to prevent unneccessary checking
			end
		end
		
		if canCollect then -- If the player can collect the coins,
			local c = 0 -- Count of coins being collected. You'll see why below
			for i, drop in pairs(dropModel:GetChildren()) do -- Collect each!
				if drop:IsA("Part") and drop:FindFirstChild("Value") then
					local magnitude = (HumanoidRootPart.Position - drop.Position).Magnitude -- The magnitude relative to the coin
					local value = drop:WaitForChild("Value").Value
					local CurrencyName = drop:WaitForChild("CurrencyName").Value
					drop.CanCollide = false
					local tween = ts:Create(drop, TweenInfo.new(magnitude * 0.01, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0), {Position = HumanoidRootPart.Position})
					tween:Play()
					c += 1
					tween.Completed:Connect(function()
						c -= 1
						if c < 1 then -- Only once there are no more coins being animated, do we destroy the model. This is to make sure each tween completes properly and the player isn't scammed out of their coins!
							dropModel:Destroy()
						end
						
						rs:WaitForChild("GiveCurrency"):FireServer(CurrencyName, value)
						drop:Destroy()
						rs:WaitForChild("Sounds").Collect:Play()
					end)
				end
			end
		end
	end

	task.wait()
end

Don’t know if it works, haven’t tested, please reply any errors, AAA

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 6:02pm

Ill test it!

Also, do i need to add a attribute to the part?

Omnoms_Forever · January 13, 2024, 6:04pm

To each coin individually, no. I parented the coins to models, so I just put the attribute on the model and got it from the model. Also just found a problem in the code, about to edit

If you mean whether you have to use attributes, no, but I find it easier

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 6:05pm

So if i just replace the scripts, it should work?

Omnoms_Forever · January 13, 2024, 6:08pm

I think so…

I hope so…

We’ll see, but yes it should work!

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 6:10pm

No, it doesnt work. my pc blew up so im messaging you on tablet.

JOKING" IT WORKS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Although the coins dont sprout out and spread out as much anymore.

Omnoms_Forever · January 13, 2024, 6:12pm

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

When you say they don’t spread out as much anymore, are they disappearing faster than they spread? If that’s the case, just change the cooldown in the drop script to make them last longer. I’m glad I could help! (First ever solution btw :D)

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 6:13pm

No, before they typically sprouted and spreaded out further, now it seems to be in a line.

When they spawned in, there were in a line

Omnoms_Forever · January 13, 2024, 6:21pm

Oh noes! I don’t think I changed that part of the script at all! I’ll see what I can do…

Oof, I don’t know… I can’t see what the issue could be… :o

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 6:26pm

Lol, i removed the solution just in case. Ill have a look myself

Scxiptifyz · January 13, 2024, 6:32pm

They use to shoot out the head and fall back down. seems like they just sit and fall of the head now

Omnoms_Forever · January 13, 2024, 6:35pm

Alright, made some changes to the solution, maybe try it now? Not sure if it’s fixed or not but worth it to test it

OHHH I think I know what it could be. I’ll try something
