How to make a script stop running after the button is pressed?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

This script opens a camera view of a place in the game, and stays that way until a button is pressed, which returns it to the normal camera. However, I want the gui to only show up once, so resetonspawn is off. However, this script still changes the view, so how do I stop the script from running after the first button press? I have tried script.parent.localscript:destroy() and script.parent.localscript.disabled = true.

wait(1); -- Wait for the camera to load

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera;
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;
Camera.CFrame = workspace.CameraPos.CFrame;
game.Workspace.Futuristic:Play()
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer;

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false;
	wait(0.1);
	local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, true)
	workspace.CurrentCamera.Blur.Enabled = false	
	Camera.CameraSubject = Player.Character.Humanoid;
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom;
	Camera.CFrame = Player.Character.Head.CFrame;
game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui'):SetTopbarTransparency(0)
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.NewButtonSelection.Enabled = true;
	game.Workspace.Futuristic:Stop()
	script.Parent.LocalScript.Disabled = true
end)

Just add a debounce like so

local Pressed = false
if Pressed == false then
--[[ Your code here ]]
end
Pressed = true

Or, if you really want to destroy it, then you can just do this after your code

script:Destroy()

The problem you are having is that the name of the script is not “localscript” and is probabaly “LocalScript”, Lua is case sensitive.

It is the correct case, I was too lazy to type it out into the post here lol. I’ll try ```
script:Destroy()

#4

Ok, and if that doesn’t work you can try a debounce, because that 100% work.

Does pressed count for gui buttons or only clickdetectors?

#6

This is just a simple if gate that will only allow the code inside to run once.

Well, it should be used like this:

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera;
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;
Camera.CFrame = workspace.CameraPos.CFrame;
game.Workspace.Futuristic:Play()
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local Pressed = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if Pressed == false then
script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false;
	wait(0.1);
	local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, true)
	workspace.CurrentCamera.Blur.Enabled = false	
	Camera.CameraSubject = Player.Character.Humanoid;
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom;
	Camera.CFrame = Player.Character.Head.CFrame;
game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui'):SetTopbarTransparency(0)
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.NewButtonSelection.Enabled = true;
	game.Workspace.Futuristic:Stop()
	script.Parent.LocalScript.Disabled = true
        Pressed = true
end

Just disable the script like this

script.Enabled = false

If it doesn’t work then just type script.Disabled = true

#9

I tried it both ways but it didn’t work.

#10

Yeah but it would not change pressed to true since it already stopped working so I would recommend disabling it at the end of the line

Yes there is a Disabled Property, but it is bad practice to disabled a script running in game, just what I’ve heard. (Can cause weird things to happen)

#12

Then just destroy the script or add wait(math.huge)

#13

I tried script:Destroy() but that didn’t work either.

#14

You shouldn’t add a wait to stop a script. You should stop a script properly or add a simple debounce.

#15

Ok then do script.Parent.Script.Disabled = true if your script is named Script

#16

I tried that as well and nothing happened either.

#17

What do you mean it didn’t work? How do you know its gone?

#18

The script still runs when they respawn.

#19

How about you check the script’s property in game

:man_facepalming: That’s because it is in StarterCharacterScripts right? Well in that case you should probably move to starter player scripts.
