While coming across the creation of a “Circle Choice Table” I noticed that there is indeed a more effective way of doing so via string patterns, (Format maybe[?])
(I already have the necessary underlying components of this such as Remote events, click events, Remote functions etc)
What I am trying to do is:
When the player clicks on a left arrow button, a ChoiceIndex variable goes down by a ChoiceCurrent (In this case, -1 because we’re going backwards on the menu).
It works as usual when the ChoiceCurrent variable is any number above 0.
My question is, what would I have to do with strings in order to achieve the goal of this visualization?
There are only 4 choices on my screen, but if you click further left while on Choice 1, how would I make it revert to the maximum choice? (In this case 4?)
Here’s what I came up with so far, with some edits it could work
one for operators
local selected = script.Parent.selected
local array = {
1;
2;
3;
}
for _,operator in ipairs(script.Parent.operatorcontainer:GetChildren()) do
if operator.Name=="forward" then
operator.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
selected.Value = selected.Value + 1
for _,val in pairs(array) do
if table.find(array,selected.Value) then
operator.BackgroundColor3=Color3.new(12,123,31)--indicating it is selected
end
for numbers
local buttoncontainer = script.Parent.Frame
for _,button in ipairs(buttoncontainer:GetChildren()) do
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("You have selected" .. button.Name)
button.BackgroundColor3=Color3.new(82,255,151)
end)
end
*colors to indicate selection , apart from print, which works
Yes, Sadly I must admit I did overthink this entirely. D: I just logged back on right now and tried this before being able to look at it. My deepest apologies to all. D:
