Making Arrest system

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 10:39am

What do you want to achieve? I want to make system when someone puts charges example Evasion it changes the SentanceBox text to time which is listed on the script.
What is the issue? The issue is when you type anything in it it automatically changes the text to 450, also it doesn’t change the time what I want with different charges.
Here’s the videos: https://gyazo.com/16f71aecfe07ecf501b9808c31f6af2a, https://gyazo.com/3b44f545bdfc632d08bc2602eda1e331

What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve tried removing the "Local JailTimes = {} and changed example script.Parent.Parent.SentenceBox.Text = “450” so it has the text in it, put didn’t work out.

Script:

local JailTimes = {
EvasionCharge = 450;

Change it to

JailTimes["EvasionCharge"]

I don’t use dictionaries a lot so I might be wrong, tell me if it helps.

RobertAstria:

script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.Text == "Flight from a peace officer" or "Evasion" then
		wait(1)
		script.Parent.Parent.SentenceBox.Text = JailTimes.EvasionCharge
	elseif script.Parent.Text == "Treason" then
		wait(1)
		script.Parent.Parent.SentenceBox.Text = JailTimes.TreasonCharge
    elseif script.Parent.Text == "High Treason" then 
		wait(1)
		script.Parent.Parent.SentenceBox.Text = JailTimes.RiotCharge

Instead of all these if statements you can simply do

local textBox = script.Parent

textBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed)
    if enterPressed then
        if JailTimes[textBox.Text] then
            textBox.Parent.SentenceBox.Text = JailTimes[textBox.Text]
        end
    end
end)

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 11:07am

That doesn’t change the text, I like your idea but it’s not working

ZOMBEIVEroblox · May 2, 2021, 11:08am

Maybe replace

With tostring(JailTimes[textBox.Text])?

AWhale_OfATime · May 2, 2021, 11:10am

It is for me

Your whole script should look like:

local JailTimes = {
	EvasionCharge = 450;
	TreasonCharge = 1000;
	HighTreasonCharge = 1200;
	RiotCharge = 450;
	PiracyCharge = 450;
	HijackingCharge = 600;
	BombCharge = 500;
	CausingdisturbanceCharge = 100;
	CommonnuisanceCharge = 400;
	BriberyCharge = 500;
	CourtOrder = 500;
	Resisting = 450;
	Personating = 300;
	ObstructingJ = 300;
	Publicmischief = 450;
	Prisonbreach = 600;
	Criminalnegligence = 450;
	Firstdegreemurder = 600;
	Seconddegreemurder = 550;
	AttemtedMurder = 550;
	Manslaughter = 500;
	Criminalharassment = 300;
	Utteringthreats = 300;
	Assault = 450;
	Aggravatedassault = 500;
	Kidnapping = 450;	
	Dangerousoperation  = 350;
	flightcahrge = 600;
	FailureStop = 450;
	Theft = 350;
	MotorTheft = 450;	
	Robbery = 450;
	Breakingentering = 450;
	Trespassing = 400;
	Mischief = 350;
	Arson = 600;
	DischargingFirearm = 500;
	Carelessuseofafirearm = 300;
	PointingFirearm = 400;
	Unauthorizedpossession = 400;
	Attempttocommitanoffence = 400;
	Solicitationtocommitanoffence = 300;	
	Conspiracytocommitanoffence = 300;	
	Conspiracytocommitamurder = 450;
	Aidingandabetting = 300;
	Operatingbusinesswolicense = 350 
}

local textBox = script.Parent

textBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed)
	if enterPressed then
		if JailTimes[textBox.Text] then
			textBox.Parent.SentenceBox.Text = JailTimes[textBox.Text]
		end
	end
end)

ZOMBEIVEroblox · May 2, 2021, 11:12am

Or this:

local sentence = JailTimes[textBox.Text]
if sentence then
    sentenceBox.Text = tostring(sentence)
end

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 11:23am

It gives this error

ZOMBEIVEroblox · May 2, 2021, 11:24am

Hmm… Can you show how you are defining SentenceBox in your script?

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 11:24am

Yes I am
local sentenceBox = script.Parent.Parent.SentenceBox

ZOMBEIVEroblox · May 2, 2021, 11:26am

And is your explorer the same as shown in the script?

If it is then try using WaitForChild.

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 11:26am

yeah it’s

ZOMBEIVEroblox · May 2, 2021, 11:28am

That’s weird.

It IS a ‘member of Frame’.

I honestly have no idea what’s causing this error.

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 11:28am

so like
local sentenceBox = script.Parent.Parent.WaitForChild(SentenceBox)

ZOMBEIVEroblox · May 2, 2021, 11:29am

No,

script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("SentenceBox")

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 11:29am

I just noticed that, so yea, lemme test it

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 11:34am

Still doesn’t work, no errors or anything

ZOMBEIVEroblox · May 2, 2021, 11:37am

Did you try what AWhale_OfATime said?

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 11:37am

Yeah I tried it, didn’t work out

Rubertz · May 2, 2021, 11:42am

Actually it works, but what I can do when theres 2 word things like Attemted Murder, what i can do with them?
