Hello, I’ve been working on a tycoon for about 2 week. I’m using Zednov’s tycoon kit. I want it to create tycoon arrows/beams, but the problem is when you claim a tycoon beams doesn’t
disappear :
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Character = Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:wait()
print ("Creating Beams...")
--references the "Entrance" part
local tycoonDoors = {
game.Workspace["Zednov's Tycoon Kit"].Tycoons["Test Tycoon 1"].Entrance,
game.Workspace["Zednov's Tycoon Kit"].Tycoons["Test Tycoon 2"].Entrance,
}
local function createBeams()
for i,v in pairs(tycoonDoors) do
if v:FindFirstChild("Touch to claim!") then --this checks if a tycoon is claimable, and only creates the beam if it is
local beam = Instance.new("Beam")
beam.Parent = v["Touch to claim!"].Head
-- Settings --
beam.Texture = "rbxassetid://17070105"
beam.TextureLength = 7
beam.TextureMode = "Static"
beam.TextureSpeed = 1
beam.FaceCamera = true
-- --
local attachmentPlayer = Instance.new("Attachment")
attachmentPlayer.Name = "TycoonArrow"
attachmentPlayer.Parent = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
beam.Attachment1 = v["Touch to claim!"].Head.Attachment
beam.Attachment0 = attachmentPlayer
end
end
end
createBeams()
local function disableBeams()
for i,v in pairs(tycoonDoors) do
if v:FindFirstChild("Touch to claim!") then --just applying the same checks as before
if v["Touch to claim!"].Head:FindFirstChildOfClass("Beam") then -- Checks the beam
v["Touch to claim!"].Head.Beam.Enabled = false
end
end
end
end
local function enableBeams()
for i,v in pairs(tycoonDoors) do
if v:FindFirstChild("Touch to claim!") then
if v["Touch to claim!"].Head:FindFirstChildOfClass("Beam") then
v["Touch to claim!"].Head.Beam.Enabled = true
end
end
end
end
print ("Created Beams!")
You need to check if a tycoon is already claimed by the player. If you have a value somewhere telling you if it’s claimed or not, use that to check in the script.
I found this in the gate script. There is a local that checks if you own a tycoon.
script.Parent.Head.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local script1 = script.Parent.Head.Touched
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player ~= nil then
local PlayerStats = game.ServerStorage.PlayerMoney:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
if PlayerStats ~= nil then
local ownstycoon = PlayerStats:FindFirstChild("OwnsTycoon")
if ownstycoon ~= nil then
if ownstycoon.Value == nil then
if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Owner.Value == nil then
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Owner.Value = player
ownstycoon.Value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
script.Parent.Name = player.Name.."'s Tycoon"
script.Parent.Head.Transparency = 0.6
script.Parent.Head.CanCollide = false
player.TeamColor = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.TeamColor.Value
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end)
Then look for a value called “OwnsTycoon” inside the “playerstats”, then check if a value exists in there. That way you can determine if the player owns a tycoon or not.
The other way around, if you need to check if the tycoon is owned or not, just check “script.Parent.Head.Name”, as it seems to change when people claim it.
You could temporary store any beam which gets created inside an array, then when the function runs again loop through all the current beams and destroy them:
local beams = {} --storing beams in an array, must be placed above the createBeams function
--at the start of createBeams function
for _, beam in pairs(beams) do
beam:Destroy()
end
--when the beams get parented
beam.Parent = v["Touch to claim!"].Head
table.insert(beams, beam)
