Update Log in my Game | How would I do it?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello folks! I was just continuing with my simulator and thought that I need an update log like Pet Simulator X or Clicker Simulator. So it says what I want it to say but mainly I want it to not show up the next time the player joins in the game. Only once!! (Until next update).

I hope you can help me. Have a great day :smiley:
Regards, Flash!

You could save to a datastore whether the user has opened it. Use remote events to send the gui if the datastore value is false. Save a version id/number to check if the version update has been checked.

Considering what @jees1 said, yes, you could make a boolean inside the player in a folder or something, and name it opened. Set it to false, but when a player clicks out of the GUI, send a remote value that says to make the opened value true, and save that. If the opened value is false, then make the GUI appear. If not, don’t make it appear.

Uhm, its pretty simple. Just use a datastore for a value in replicatedstorage for example then use this code I guess.

If you want a gui for it then follow this tutorial:

Make a BoolValue inside of ReplicatedStorage (or in a folder where you keep your values) named HasShownLog.

Create a gui inside of starter gui named Log and design it how you want. Put the image or frame.Visible to false

Create a script inside of ServerScriptService, name it whatever you want (I would use “UpdateLogger”)

put this code:

local logDatastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("UpdateLogShown1") -- gets datastore and whenever you want a new update just change this to a different datastore
local hasShown = game.ReplicatedStorage.HasShownLog

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local logFrame = plr.PlayerGui.Log.Frame -- where it is
	local key = "user_"..plr.UserId -- player key
	
	local data = logDatastore:GetAsync(key) -- gets the data
	if key == false then -- this
		key = true -- yes
		logFrame.Visible = true -- you can add a ok button to close it or an X
	end
end)

then whenever you want a new update just change the datastore and the ui and you are done!

Dont forget to out mine as an answer!

You already posted the same topic like 1 week ago. Plus, That’s what you could try doing: How would I go on making an Update Log alike the one in PSX or Clicker Simulator? - #2 by MeCrunchAstroX

Indeed but I didn’t understand it and Roblox deleted: ‘I don’t understand how all of this works. I am not a scripter really.’ Something like this was deleted.

But what is this part for? It isn’t used anymore in the script
