How can I make my ball in roblox studio reset it's position after waiting 7 seconds?
After multiple tutorials I made this which simply didn't work.
local ball = script.parent
while true do
wait(7)
ballPart.Position = Vector3.new(102, 64.9, 232.8)
end
Anyone know how I can do this? Thank You.
(i think i worte this part in the description)
ballPart is not defined
try
local ball = script.parent
while true do
wait(7)
ball.Position = Vector3.new(102, 64.9, 232.8)
end
instead

I have this script that duplicates an object and teleports it to the player when the GUI button is pressed (You can think of GMod to make things easier). It is stored in a LocalScript inside the button and when you press it, but it's only visible for the player that clicked the button.
I'm not exactly sure how I would solve the problem or what the problem is, but I think it's because it's all stored into a LocalScript. I'm new to Lua and Roblox game development and I didn't really take any lessons on it, I'm just working from my memory and experience. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also, if I need to give more information, please ask and I will provide it.
My script:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local rag = game.Lighting.ragdolls_presets["Wood Crate"]:Clone()
local X = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position.X
local Y = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position.Y + 10
local Z = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position.Z
rag.Parent = game.Workspace.ragdolls
local children = rag:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #children do
local child = children[i]
child.Position = Vector3.new(X,Y,Z)
end
end)
Thank you in advance!
When you clone something in a LocalScript, it only clones on the client side. Changes done on the client side never gets replicated to the server side, however all changes done on the server side would get replicated to all clients, which are the players.
So to fix this you'd need to use RemoteEvents, which is a way for the client to tell the server to do something.
So instead of doing this in a LocalScript
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local rag = game.Lighting.ragdolls_presets["Wood Crate"]:Clone()
local X = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position.X
local Y = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position.Y + 10
local Z = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position.Z
rag.Parent = game.Workspace.ragdolls
local children = rag:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #children do
local child = children[i]
child.Position = Vector3.new(X,Y,Z)
end
end)
Put a new RemoteEvent in game.Replicated Storage, then:
This should be the LocalScript
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
Event:Fire()
end)
And this should be the ServerScript (or Script for short)
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local rag = game.Lighting.ragdolls_presets["Wood Crate"]:Clone()
local X = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position.X
local Y = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position.Y + 10
local Z = player.Character.UpperTorso.Position.Z
rag.Parent = game.Workspace.ragdolls
local children = rag:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #children do
local child = children[i]
child.Position = Vector3.new(X,Y,Z)
end
end)
Also, it is very important to do server-side validation when using RemoteEvents, for example: instead of checking whether a player has enough money to spawn something in a LocalScript before the RemoteEvent is fired, it should be done in both LocalScript and the ServerScript. The cause for this is that players can change anything in their client side, so information from the client can NOT be trusted. Optionally you can also have time-outs in each side because, lets say a player has millions of money, he can keep executing the RemoteEvent hundreds of times in under a minute which can crash the server or cause extreme lag. So a 3 second - 1 minute time out is sometimes necessary

I'm back with yet another problem. I'm trying to make a custom loading screen for my game, but RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen doesn't seem to be firing. Can anyone help me with this? Here's my code:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedFirst = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")
ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
PlayerGui:SetTopbarTransparency(1)
local Loading = ReplicatedFirst.Load
local ScreenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
ScreenGui.IgnoreGuiInset=true
local Bar = Loading.Frame.TextLabel
ScreenGui.Name = "LoadScreen"
Loading.Parent = ScreenGui
ScreenGui.Parent = PlayerGui
local Info = TweenInfo.new(0.7,Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0,true,0)
local Tween = TweenService:Create(Bar,Info,{Position=UDim2.new(0.8,0,0.6,0)})
spawn(function()
while true do
Tween:Play()
Tween.Completed:Wait()
end
end)
if not game:IsLoaded() then
game.Loaded:Wait()
end
for i=0,1,0.1 do
Loading.BackgroundTransparency=i
Bar.TextTransparency=i
Loading.Frame.Load.TextTransparency=i
wait()
end
ScreenGui:Destroy()
Everything works fine, except that the third line doesn't work in Studio. Is it supposed to be this way? Help would be greatly appreciated.
