the long way:
make it so like if you have one title equip, it makes all the other title be unequipped ( through a script )
the short way:
there is no short way

how would i do it in a script is my is question

Ioveczour · February 8, 2021, 1:18am

An easy way to do it is put bool values named “Equipped” in the buttons, and then when you equip them it sets the bool value to true, and the other way around.

Before you go doing this, please show me the script.

which script?

Ioveczour · February 8, 2021, 1:20am

The button script_________________________

ok here

local cost = 5
local titleVal = Instance.new("StringValue")
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
if player:WaitForChild("Check")[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == true then
	script.Parent.Text = "Equip"
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	if player.Check[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == true then
		if script.Parent.Text == "Equip" then
			wait(1)
			script.Parent.Text = "Equipped"
			player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Name
			player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.TextColor3 = Color3.new(script.Parent.Parent.BackgroundColor3)
			player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.LocalScript.Disabled = true
			player.EquippedTitle.Value = script.parent.Parent.Name
			wait()
			script.Parent.Text = "Unequip"
		else
				if script.Parent.Text == "Unequip" then
					wait()
				player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.Text = "Guest"
				player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.TextColor3 = Color3.new(218, 218, 218)
				player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.LocalScript.Disabled = true
				player.EquippedTitle.Value = ""
					script.Parent.Text = "Equip"
			end
		end
	end
end)	

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if player.leaderstats.Wins.Value >= cost then
		if player:WaitForChild("Check")[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == false then
		player.leaderstats.Wins.Value = player.leaderstats.Wins.Value - cost

		wait()
		script.Parent.Text = "Bought"
		titleVal.Name = script.Parent.Parent.Name

		wait()
		script.Parent.Text = "Equip"

		print("You bought this title")
		player.Check[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value = true
		
		end end end)

In a few minutes I will be back to help

NotZylon · February 8, 2021, 1:21am

alrighty

Ioveczour · February 8, 2021, 1:45am

Alright. So create a bool value named “Equipped” in all of the buttons

NotZylon · February 8, 2021, 1:51am

Alright i added the values into the buttons

IceTheOneAndOnly · February 8, 2021, 1:54am

and make it so if you equip one title, change equipped to true for that title, and equipped to false for all other titles

kylerzong · February 8, 2021, 2:06am

local Buttons = {
	{
		["Instance"] = script.Parent.A,
		["Equipped"] = false,
		["EquipFunction"] = function(_self)
			print("Equipping A")
			_self.Equipped = true
		end,
		["UnequipFunction"] = function(_self)
			print("Unequipping A")
			_self.Equipped = false
		end
	},
	{
		["Instance"] = script.Parent.B,
		["Equipped"] = false,
		["EquipFunction"] = function(_self)
			print("Equipping B")
			_self.Equipped = true
		end,
		["UnequipFunction"] = function(_self)
			print("Unequipping B")
			_self.Equipped = false
		end
	}
}


local function Unequip(Button)
	if Button.Equipped then
		Button.UnequipFunction(Button)
	end
	return
end
local function Equip(Button)
	if not Button.Equipped then
		Button.EquipFunction(Button)
	end
	return
end


for Index, Button in pairs(Buttons) do
	Button.Instance.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		if Button.Instance.Text == "Equip" then
			Equip(Button)
			Button.Instance.Text = "Unequip"
			for _, _Button in pairs(Buttons) do
				if _Button ~= Button then
					_Button.Instance.Text = "Equip"
					Unequip(_Button)
				end
			end
		else
			Button.Instance.Text = "Equip"
			Unequip(Button)
		end
	end)
end

where would i put that script?

kylerzong · February 8, 2021, 2:10am

Under the same parent as your buttons, download the place file I attached to the reply

Ioveczour · February 8, 2021, 2:16am

You don't have to write a whole new script

local cost = 5
local titleVal = Instance.new("StringValue")
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
if player:WaitForChild("Check")[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == true then
	script.Parent.Text = "Equip"
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	if player.Check[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == true then
		if script.Parent.Text == "Equip" then
			wait(1)
			script.Parent.Text = "Equipped"
			player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Name
			player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.TextColor3 = Color3.new(script.Parent.Parent.BackgroundColor3)
			player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.LocalScript.Disabled = true
			player.EquippedTitle.Value = script.parent.Parent.Name
			wait()
			for i, text in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do local first = text:FindFirstChildOfClass("TextLabel") if first then first:FindFirstChildOfClass("TextButton").Text = "Equip" end
				script.Parent.Text = "Unequip"
			end
		else
			if script.Parent.Text == "Unequip" then
				wait()
				player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.Text = "Guest"
				player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.TextColor3 = Color3.new(218, 218, 218)
				player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.LocalScript.Disabled = true
				player.EquippedTitle.Value = ""
				script.Parent.Text = "Equip"
			end end
		end
	end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if player.leaderstats.Wins.Value >= cost then
		if player:WaitForChild("Check")[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == false then
			player.leaderstats.Wins.Value = player.leaderstats.Wins.Value - cost

			wait()
			script.Parent.Text = "Bought"
			titleVal.Name = script.Parent.Parent.Name

			wait()
			script.Parent.Text = "Equip"

			print("You bought this title")
			player.Check[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value = true

		end
	end
end)

it still lets me equip everything

Ioveczour · February 8, 2021, 2:25am

@NotZylon

This should be the final fix

local cost = 5
local titleVal = Instance.new("StringValue")
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
if player:WaitForChild("Check")[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == true then
	script.Parent.Text = "Equip"
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	if player.Check[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == true then
		if script.Parent.Text == "Equip" then
			wait(1)
			script.Parent.Text = "Equipped"
			player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.Text = script.Parent.Parent.Name
			player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.TextColor3 = Color3.new(script.Parent.Parent.BackgroundColor3)
			player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.LocalScript.Disabled = true
			player.EquippedTitle.Value = script.parent.Parent.Name
			wait()
			for i, text in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do local first = text:FindFirstChildOfClass("TextButton") if first then if player:WaitForChild("Check")[tostring(first.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == true then first.Text = "Equip" end
				script.Parent.Text = "Unequip"
			end end
		else
			if script.Parent.Text == "Unequip" then
				wait()
				player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.Text = "Guest"
				player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.TextColor3 = Color3.new(218, 218, 218)
				player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").NameTag.LowerText.LocalScript.Disabled = true
				player.EquippedTitle.Value = ""
				script.Parent.Text = "Equip"
			end end
		end
	end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if player.leaderstats.Wins.Value >= cost then
		if player:WaitForChild("Check")[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value == false then
			player.leaderstats.Wins.Value = player.leaderstats.Wins.Value - cost

			wait()
			script.Parent.Text = "Bought"
			titleVal.Name = script.Parent.Parent.Name

			wait()
			script.Parent.Text = "Equip"

			print("You bought this title")
			player.Check[tostring(script.Parent.Parent.Name)].Value = true

		end
	end
end)
