I want to change a loading bar’s size depending on how much things have loaded into the game.
The problem is that the loading bar isn’t changing size at all in the script.
I tried setting the size to 0 and to 100 inside the script but it doesn’t work, however when I change it in ReplicatedFirst the size changes to what I changed it to perfectly.
for i, assetsToLoad in assets do
contentprovider:PreloadAsync({assetsToLoad})
local value = i/maxassets
value = value * 100
value = math.floor(value)
ui:WaitForChild("Frame1"):WaitForChild("Percent").Text = value.."%"
ui:WaitForChild("Frame1"):WaitForChild("TextLabel").Text = i.."/"..maxassets
script.Loading.Frame1.Frame2.FinishBar.Size = UDim2.new(value/100,0,1,0)
end
If anybody knows what might be the problem I would be grateful!
To iterate through tables in lua, you use for index, value in pairs(table) do.
Unrelated to your question, I suggest using :WaitForChild() only once as a variable. Continuously calling it can be inefficient since the script will repeatedly search for the child.
I take it that the largest size for FinishBar is Udim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0), if so, you can directly place the ratio inside it. Here’s an updated code:
local percent = ui:WaitForChild("Frame1"):WaitForChild("Percent")
local textLabel = ui:WaitForChild("Frame1"):WaitForChild("TextLabel")
for i, assetsToLoad in ipairs(assets) do
local ratio = index / #maxassets
contentprovider:PreloadAsync({assetsToLoad})
percent.Text = `{math.floor((ratio) * 100)}%`
textLabel.Text = i.."/".. #maxassets
script.Loading.Frame1.Frame2.FinishBar.Size = UDim2.new(ratio,0,1,0)
end
Let me know if you still have any issues or have any questions, I hope this helps!
Of course!
Here is the complete code I have currently:
local contentprovider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local ui = script:WaitForChild("Loading"):Clone()
local sound = rs:WaitForChild("LoadingScreenReload")
repeat wait() until game:IsLoaded()
local assets = game:GetDescendants()
local maxassets = #assets
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrgui = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local percent = ui:WaitForChild("Frame1"):WaitForChild("Percent")
local textLabel = ui:WaitForChild("Frame1"):WaitForChild("TextLabel")
ui.Parent = plrgui
for i, assetsToLoad in ipairs(assets) do
contentprovider:PreloadAsync({assetsToLoad})
local ratio = i/maxassets
value = ratio * 100
value = math.floor(value)
percent.Text = value.."%"
textLabel.Text = i.."/"..maxassets
script.Loading.Frame1.Frame2.FinishBar.Size = UDim2.new(ratio,0,0.8,0)
end
After recreating the setup from your attached image, I have now fixed the issue for you. The code is slightly different from what I originally showed you, so feel free to ask if you have any questions about it
local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local ui = script.ScreenGui
local assets = game:GetDescendants()
local frame2 = ui:WaitForChild("Frame1"):WaitForChild("Frame2")
local percent = frame2:WaitForChild("Percent")
local textLabel = frame2:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
local loadingBar = frame2.FinishBar
for i, assetsToLoad in ipairs(assets) do
local ratio = i / #assets
ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({assetsToLoad})
percent.Text = `{math.floor((ratio) * 100)}%`
textLabel.Text = i.."/".. #assets
loadingBar.Size = UDim2.new(ratio,0,1,0)
end
