How do i disable a module script using a local script (this went off topic, there is no actual solution for "disabling" a module script)

should i send code? ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

#22

im using the “rain plugin” but i made it disable and enable and used math.random to enable it at random timesㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

#23

Just give me the overall idea of your raining system

#24

i just want the thunder to disable when its not raining and enable thunder when its raining

#25

I think I get him now. He has a script that takes one of the many modules, and disables those which he doesn’t need, creating a randomizer rain system.

@Fyrex227 Correct if I am wrong, but it’s better if you sent the script - not the module, the Script.

Nevermind, I’m wrong.

I’m wrong, ignore this.

i got the thunder script from here Weather System [Open-Sourced] - Roblox ik it has a rain cycle system and stuff but i dont like the rain, i like the rain plugin more

#27

here is my rain script (it has modules inside the local script too)
local Rain = require(script.Rain)

local Snow = script.SnowScript

local SnowScript = require(Snow.Snow)

Snow.Disabled = false

local TweenService = game:GetService(“TweenService”)

local part = game.Workspace. Terrain.Clouds

Rain:SetColor(Color3.fromRGB(script.Color.Value.x, script.Color.Value.y, script.Color.Value.z))

Rain:SetDirection(script.Direction.Value)

Rain:SetTransparency(script.Transparency.Value)

Rain:SetSpeedRatio(script.SpeedRatio.Value)

Rain:SetIntensityRatio(script.IntensityRatio.Value)

Rain:SetLightInfluence(script.LightInfluence.Value)

Rain:SetLightEmission(script.LightEmission.Value)

Rain:SetVolume(script.Volume.Value)

Rain:SetSoundId(script.SoundId.Value)

Rain:SetStraightTexture(script.StraightTexture.Value)

Rain:SetTopDownTexture(script.TopDownTexture.Value)

Rain:SetSplashTexture(script.SplashTexture.Value)

local threshold = script.TransparencyThreshold.Value

if script.TransparencyConstraint.Value and script.CanCollideConstraint.Value then

Rain:SetCollisionMode(

Rain.CollisionMode.Function,

function(p)

return p.Transparency <= threshold and p.CanCollide

end

)

elseif script.TransparencyConstraint.Value then

Rain:SetCollisionMode(

Rain.CollisionMode.Function,

function(p)

return p.Transparency <= threshold

end

)

elseif script.CanCollideConstraint.Value then

Rain:SetCollisionMode(

Rain.CollisionMode.Function,

function(p)

return p.CanCollide

end

)

end

function RainEnable()

Snow.Disabled = true

Snow.Transparency.Value = 1

local goal = {}

goal.Density = 1

goal.Cover = 1

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5)

local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)

tween:Play()

task.wait(5) --how long u want it to start raining after the clouds have changed

Rain:Enable()

end

function RainDisable()

Snow.Disabled = false

Snow.Transparency.Value = 0

local goal = {}

goal.Density = 1

goal.Cover = 0.5

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5)

local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)

tween:Play()

Rain:Disable()

end

while true do

task.wait(15) --how long before it can rain again

if (math.random(1,2) == 1) then RainEnable()

SnowScript:Disable()

task.wait(10) --how long it will rain

Snow.Disabled = false

local goal = {}

goal.Density = 1

goal.Cover = 0.5

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5)

local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)

tween:Play()

Rain:Disable()

end

end

For this, use require(). You don’t really have to disable scripts for this since ModuleScripts will only run when required from a script.

Also please codeblock what you just sent. Wrap your code between ```.

