I got this script sorted out, but I have another issue I want to address
Is this script server-sided or client-sided?
(The goal of this script is to change the speed of multiple particles using a SliderGui, which I have set up. I want it to be server-sided so others can see the change in speed while keeping the slider only on my screen)
-- Static variables
-- -- UI-related
local slider : GuiObject = script.Parent.Bar
local knob : TextButton = slider:FindFirstChild("Knob") :: TextButton
local previousSliderValue = 0
local sliderValue = 0 -- A multiplier between 0 to 1.
-- -- Target-related
local fountains = {
workspace.RingBTMCenter.Fountain1.cannon.core.fountain,
workspace.RingBTMCenter.Fountain2.cannon.core.fountain,
workspace.RingBTMCenter.Fountain3.cannon.core.fountain,
workspace.RingBTMCenter.Fountain4.cannon.core.fountain,
workspace.RingBTMCenter.Fountain5.cannon.core.fountain,
workspace.RingBTMCenter.Fountain6.cannon.core.fountain,
workspace.RingBTMCenter.Fountain7.cannon.core.fountain,
workspace.RingBTMCenter.Fountain8.cannon.core.fountain
}
local speedRange = Vector2.new(0, 90) -- Set the minimum and maximum speed here. (MinimumValue, MaximumValue)
-- -- Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
-- -- Dynamic variables
local mousePositionOnClick = Vector2.zero -- Starting from the point where the mouse clicked.
local mousePositionOnMove = Vector2.zero -- Updates every mouse move.
local trackingConnection : RBXScriptConnection
local isTrackingMouse = false
local isMouseOverKnob = false
-- Functions
-- -- A linear interpolation (Lerp) function for speed.
local function GetNewSpeed(Value : number) : number
return speedRange.X + (speedRange.Y - speedRange.X) * math.clamp(Value, 0, 1)
end
-- -- Slides with the mouse.
local function UpdateSlider(Value : number)
knob.Position = UDim2.new( -- Retain most of its position minus X.Scale.
UDim.new(Value, knob.Position.X.Offset),
knob.Position.Y
)
end
-- -- Get the "delta" between the initial position of click to the current mouse position.
local function GetDelta()
return mousePositionOnMove - mousePositionOnClick
end
-- -- Start tracking the mouse upon pressing.
local function StartTrackingMouse()
if isTrackingMouse then
return
end
mousePositionOnClick = UserInputService:GetMouseLocation() -- Set initial mouse position.
trackingConnection = UserInputService.InputChanged:Connect(function(Input)
if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
local barCurrentSize = slider.AbsoluteSize.X
mousePositionOnMove = UserInputService:GetMouseLocation()
local delta = GetDelta()
local scaleOffset = delta.X / barCurrentSize
local newPosition = math.clamp(previousSliderValue + scaleOffset, 0, 1)
sliderValue = newPosition
for i, fountains in pairs(fountains) do
fountains.Speed = NumberRange.new(GetNewSpeed(newPosition))
end
UpdateSlider(newPosition)
-- This just updates the textbutton's text. You can remove this safely if you don't use a textbutton, or you just don't want text.
knob.Text = tostring(math.floor((newPosition * 100)) / 100)
end
end)
previousSliderValue = sliderValue
isTrackingMouse = true
end
-- Stop tracking the mouse upon user releasing it.
local function StopTrackingMouse()
if not isTrackingMouse then
return
end
trackingConnection:Disconnect()
isTrackingMouse = false
end
knob.MouseButton1Down:Connect(StartTrackingMouse)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input)
if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
StopTrackingMouse()
end
end)
If it is client-sided, how can it become server-sided
(I assume with remote events or other methods)