I tested it, it works just fine in Roblox Studio. Note this, though:
In studio the load screen goes away almost instantly, so you won't see much of a difference.
I'd put a wait(5) in your script before the if not game:IsLoaded() then line, that will simulate a 5 second load. Then you can play with having vs not having the ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen() command present, and you'll see the difference.
I'm a new developer to roblox and figured it would be a good place to start learning to make games. I was working on my game today and I ran into an issue. I wanted to press 'E' while by a NPC and I got that to work. The only problem was, I have no clue how to make the GUI appear and Dissapear when I press E. This is what I have written,
local HumanoidRootPart = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Npc = game.Workspace.Noob.Head
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(keyCode)
if keyCode.keyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
if (Npc.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude < 15 then
game.StarterGui.TextF.TextLabel.Visible = 0
wait(3)
game.StarterGui.TextF.TextLabel.Visible = 1
end
end
end)
it comes out with no error. The code to press E still works, but the GUI does not pop up. I have tried setting the values to True or False
I've Figured it out. if anyone is looking at this question and wondering, this script is almost ok. The only problem is that you cannot change a GUI from the starter GUI, you have to call it from LocalPlayerGui Like this:
local HumanoidRootPart = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Npc = game.Workspace.Noob.Head
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(keyCode)
if keyCode.keyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
if (Npc.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude < 15 then
print("Key E was pressed")
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TextF.TextLabel.Visible = true
wait(3)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TextF.TextLabel.Visible = false
end
end
end)
I'm currently working on a game on ROBLOX that contains a TON of NPC's. I need a way to make the player not be able to move them around in any way. I've tried anchoring the HumanoidRootPart, and that worked, but it made the NPC unable to move.
Can anyone help?
You could weld the NPC to the ground, if possible.
This could work:
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Part0 = part
weld.Part1 = otherPart
weld.Parent = part
There is more info here on welding.
If you don't need players to clip through said NPCs, you could "unclip" the NPC, allowing players to move through it but not move it.
local function setDescendantCollisionGroup(Descendant)
if Descendant:IsA("BasePart") and Descendant.CanCollide then
-- set collision group
end
end
model.DescendantAdded:Connect(setDescendantCollisionGroup)
for _, descendant in pairs(model:GetDescendants()) do
setDescendantCollisionGroup(descendant)
end
This should be able to be done using a property . Create a startercharacter so players wear this character,and then modify it's customphysicalproperties "friction" , "density" to a very low number.
You should also be able to put such in a script such as when a player join,the children with class "Part" have their density and friction low.
Try something like this:
local NPC = workspace.NPC --The NPC variable
NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Mass = 69420
It should make the NPC alot heavier!
And when you want it to move:
local NPC = workspace.NPC --The NPC variable
NPC.HumanoidRootPart.Mass = 10
That will make the NPC lighter!
So this is the final script:
local NPC = workspace.NPC --The NPC variable
local humanoid = NPC:WaitForChild('Humanoid') --NPC's humanoid
local hrp = NPC.HumanoidRootPart --NPC's HumanoidRootPart
local mass1 = 69420
local mass2 = 10
humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
if speed > 0.001 then
hrp.Mass = mass2
else
hrp.Mass = mass1
end
end)
Make sure to write that code in a ServerScript!
And put the Script inside the NPC if you want.
Some simple code
script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:connect(function()
????.leaderstats.lvl.Value = 0
????.leaderstats.xp.Value = 0
????.leaderstats.gold.Value = 0
It's not even working. So the player clicks the gui, but how can it reset the players leaderstats, specifically lvl, xp, and gold, I run a fairly popular roblox rpg game with about 400 people right now and this would be an immense help.
You could put the following code in a LocalScript inside your button.
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --Only works inside a localscript, replace with the line below it if you need it as a Script.
-- Player=script.Parent while (not Player:IsA("Player")) do Player = Player.Parent end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:connect(function()
local index, stat
for index, stat in pairs(Player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
stat.Value = 0
end
end)
It should be in a LocalScript, so you can just use the LocalPlayer variable to get the leaderstats and set them.