#29

What do you mean “disable” a module script? A ModuleScript isn’t something you “disable”; once you require() it, everything in the module runs once, returning whatever it returns. If there’s a flag you wanna turn on/off inside the module, then I’d suggest doing that on the server without being asked to by the client; what’s the condition you want to handle for to disable the rain module?

this is the weather module and under it is the lighting spawner i think
here is weather module script:
local Lighting = game.Lighting
local TweenService = game:GetService(“TweenService”)
local Lightning = require(script.Lightning)

– Settings

local DayTimes = {
MinTime = 2;
MaxTime = 2;
}

local RainTimes = {
MinTime = 5;
MaxTime = 5;
}

local LightingStrikeTimes = {
MinTime = 5;
MaxTime = 5;
}

–

local Weather = {
FireDespawnTime = 20;
CurrentWeather = “Day”;
WeatherTimer = math.random(DayTimes.MinTime,DayTimes.MaxTime);
}

local TransitionTime = 12

local TweenFunction = function(Object,Goal,Time,EasingStyle,EasingDirection)
local Tween = TweenService:Create(
Object,
TweenInfo.new(
Time,
EasingStyle,
EasingDirection),
Goal)
spawn(function()
Tween:Play()
end)
end

EasingStyle = Enum.EasingStyle.Sine
EasingDirection = Enum.EasingDirection.Out

local RainLighting = {
Ambient = Color3.fromRGB(97, 106, 225);
Brightness = 1.48;
OutdoorAmbient = Color3.fromRGB(75, 98, 202);
FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(67, 83, 245);
FogEnd = 500;
}

local DayLighting = {
Ambient = Color3.fromRGB(255, 216, 168);
Brightness = 2.2;
OutdoorAmbient = Color3.fromRGB(156, 158, 214);
FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(165, 160, 245);
FogEnd = 2900;
}

local ChangeWeather = function(WeatherName,WeatherTable,OpositeWeatherName,WeatherLightingTable)
Weather.CurrentWeather = WeatherName
Weather.WeatherTimer = math.random( WeatherTable.MinTime, WeatherTable.MaxTime )
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Events.WeatherChanged:FireAllClients(WeatherName,WeatherTable,OpositeWeatherName,WeatherLightingTable)
end

function Weather:Rain()
if Weather.CurrentWeather ~= “Rain” then
ChangeWeather(“Rain”,RainTimes,“Day”,RainLighting)
end
end

function Weather:Day()
if Weather.CurrentWeather ~= “Day” then
ChangeWeather(“Day”,DayTimes,“Rain”,DayLighting)
end
end

game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Functions.RequestWeatherData.OnServerInvoke = function()

local var2 = nil
local var3 = nil
local Lighting_1 = nil

if Weather.CurrentWeather == "Day" then
	var2 = DayTimes
	var3 = "Rain"
	Lighting_1 = DayLighting
else
	var2 = RainTimes
	var3 = "Day"
	Lighting_1 = RainLighting
end

return Weather.CurrentWeather,var2,var3,Lighting_1

end

Weather.StartCycle = function()

local function FireLightning()
	while true do
		task.wait()
		if Weather.CurrentWeather == "Rain" then
			task.wait(math.random(LightingStrikeTimes.MinTime,LightingStrikeTimes.MaxTime))
			if Weather.CurrentWeather == "Rain" then
				spawn(Lightning.Strike)
				game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Events.ImpactExplosion:FireAllClients("Lightning")
			end
		end
	end
end

local function WeatherCycle()
	while true do
		task.wait(1)
		Weather.WeatherTimer = Weather.WeatherTimer - 1
		if Weather.WeatherTimer <= 0 then
			if Weather.CurrentWeather == "Day" then
				Weather:Rain()
			else
				Weather:Rain()
			end
		end
	end
end

coroutine.wrap(WeatherCycle)()
coroutine.wrap(FireLightning)()

end

Weather.StartCycle()

return Weather

This is gonna be hard to read without codeblock…

#32

as u can see it has the “rain” thing but i made the rain transparent cus i like the rain plugin’s rain more

#33

Please answer my question, I don’t wanna be given code, I’d much prefer to help using words. So your goal is to disable the rain because your character is under shelter?

#34

no i want to disable the thunder and enable the thunder when it rains

#35

Sure. How do you know when it’s raining?

#36

using my rain script ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

#37

i use “math.random” and a timer

#38

thats why i wanna disable it somehow by adding a function in my rain cycle script

#39

Which code block is the thunder in?

this is how it looks, lighting wont work without “weather”
