So I am relatively new to scripting and I am working with a free model circular progress bar gui but I can’t seem to optimize it for what I am trying to do. All of this is kind of confusing, and I’d love to have at least some pointers as to where to look for some info.
Anyway, this is what I got so far. The max variable is the requirement (the number of wood, logs, etc. you need to complete the objective.) The progress variable is the progress the player has so far on each objective. I’ve tried a few things, and I’ve altered stuff and removed the tweens (as I said before this was from a free model since I had no clue how to make this).
Location:
code: (localscript)
local leftFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("LeftBG"):WaitForChild("LeftFrame")
local rightFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("RightBG"):WaitForChild("RightFrame")
local numValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
local max = script.Parent.Parent.completeObj.Value
local progress = script.Parent.Parent.Progress.Value
numValue.Changed:Connect(function()
local rightRot = math.clamp(numValue.Value - max,progress , 0)
rightFrame.Rotation = rightRot
if numValue.Value <= 180 then
leftFrame.Visible = false
else
local leftRot = math.clamp(numValue.Value - 360, -180, 0)
leftFrame.Rotation = leftRot
leftFrame.Visible = true
end
end)
function progressBar()
numValue.Value = 30
end
progressBar()
This is not working because I should have 0 progress on all of the objectives, and it shows as 50 percent completed, and no matter how I change the variables, I can’t get it to show 0.
My goal is just to understand how to do this, since I can’t seem to figure it out, and nothing I found on the WIKI helped much.
I missed one part of the script you changed from the tutorial hopefully this works! I got rid of the number value and renamed the function more appropriately
local leftFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("LeftBG"):WaitForChild("LeftFrame")
local rightFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("RightBG"):WaitForChild("RightFrame")
function UpdateProgress()
local progress = (script.Parent.Parent.Progress.Value / script.Parent.Parent.completeObj.Value) * 360
local rightRot = math.clamp(progress - 180,-180, 0)
rightFrame.Rotation = rightRot
if progress <= 180 then
leftFrame.Visible = false
else
local leftRot = math.clamp(progress - 360, -180, 0)
leftFrame.Rotation = leftRot
leftFrame.Visible = true
end
end
UpdateProgress()
I tried changing the value of the progress integer but it kept resetting to 0
It might be from another script but I just checked it, and it shouldn’t do that.
while true do
for i,v in pairs (game.Players:GetChildren()) do
local open = v.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ObjectiveUi").background.background.background.background.background
local tasksAtHand = open:GetChildren()
for _,s in pairs (tasksAtHand) do
if s.Name == "Folder" then
else
local backend = require(game.ServerScriptService.Modules.backend)
for ind,val in pairs (backend) do
if val[4] == "Rocks" then
open:WaitForChild(ind).Progress.Value = v.statsFolder.Rocks.Value
elseif val[4] == "Wood" then
open:WaitForChild(ind).Progress.Value = v.statsFolder.Wood.Value
elseif val[4] == "Bandits" then
open:WaitForChild(ind).Progress.Value = v.statsFolder.Bandits.Value
end
if val[3] == v.statsFolder.Bandits.Value and val[4] == "Bandits" then
-- objective complete
elseif val[3] == v.statsFolder.Rocks.Value and val[4] == "Rocks" then
-- objective complete
elseif val[3] == v.statsFolder.Wood.Value and val[4] == "Wood" then
-- objective complete
end
end
end
end
end
wait()
end
This is the other script, and I’m concerned that open:WaitForChild(ind).Progress.Value = v.statsFolder.Bandits.Value would have something to do with it. Not quite sure tho.
Nevermind, I’m an idiot. I changed the wrong value. I realize now the problem is the wheel does not update when I update the values (yes im doing it through the server) sorry
OOP just got it! Wrapped the function call in a while loop!
THANK YOU! Really, but if you don’t mind me asking, how did you determine where to put the variables in math.clamp?
Don’t waste resources with while loop xd Just connect the function to that Progress value by script.Parent.Parent.Progress.Changed:Connect(UpdateProgress) at the end of the script.
Well, math.clamp(number, min, max) is just a way to lock a number between two values so the rotation (number) has to be between -180 (min) and 0 (max) for it to work correctly according to the tutorial so that’s how i wrote it
Okay so I think you want it to work by changing the Progress Number Value in order to update the gui.
I think something like this makes more sense as it works directly from the progress number value rather than using a hidden value.
local leftFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("LeftBG"):WaitForChild("LeftFrame")
local rightFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("RightBG"):WaitForChild("RightFrame")
local max = script.Parent.Parent.completeObj
local progress = script.Parent.Parent.Progress
local function onProgressChanged(newValue)
local progressProp = math.clamp(newValue/max.Value, 0, 1)
rightFrame.Rotation = 180 * progressProp
if progressProp <= 0.5 then
leftFrame.Visible = false
else
local leftRot = 360 * (progressProp - 1)
leftFrame.Rotation = leftRot
leftFrame.Visible = true
end
end)
local function init()
onProgressChanged(progress.Value)
progress.Changed:Connect(onProgressChanged)
end
init()
hopefully this works! I got rid of the number value and renamed the function more appropriately
