Hello there!
I made a tool that can pause time, however, when players die, they can pause time again.
Pausing time worked through Remote Events, so I tried searching online how to stop a remote event and nothing seemed to work. I don’t really know anything about Event:Disconnect() because I’m a terrible scripter.
Could someone please help me?!?!?!?!
If you don’t mind how is the pause time event fired?
RemoteEvent:
game.ReplicatedStorage.SpaceAbility.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, player)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.Enabled = true
local COClone = game.ReplicatedStorage.CoolOrb
local OMGClone = game.Workspace.OhMyGod:Clone()
local PTClone = game.Workspace.TimeStop:Clone()
OMGClone.Parent = workspace
PTClone.Parent = workspace
OMGClone.Name = workspace.OhMyGod.Name.."Clone"
PTClone.Name = workspace.TimeStop.Name.."Clone"
OMGClone:Play()
wait(1.6)
PTClone:Play()
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and v.Parent.Name ~= player.Name and v.ClassName == "MeshPart" then
v.Anchored = true
end
end
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and v.Parent.Name ~= player.Name and v.ClassName == "Part" then
v.Anchored = true
end
end
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "10"
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "9"
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "8"
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "7"
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "6"
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "5"
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "4"
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "3"
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "2"
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = "1"
wait(1)
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and v.Parent.Name ~= player.Name and v.ClassName == "MeshPart" then
v.Anchored = false
end
end
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and v.Parent.Name ~= player.Name and v.ClassName == "Part" then
v.Anchored = false
end
end
PTClone:Play()
PTClone.Ended:Wait()
PTClone:Destroy()
OMGClone:Destroy()
local countdown = 30
repeat wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = ""..countdown..""
print(countdown)
countdown -= 1
until
countdown <= -1
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.Enabled = false
end)
May I ask why you have 2 player variables being passed through to the remoteEvent?
For some reason, I tried working with plr but it didn’t work. Player did the trick.
Im calling the remote event from 2 ways:
For mobile:
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if (UserInputService.KeyboardEnabled) then
print("PC User")
else
player.PlayerGui.EnableSpaceAbilityMobileGUI.Enabled = true
end
The Gui fires the remote event.
For non-Mobile Players:
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then -- change the E to any key!
game.ReplicatedStorage.SpaceAbility:FireServer(player)
script.Disabled = true
wait(35)
player.PlayerGui.PressESpace.Disabled = false
end
end
end)
I’ve revised your code a bit in the process.
What I’ve done is add a health check to the players humanoid. If it is equal to zero, the ability won’t work.
Feel free to give this a try.
local function timeStop(character, state)
for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if v.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") ~= nil and not v:IsDescendantOf(character) then
if v.ClassName == "MeshPart" or v.ClassName == "Part" or v:IsA("BasePart") then
print(state)
v.Anchored = state
end
end
end
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.SpaceAbility.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local character = player.Character
if character == nil then return end
local humanFound = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if humanFound == nil then return end
if humanFound.Health <= 0 then return end
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.Enabled = true
local COClone = game.ReplicatedStorage.CoolOrb
local OMGClone = game.Workspace.OhMyGod:Clone()
local PTClone = game.Workspace.TimeStop:Clone()
OMGClone.Name = workspace.OhMyGod.Name.."Clone"
PTClone.Name = workspace.TimeStop.Name.."Clone"
OMGClone.Parent = workspace
PTClone.Parent = workspace
OMGClone:Play()
task.wait(1.6)
PTClone:Play()
timeStop(character, true)
for looping = 10, 1, -1 do
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = tostring(looping)
task.wait(1)
end
timeStop(character, false)
PTClone:Play()
PTClone.Ended:Wait()
PTClone:Destroy()
OMGClone:Destroy()
local countdown = 30
repeat
task.wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount.Text = ""..countdown..""
print(countdown)
countdown -= 1
until countdown <= -1
player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.Enabled = false
end)

it doesnt work. and i know what your trying to do, but my game is pretty much like slap battles. when you die, you lose your tools and you get them back by going back to the arena.
Just check the humanoid’s health inside the callback function connected to the ‘RemoteEvent’ object.
local function OnRemoteFired(Player) --Remote receives player object argument.
local Character = Player.Character --Get character from player.
if not Character then return end
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") --Get humanoid from character.
if not Humanoid then return end
if Humanoid.Health == 0 then return end --Check if humanoid's health is 0.
--Do code.
end
hi @SinClosed
server script
local cooldown=10
remoteEvent= game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent") or game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
for i=cooldown,0,-1 do
if i==0 then
remoteEvent:FireClient(plr)
end
remoteEvent:FireClient(plr,"cooldown",i)
wait(1)
end
end)
in local script add:
local script
local tool=script.Parent
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if debounce then return end
debounce=true
remoteEvent:FireServer()
end) --make sure you don't change the debounce here
remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(command,value)
if command=="cooldown" then
local AbilityCount= player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount
AbilityCount.Text=value
debounce=true
else
debounce=false
end
end)
fire to server from client
server receives the event signal
server counts down till 0 and and controls debounce
in-between countdowns, server fires (plr, commandName, value)
something like this…
is there no way to pause or stop an remote event?
local script
local tool=script.Parent
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if debounce then return end
debounce=true
remoteEvent:FireServer()
end) --make sure you don't change the debounce here
remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(cooldown)
for i=cooldown,0,-1 do
local AbilityCount= player.PlayerGui.AbilityGUI.AbilityMain.AbilityCount
AbilityCount.Text=value
wait(1)
end
debounce=false
end)
server script
local cooldown=10
remoteEvent= game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent") or game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local connection
function onServerEvent(plr)
connection:Disconnect()
remoteEvent:FireClient(plr,"cooldown")
wait(cooldown)
connection=remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onServerEvent)
end
connection=remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onServerEvent)
something like this should work…
what it does is
create a variable called “connection”
assign remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onServerEvent) as initial value
when the function is called
the function disconnect the event first [connection:Disconnect()] then continue with rest of the instruction provided
wait until cooldown fisnishes
then
assign a new value for the “connection” variable which is remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onServerEvent): which repeats the above steps infinitely
