Hello, everything is fine? well, I’ll be straight to the point.
I have a local script in a part, this script checks if the player has a specific item (Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild; It uses Character because when the player is holding an item it becomes there and not in the Backpack). So far everything was fine when I was in the Studio, I published the game update and when I entered the script it didn’t work like it did in the studio
Here is a demo In-Studio
In-Game
Note that in Studio the Console is empty without any error, in the experience itself it presents an error in the Console
This is the Script:
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
while 1 == 1 do
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Baby") then
script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Enabled = true
else
script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Enabled = false
end
wait()
end
end)
By the way, if anyone knows if I can “Improve” this script, such as performance for example
Ideally, you would use a script located within the tool that is then connected to an Equipped and Unequipped events. However, assuming you don’t want to do that because it requires that you change how you have it set up, you can instead try something like this:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Prompt = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
char.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if char.Name == "Baby" then
Prompt.Enabled = true
end
end)
char.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(char)
if char.Name == "Baby" then
Prompt.Enabled = false
end
end)
end)
Changing the code to instead use events instead of a while loop may resolve the issue.
Thank you so much, I did some modifications and some tests and realized that this code doesn’t run in a LocalScript, but in a script with the RunContext defined in Client, this was the modified code:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Prompt = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt
wait(Player.Character)
char = Player.Character
char.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
print(child.Name)
if child.Name == "Baby" then
Prompt.Enabled = true
end
end)
char.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(char)
print(char.Name)
if char.Name == "Baby" then
Prompt.Enabled = false
end
end)
I was reading more about RunContext here on the forum, because I’ve never cared so much about it (and it’s also a relatively new feature) and I saw this post, it explains why the code wasn’t running:
