I have this working text system however, if the same text label appears any amount of times, it clutters the screen. I want to know how to make it so that when a duplicate appears, it says “Message” (x2) or (x3) and beyond depending on the amount of duplicates.
Could anyone give me an example?
local Notify = {}
function Notify.CreateNewLabel(text, color)--module script
task.spawn(function()
local label = script.Parent.Preset:Clone()
local stroke = label:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("UIStroke")
label.Name = "Active"
script.Parent.Click:Play()
label.Parent = script.Parent.Text
label.Text = text
label.TextColor3 = color
for count = 20, 0, -1 do
label.TextTransparency -= 0.1
stroke.Transparency -= 0.1
task.wait(0.05)
end
task.wait(3)
for count2 = 20, 0, -1 do
label.TextTransparency += 0.1
stroke.Transparency += 0.1
task.wait(0.05)
end
task.wait(0.5)
label:Destroy()
end)
end
return Notify
The frame uses a UIListLayout to make sure the text labels don’t go inside of eachother.
You can add a counter for each text label that is created and increment it every time a label with the same text is created. You can then use this counter to append “(x2)”, “(x3)”, etc. to the text of the label if the counter is greater than 1.
You can use a table counters to keep track of the number of times each text label has been created. When a new text label is created, you can increment the corresponding count in the counters table, and use the count value to display the number of duplicates.
local Notify = {}
local counters = {}
function Notify.CreateNewLabel(text, color)
local count = counters[text] or 0
counters[text] = count + 1
local label = script.Parent.Preset:Clone()
local stroke = label:FindFirstChild("UIStroke")
label.Name = "Active"
script.Parent.Click:Play()
label.Parent = script.Parent.Text
if count > 0 then
label.Text = text .. " (x" .. (count + 1) .. ")"
else
label.Text = text
end
label.TextColor3 = color
label.TextTransparency = 1
local function fadeIn()
for i = 1, 20 do
label.TextTransparency = label.TextTransparency - 0.05
stroke.Transparency = stroke.Transparency - 0.05
wait(0.05)
end
end
local function fadeOut()
for i = 1, 20 do
label.TextTransparency = label.TextTransparency + 0.05
stroke.Transparency = stroke.Transparency + 0.05
wait(0.05)
end
label:Destroy()
counters[text] = count
end
fadeIn()
wait(3)
fadeOut()
end
return Notify
here’s an updated version of the code, lmk if it works.
local Notify = {}
local messageCount = {}
function Notify.CreateNewLabel(text, color)
if messageCount[text] == nil then
messageCount[text] = 0
end
messageCount[text] = messageCount[text] + 1
task.spawn(function()
local label
if messageCount[text] == 1 then
label = script.Parent.Preset:Clone()
label.Name = "Active"
label.Parent = script.Parent.Text
else
label = script.Parent.Text:FindFirstChild("Active")
end
script.Parent.Click:Play()
local stroke = label:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("UIStroke")
label.Text = text .. " (x" .. messageCount[text] .. ")"
label.TextColor3 = color
for count = 20, 0, -1 do
label.TextTransparency -= 0.1
stroke.Transparency -= 0.1
task.wait(0.05)
end
task.wait(3)
for count2 = 20, 0, -1 do
label.TextTransparency += 0.1
stroke.Transparency += 0.1
task.wait(0.05)
end
messageCount[text] = messageCount[text] - 1
if messageCount[text] == 0 then
task.wait(0.5)
label:Destroy()
end
end)
end
return Notify
We’ve added a table messageCount to keep track of how many times a message has been displayed.
When Notify.CreateNewLabel is called its going to first check the messageCount table to see if a message with that text has already been displayed. If it hasn’t, a new label is created and its count is set to 1. If it has, the existing label is modified and its count is incremented. The count is appended to the label text so that you can see how many times the same message has been displayed.
At the end of the task, the count for that message is decremented, and if the count reaches 0, the label is destroyed.
