How to detect the value of a stringValue?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Well, I recently made a datastore, but it runs for all players, and the title came to mind, the value of the string value, change the stringValue for other scripts, for example, the value is “High”, the script detects that value, and does its function, and if it comes out “Medium”, it does a different function

#2

What do you need help with in regards to this?

#3

I need it to detect a function between the three and run the script

#4

Do you need help in some kind of script, for example if the Value “G” was triggered, you need to detect it?

#5

Yes, but I’m wrong, instead of “G” It is High, Medium, Low, It depends on the previous three, part of the script will be executed

#6

If you are trying to detect a player if they are triggering that Value, well possibly you can find a way to detect it, by using the String Value, or others. (If I’m incorrect, I’m deeply sorry as I’m just like 3 month in Roblox Studio.)

HAHAHA, I’ve been in roblox studio for 3 years and I hardly learned anything, But hey, I mean a StringValue

#8

To get the value of a string value do: StringValueObject.Value

Edit: Here is a sample if statement.

if StringValueObject.Value == "High" then

Hey, it doesn’t work, is there a bug?

local StringValueObject = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Graficos"):WaitForChild("Shadow")
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

if StringValueObject.Value == "Bajo" then
	Lighting.GlobalShadows = false
	Lighting.ShadowSoftness = 1
	for _, item in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if item:IsA("PointLight") then 
			item.Shadows = false
			item.Brightness = 0.35
		end
	end
end

if StringValueObject.Value == "Medio" then

	Lighting.GlobalShadows = true
	Lighting.ShadowSoftness = 0.5
	for _, item in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if item:IsA("PointLight") then 
			item.Shadows = false
			item.Brightness = 0.35
		end
	end
end

if StringValueObject.Value == "Alto" then
	Lighting.GlobalShadows = true
	Lighting.ShadowSoftness = 0.1
	for _, item in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if item:IsA("PointLight") then 
			item.Shadows = true
			item.Brightness = 0.75
		end
	end
end

Is this a server script or a local script?

#11

It’s a Local Script, if it’s a normal one, it runs for everyone and I just want it to run for just one

#12

Are any of the values lowercase, keep in mind the if statements are case sensitive. Also is there any errors being logged in the output/F9 console and have you tried simple debugging?

#13

You would have to use the.changed event to detect when it changed:

local StringValueObject = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Graficos"):WaitForChild("Shadow")
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

StringValueObject.Changed:Connect(function()

if StringValueObject.Value == "Bajo" then
	Lighting.GlobalShadows = false
	Lighting.ShadowSoftness = 1
	for _, item in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if item:IsA("PointLight") then 
			item.Shadows = false
			item.Brightness = 0.35
		end
	end
end

if StringValueObject.Value == "Medio" then

	Lighting.GlobalShadows = true
	Lighting.ShadowSoftness = 0.5
	for _, item in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if item:IsA("PointLight") then 
			item.Shadows = false
			item.Brightness = 0.35
		end
	end
end

if StringValueObject.Value == "Alto" then
	Lighting.GlobalShadows = true
	Lighting.ShadowSoftness = 0.1
	for _, item in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if item:IsA("PointLight") then 
			item.Shadows = true
			item.Brightness = 0.75
		end
	end
end

end)
