Problem With Changing BillboardGui Adornee Part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I’m trying to change the adornee of a billboard GUI (which is in the PlayerGui) to the part that you click on, but it doesn’t work properly. For some reason, it requires you to click the Preset* adornee first before you can switch the adornee to the other parts.

(The preset is the part I attached the adornee from the start not in testing mode)

  • Red is the pre-set adornee part

Do you have a script you can show?

#3 
local soy = game.ReplicatedStorage.Soy
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Adornee:FindFirstChild("IsSoy").Value == false and player:WaitForChild("stats"):WaitForChild("Cash").Value >= 10000 then
		local stage1 = soy.SoyStage1:Clone()
		stage1.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Adornee
		stage1:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Adornee.OriginValue.Value.Position))
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Adornee.OriginValue.Value:Destroy()
		player:WaitForChild("stats"):WaitForChild("Cash").Value -= 10000
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Adornee:FindFirstChild("IsSoy").Value = true
	else
		return
	end
end)

The local script is in here:

I don’t necessarily see the problem but you can always use prints. I did rewrite it to some extent because as I rewrite code the problem usually becomes present but I truly have no idea. You’d have to just set breakpoints & use printing to your advantage.

Here’s the source I wrote myself.

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local repstore = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local localplayer = players.LocalPlayer
local soy = repstore:WaitForChild("Soy")
local billboard = script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("BillboardGui")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	if typeof(billboard.Adornee) == 'Instance' then
		local isSoy = billboard.Adornee:FindFirstChild("IsSoy")
		if typeof(isSoy) == 'Instance' and isSoy:IsA("BoolValue") and isSoy.Value ~= true then
			local stats = localplayer:WaitForChild("stats", 5)
			local cash = typeof(stats) == 'Instance' and stats:FindFirstChild("Cash")
			local origin = typeof(cash) == 'Instance' and cash:IsA("IntValue") and cash.Value >= 1e4 and billboard.Adornee:WaitForChild("OriginValue")
			if typeof(origin) == 'Instance' and origin:IsA("ObjectValue") and typeof(origin.Value) == 'Instance' and origin.Value:IsA("BasePart") then
				local soyStage1 = soy:WaitForChild("SoyStage1"):Clone()
				soyStage1.Parent = billboard.Adornee
				soyStage1:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(origin.Value.Position))					
				origin.Value:Destroy()
				cash.Value -= 1e4 -- is this supposed to be on the client (just trying to clarify because stats usually are server-side)
				isSoy.Value = true
			end
		end
	end
end)

The problem is that it is supposed to change the BillboardGui Adornee part to the square I’m clicking (as shown in the video), but for some reason it only works if I click the middle square (red square in video) first. If I click any other square before clicking the middle one, it doesn’t work.
