Hi, So I’ve got a bit of a dilemma, I have local chests which the player is only supposed to be able to open one time. So my solution was to make the chests give you two values. 30 coins and a second value, This value would be for the system to recognize that you already opened the chest. I currently have 2 as there are only 2 chests in the game. “CHA1” and “CHA2”.
(the CH is for chest, The A is for area A and the number is pretty self explanatory)
The problem is, I want the player to be able to open them out of order. e.g. Opening CHA2 before CHA1.
But I’m not sue how this would be possible, As you can see below
while wait() do
if data1.Value >= 1 then
Chest:Destroy()
while wait() do
if data2.Value >= 1 then
Chest2:Destroy()
The second while wait() do can only fire after the first one has.
I’ve spent hours searching for solutions and tried just about every solution I could with my current skillset
Here’s the full script:
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Chest = game.Workspace.Collectibles.CHA1
local Chest2 = game.Workspace.Collectibles.CHA2
local data1 = player:WaitForChild("collectibledata"):FindFirstChild("CHA1")
local data2 = player:WaitForChild("collectibledata"):FindFirstChild("CHA2")
while wait() do
if data1.Value >= 1 then
Chest:Destroy()
while wait() do
if data2.Value >= 1 then
Chest2:Destroy()
end
end
end
end
If you have any questions please feel free to ask, This was quite difficult to explain so pardon if it doesn’t make much sense
Why cant you just destroy the chests when you open them, and only run the deletion check on data load if you want to implement that? It would be far more effecient than a loop.
Also, they are forced to be in order because you need to add ends to the end of the loop
while task.wait() do
if data1.Value >= 1 then
Chest:Destroy()
end
if data2.Value >= 1 then
Chest2:Destroy()
end
end
You should avoid to use any type of loops for everything, as it take a lot of ressources overall, there is an optimized way to do it properly.
--//Services//--
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local WorkspaceService = game:GetService("Workspace")
--//Variables//--
local Player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer
local Collectibles = WorkspaceService:WaitForChild("Collectibles" ,300)
local Chest1 = Collectibles and Collectibles:WaitForChild("CHA1" ,30)
local Chest2 = Collectibles and Collectibles:WaitForChild("CHA2" ,30)
local CollectibleData = Player:WaitForChild("collectibledata" ,300)
local Data1 = CollectibleData and CollectibleData:WaitForChild("CHA1" ,30)
local Data2 = CollectibleData and CollectibleData:WaitForChild("CHA2" ,30)
--//Functions//--
if Data1 then
Data1:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
if Data1.Value >= 1 then
Chest1:Destroy()
end
end)
end
if Data2 then
Data2:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
if Data2.Value >= 1 then
Chest2:Destroy()
end
end)
end
No problems !
It is a client sided local script, so when chests are getting destroyed, only you will see them getting destroyed, other players still see the chests if their value are < 1.
I hate to keep nagging, But it currently only checks when the value is changed, Do you know how I would go about making it check when you join the game too?
