hello im trying to make a notification that tellls the player there are flashing lights and it gives them to option to turn it off.

im creating a new folder inside of player with the values 1,2 which tell the lights to flash or not.
im trying to change that value inside of the textbutton when clicked.

  • heres the scripts:

script to button:

local click = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local click = not click

	if click == true then
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.SettingsFolder:WaitForChild("FlickeringLights").Value = 2
		script.Parent.Text = "Turned Off"
		script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 115)
	elseif click == false then
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.SettingsFolder:WaitForChild("FlickeringLights").Value = 1
		script.Parent.Text = "Turned On"
		script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
	end
end)

script to the value creator located in scriptstorage

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local SettingsFolder = Instance.new("Folder")

SettingsFolder.Name = "SettingsFolder"

SettingsFolder.Parent = plr

local FlickeringLights = Instance.new("IntValue")

FlickeringLights.Name = "FlickeringLights"

FlickeringLights.Parent = SettingsFolder

FlickeringLights.Value = 1

end)

end)

script to lights

local light = script.Parent.PointLight
local part = script.Parent
local disabled = light.Brightness
local Light = light.Range
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.SettingsFolder:WaitForChild("FlickeringLights").Value = 1 then
while true do 
		wait()
		disabled = 0.2 light.Brightness = 0.2 part.Material = "Neon"
		wait(math.random(0.6, 0.8))
		disabled = 0 light.Brightness = 0 part.Material = "Glass"
		wait(math.random(0.6, 0.8))
	disabled = 0.2 light.Brightness = 0.2 part.Material = "Neon"
		wait(math.random(0.6, 0.8))
	disabled = 0 light.Brightness = 0 part.Material = "Glass"
		wait(math.random(0.6, 0.8))
	disabled = 0.2 light.Brightness = 0.2 part.Material = "Neon"
	wait(math.random(1, 3))
	disabled = 0 light.Brightness = 0 part.Material = "Glass"
		wait(math.random(0.6, 0.8))
	disabled = 0.2 light.Brightness = 0.2 part.Material = "Neon"
wait(math.random(0.6, 0.8))
	end

Ya mean Creating a Count Statement?

#3

yea how do i “Create a count statment?”

#4

Instead of inserting a folder on player insert a bool value into the flashlight, then when this value is true, flashlight turns on

#5

im going to have like 50 lights that flash. would it be For i,v in pairs and loop thro to see if its name flshing light etc?

#6

can i do that in a local script as well? i want it to only apply to that one person

#7

OK so i added a bool value into pointlight. do i do this? if script.Parent == true then in the light script

#8 
if script.Parent == true then
-- Flashlight turned on here
script.Parent = false
elseif script.Parent == false then
 -- Flashlight turned off here
script.Parent = true

I think you’re not understanding

you just need 1 value, and when player clicks, you’ll set the value to true and then flashlight turns on

#11

If Gui is clicked then and can only seen by one person(local script)
Use Bindable Function

that articles example isnt related to my quiry

#17

You still don’t need a folder add the value in starter player, so if this value is true all lights will flick, else lights will not flick
