Hello! This is my first post on the Devforum and I’m excited to be here! Now concerning my problem, I’m trying to make a Sonic engine and I have the damage script, but the rings don’t disappear. This is the script that is not running after it’s parent (or in this case, grandparent) changes:
When you clone the parent, wait for the script and set enabled to false and instantly back to true.
I updated the hurt script, but the script in the ring (that flickers the transparency) still is not running.
I need more info, where is the script being placed into after being cloned? Send me a pic of your explorer or smth.
Okay, here is the explorer before playing:
This is where the hurt script (and the ring with the script) is located (after playing):
Yeah OP should either use this or put seperate scripts into each ring (totally the best way though)
I was going to ask if this was all in the same script. It gave me this error which I don’t understand: The current identity (2) cannot Source (lacking permission 1) - Client - Hurt:17
And also, I meant to write “rung” instead of “ring”.
Sorry, I made a mistake in the previous script.
Here is the updated one, which uses coroutine.create() instead of creating a new script.
-- Get the humanoid object
local humanoid = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
-- Define the function to generate rings
local function generateRings()
local ring = script.ring:Clone()
ring.Parent = script.Parent.Parent
ring.CFrame = humanoid.RootPart.CFrame
ring.Rotation = Vector3.new(math.random(1, 90), math.random(1, 90), math.random(1, 90))
ring.Anchored = false
ring.CanCollide = true
--Create Script for Ring
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
-- Wait for the parent and grandparent to load before running the script
repeat wait() until ring:IsA("Model") --// Change if Ring IsA MeshPart or something
-- Blink effect to simulate the ring disappearing
for i = 1, 4 do
ring.Transparency = 1
wait(0.1)
ring.Transparency = 0
wait(0.1)
end
ring:Destroy()
end))
end
-- Connect the Touched event to detect when the character is hit
humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Name == "Hurt" or part.Name == "hurt" then
part.Name = "hirt"
local playerGui = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
if playerGui.rings.Value > 0 then
if playerGui.rings.Value <= 15 then
for i = 1, playerGui.rings.Value do
generateRings()
end
else
for i = 1, 15 do
generateRings()
end
end
end
playerGui.rings.Value = 0
end
end)
I’ve never heard coroutine but the script works so it’s fine. Thank you!
Why are you changing values in localscript?
This is so that when the player gets hurt, they loose all of their rings.
Do it in a server-script then.
Why? Because the hurt script is a local script is StarterCharacterScripts and if I do it in a server script, it will remove the rings of every single player if one gets hurt.
You need to set the rings value to a special identifier like inside player folder or something. Anyways here is a better script handles most issues.
local Character:Model? = script.Parent
local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
local Humanoid:Humanoid? = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid",25) or Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local function generateRings()
local ring = script.ring:Clone()
ring.Parent = workspace -- Parenting physics parts to character might cause some issues.
ring.CFrame = Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
ring.Rotation = Vector3.new(math.random(1, 90), math.random(1, 90), math.random(1, 90))
ring.Anchored = false
ring.CanCollide = true
--Create Script for Ring
coroutine.wrap(function()
-- Wait for the parent and grandparent to load before running the script
repeat wait() until ring:IsA("Model") --// Change if Ring IsA MeshPart or something
-- Blink effect to simulate the ring disappearing
for i = 1, 4 do
ring.Transparency = 1
task.wait(0.1)
ring.Transparency = 0
wait(0.1)
end
ring:Destroy()
end)()
end
Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(Part)
if tostring(Part):lower():match("hurt") then
Part.Name = "hirt" -- ?
local Rings:IntValue? = Player.Rings -- Rings!!
if Rings.Value > 0 then
if Rings.Value <= 15 then
for i = 1, Rings.Value do
generateRings()
end
else
for i = 1, 15 do
generateRings()
end
end
end
Rings.Value = 0
end
end)
playerGui.rings.Value = 0 --// I've no idea why it's here, It was used by the original post
But there is no need because it already works fine in playergui.
It’s very exploitable in that case, a player might set its rings to inf or 0 to never lose them. heck, if they touch something that hurts they can briefly change them to 0 so they don’t lose it.
You can just use this.
local TextLabel:TextLabel? = script.Parent
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Rings = Player.Rings
Rings.Changed:Connect(function(Value)
TextLabel.Text = tostring(Value)
end)
And it’s there so that the ring text can update.
True, I might add an anti-cheat to check if the rings counter goes up more than 1. And if they get hurt when their rings are 0, they’re gonna get merked.
