This has been a pain... please help me with this annoying script

Ah I see, it only does this when you come to close to the light switch?

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

Well you need to be close to interact with it. So kinda

[archcortex]

Ok I think I found the solution. The script is registering every time the player presses E. lets say you have to hold down E for 5 seconds for the lights to turn off. If you hold E for 1 second and then release the E key then followed by pressing E again you will wait 4 seconds rather than 5, the reason being the script only end’s when you hold down the E key for 5 seconds.

Give this a try?

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

elseif not lights dbg then am I supposed to put and before dbg?

Edit: Yep

[kylerzong]

My bad… I just put it into a notepad and went from there, It would help if you could upload a studio file

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

Testing right now, please wait…

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

Doesn’t work, it still does the same thing, here is the file: Lights.rbxl (2GB)

[kylerzong]

local inputServ = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local tweenServ = game:GetService("TweenService")
local dist = 5
local text = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.e
local part = workspace.Thing
local lights = false
local canDo = false
local tweenInf = TweenInfo.new(1)
local tween = tweenServ:Create(script.Parent, tweenInf, {Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)})

spawn(function()
	while wait() do
		if (game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position - part.Position).Magnitude < dist then
			text.Visible = true
			if lights then
				text.Text = "<E> to turn off lights"
			elseif lights == false then
				text.Text = "<E> to turn on lights."
			end
		else
			text.Visible = false
		end
	end
end)






local LastStart = tick()
tween.Completed:Connect(function()
	if tick() - LastStart > 0.6 then
		print("Toggled Lights")
		lights = not lights
		workspace.Thing.PointLight.Enabled = not workspace.Thing.PointLight.Enabled
	end
	LastStart = tick()
end)


function Cancel()
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	tween:Cancel()
	script.Parent.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, 0)
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = false
end


function Start()
	script.Parent.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, 0)
	LastStart = tick()
	tween:Play()
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = true
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = true
end


inputServ.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and (game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position - part.Position).Magnitude < dist then
		Start()
	end
end)

inputServ.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		Cancel()
	end
end)

Works for me, might need to change the timing a bit

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

Ah, another issue.

Here is the issue (in a video): Dropbox - File Deleted - Simplify your life

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

Where do I put the elseif?

[kylerzong]

local inputServ = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local tweenServ = game:GetService("TweenService")
local dist = 5
local text = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.e
local part = workspace.Thing
local lights = false
local canDo = false
local tweenInf = TweenInfo.new(1)
local tween = tweenServ:Create(script.Parent, tweenInf, {Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)})


local LastStart = tick()


spawn(function()
	while wait() do
		if tick() - LastStart > 1 then
			Cancel()
		end
		if (game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position - part.Position).Magnitude < dist then
			text.Visible = true
			if lights then
				text.Text = "<E> to turn off lights"
			elseif lights == false then
				text.Text = "<E> to turn on lights."
			end
		else
			text.Visible = false
		end
	end
end)



function Cancel()
	LastStart = tick()
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	tween:Cancel()
	script.Parent.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, 0)
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = false
end




tween.Completed:Connect(function()
	if tick() - LastStart > 0.6 and tick() - LastStart < 1 then
		print("Toggled Lights")
		lights = not lights
		workspace.Thing.PointLight.Enabled = not workspace.Thing.PointLight.Enabled
	end
	LastStart = tick()
end)


function Start()
	script.Parent.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, 0)
	LastStart = tick()
	tween:Play()
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = true
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = true
end


inputServ.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and (game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position - part.Position).Magnitude < dist then
		Start()
	end
end)

inputServ.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		Cancel()
	end
end)

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

Thanks, this worked but there is a tiny delay before letting the player go and hiding the UI.

[kylerzong]

Play around with the timing?..

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

Is there also a way to make it like a hold e thing in jailbreak where it’s a circle?

[kylerzong]

Radial sprite sheet or a bunch of frames that make up a circle and gradually become visible

How can i make a script that makes frames visible as a value increases?

i am currently trying to make an rpm bar on a dashboard, and I want the bar to scale with the rpm. the method i have right now is really messy and takes up unnecessary code, plus it is very tedious. is there a better way to do this? function rpmChange() if carstatus.Value then local rpmBar = sc.G.RPMGauge.RPM sc.G.RPMV.Text = tostring(math.floor(rpm.Value)) if math.floor(rpm.Value) >= 500 then for i, v in pairs(rpmBar:GetChildren()) do if v.Name == "R1" then v.Visible =…

Radial Sprite Sheet Generator for Circular Progress Indicators

I created a web app that lets you generate radial (circular) progress indicators from any source image you give it. This is necessary because Roblox doesn’t support clipping masks for images. There are other ways to make a radial progress indicator, but nothing will match the quality of using pre-rendered images. Since UI elements are locked to integral coordinates, using dynamically rotated segments creates some pretty undesirable results. I’m not the first one to make something like this, but…

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

I need help with using the web app thing lol, can you send over a place with it set up?

[kylerzong]

I’ve never used it and I’m logging off, you’re on your own

[MrOofBoyPlayz (Barnibus)]

Oh ok, goodbye lol.
