Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

Cant i just use string values called ActionBar that will have the interaction text inside the tool?

#22

preferably use int values, and substract how much you want when the ui is pressed

#23

how do i make the action bar script know that something was interacted?

#24

i just said it like 3 times, remote events

#25

Change the Text property of the TextLabel or TextButton.

#26

but i will need to script a lot bc the remote event dont transfer description of the interacted item.

#27

You don’t have to write everything in one script. BindableEvents or by using Modules you can have a function be reachable across multiple scripts.

Then in a script inside your Tool, you can check if the tool is equipped via Tool.Equipped and Tool.Unequipped and combine it with what I told you in my previous post.

Hope my answer could help further!

#28

cringe, jk but remote events are easier, though you are correct.

#29

Um but i dont know how to use module scripts.

#30

then learn them,btw modul scripts arent necessary but they save time and lines
also he suggested using bindable events which is better

#31

Like the guy above said, learn them.

#32

here’s the post by roblox about modul scripts :
ModuleScript | Roblox Creator Documentation

#33

Or use a Event System, with either RemoteEvents or BindableEvents which are, I think, in your case a little bit easier, though modules aren’t too hard either.

#34

But its possible in module scripts to make it detect which tool was interacted?

#35

Yes, yes it is. Please learn them, so you can answer these questions for yourself. It’ll also help you a load in the long run. :heart:

You probably need to learn basic scripting before you try to make any sort of game like this. Even that action bar is a stretch by the looks of it.

Module Scripts are not too hard to learn and Roblox has a great guide for them too. In very short. modules are storages for your values and functions. You could check inside a LocalScript if your Player interacted with a Tool and then execute a function inside a Module, which does the rest.

#38 
local action = {
	["Pizza"] = {
		["Text"] = "You eated a slice of pizza. It tastes great."
	}
}
return action

this is what i need to do? wait how do i make the local script detect that the tool is a pizza and the text?

Like everyone’s recommended, learn basic scripting before you try and do any of this. The knowledge will all flow in time.

#40

But i can use Roblox Generative AI.
