What does this script mean?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to understand this script.

  2. What is the issue?
    I don’t understand this script:

RunService = game:GetService(“RunService”)

local t = 0
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(step)
t += step
if t >= rateOfPowerDecreasing then
power -= 1 + (objectsActivated*0.2)
t = 0
end
end)

  1. What solutions have you tried so far?
    Now, as this is a script, it isn’t really searchable.
2

What part of the script don’t you understand? and what part of it do you want to understand? You need to be more specific about your problem. (Also use the ``` formatting for scripts)

3

I don’t know how to make the objectsActivated count higher, when the door/light is on. (when I press a button)

4

RunService.Heartbeat fires every heartbeat, so the function will run every 1/30th of a second, roughly.

Could you give us a bit more information on what you want to achieve? “Understanding the script” is a bit vague.

6

I don’t understand how to make the objectsActivated variable go up, when you click a button.

7

What do you mean by variable? Is objectsActivated an IntValue that is set to a variable? I still don’t understand what you mean by making the objectsActivated variable “go up”

8

By go up I meant if you click a button, it jumps from 1, to 2.

I get the feeling this isn’t your script, nor do you have any experience scripting at all. I’d recommend learning to script.

You would need an IntValue and a ClickDetector. For example…

local cd = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local objectsActivated = script.Parent.IntValue
cd.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    objectsActivated.Value = objectsActivated.Value + 1
    print(objectsActivated.Value.." Object(s) have been activated")
end)

This is also how you would want to place the items into workspace:

Thanks, I actually started learning some stuff with PeasFactory, but I wasn’t that far into learning scripting!
