Why the script runs even if the bool value is false?

Local script. I’ll see if it does print in the code what you said.

#22

Where is the script located though? A LocalScript will only work under:

  • StarterPlayerScripts
  • StarterCharacterScripts
  • StarterGui
  • StarterPack
  • ReplicatedFirst

edit: nevermind I saw your reply to the other person below

bool and script is inside character. I added the “character added” cause there was something what broke.

#24

You don’t need the character added if it’s a startercharacterscript, just use script.Parent. You’re checking if the magnitude of the movedirection of the humanoid is greater than 0, which means if they’re moving, are you moving while the script is running?

You are also checking if the value is true, are you aware of that?

It doesn’t show anything. I’ll try using a remote event.

#26

yeah, I want the value to go true if it can do the action. I know that, that I don’t need to add “character added”, but at the time it just broke when it was script.Parent.

Yes I was moving when the script was running and it still did show the backpack even if I want it to not show when the value is false.

#27

Try using .Heartbeat for the event instead of .RenderStepped.

It still does that… I don’t know what to do.

#29

Can you send the entire script?

Client:


local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Anti-CampersEvent")


runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()	
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	local Hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
--	local currentTime = tick()
	if Hum.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 and Hum.WalkSpeed > 0 then
		ServerEvent:FireServer()	
		if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Status").CanRunAntiCamp.Value ~=  false then
	--		print("Actually it's soo broken..")
	--		print(script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Status").CanRunAntiCamp.Value)
			game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, true)		
		end
	end
end)

Server one:

local Zone = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Zone)
local container = script.Parent
local zone = Zone.new(container)

zone.playerEntered:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local Hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local Place = char:FindFirstChild("Anti-CampersThings")		
	local LimbHealths = char:FindFirstChild("LimbHealths")
	wait(0.5)
	local ForceField = Instance.new("ForceField", player.Character)
	ForceField.Visible = false
	local ForceFieldEffect = workspace:FindFirstChild("PlayerMaterials"):FindFirstChild("Force Field Effect"):FindFirstChild("Effect"):Clone()
	char.Status.CanRunAntiCamp.Value = false
	LimbHealths.Parent = Place
	
	Hum:UnequipTools()
	ForceFieldEffect.Bolts.Enabled = true
	ForceFieldEffect.Bubble.Enabled = true
	--ForceField.Parent = char:FindFirstChild("Head")
	ForceFieldEffect.Parent = char:FindFirstChild("Torso")
end)

zone.playerExited:Connect(function(player)
	if player.Character:WaitForChild("Anti-CampersThings"):WaitForChild("LimbHealths") then
	local character = player.Character
	local Place = character:WaitForChild("Anti-CampersThings")		
	local LimbHealths = Place:FindFirstChild("LimbHealths")
	wait(0.5)
	character.Status.CanRunAntiCamp.Value = true
	if LimbHealths then
		LimbHealths.Parent = character
	end
	if character:FindFirstChild("Torso"):FindFirstChild("Effect") then
		character:FindFirstChild("Torso"):FindFirstChild("Effect").Bubble.Enabled = false
		wait(0.3)
		character:FindFirstChild("Torso"):FindFirstChild("Effect").Bolts.Enabled = false
	end
	if character:FindFirstChild("ForceField") then
		character:FindFirstChild("ForceField"):Destroy()
	end
	task.wait(2)
	if character:FindFirstChild("Torso"):FindFirstChild("Effect") then
		character:FindFirstChild("Torso"):FindFirstChild("Effect"):Destroy()
	end
	end
end)

The problem is actually that it just doesn’t change for the server and client even tho it shows in explorer, 0 errors and anything. shows just in the explorer and doesn’t react on scripts?

#34

Might be that your event doesn’t have time to run to set the value before you check it.

You may want to try InvokeServer() instead of FireServer()

You can test to see if this is the issue by

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Anti-CampersEvent")


runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()	
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	local Hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
--	local currentTime = tick()
	if Hum.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 and Hum.WalkSpeed > 0 then
		ServerEvent:FireServer()
	
        Task.Wait(2) --!! WAITING FOR SERVER TO RUN ITS SCRIPT

		if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Status").CanRunAntiCamp.Value ~=  false then
	--		print("Actually it's soo broken..")
	--		print(script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Status").CanRunAntiCamp.Value)
			game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, true)		
		end
	end
end)

If placing the wait fixes the issue then using InvokeServer() will help to wait until you return to resume your local script.

well, that event is to send event that the character moved to run the script deleting the ff. Not the value.

#36

Ok I found somehow the solution. Thanks for the help!
