Script not working properly?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Beginner Scripter here, So my script isn’t working and I get an error called: expected assignment or function call. Can anyone help me?

Code:

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
 if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
  game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Visible = true
  game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
 end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:connect(function()
 game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Visible = false
end)
if script.Parent.Touched then game.StarterPack.ClassicSword.SwordScript.Disabled
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Touched)
end)

Can you tell which line it’s erroring on? And also after the TouchEnded line the code is just empty, you aren’t doing anything?

#3

Pretty sure you’re having problem with this line, maybe? You do need to set the disabled value (true or false).

#4

Line 12, the code is supposed to unequip the tool and disable the script on the tool when the part is touched.

#5

when I use true or false it does nothing

#6

Are you using a LocalScript or a ServerScript?

#7

touched is an event it won’t return anything
if you want to disable the script when it’s touched do it after the event fires

#8

also to disable the script you can do script.Disabled = true and you can’t access to StarterPack when the game is executing cause everything on starterpack will go to the Backpack after you run the game

#9

Here’s a better code:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Visible = true
        hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):UequipTools()
        -- player.Backpack.ClassicSword.SwordScript.Disabled = true
    end
end)

Also I just noticed you’re disabling the script which is inside the StarterPack not which is in the character/backpack. Also you don’t need to disable the script because there’s no point for it. But still if you need you can remove the comment from the code above.

Ok I realised you ran the function inside the function
your mistake - script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Touched)
correct one - script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Touched)

You’re welcome

That worked just had to change the script a bit.
