I'm working on a feature similar to instagram stories, after swipe I need to reset DM player to its default state with start screen .
I can get state with player.getState(), it gives me playerIsStartScreen: false
Is there something like player.setState({playerIsStartScreen: true}) to use?

Basically what I've done so far is add a boolValue to every player, and if that boolValue is set to true, they can see invisible people, if it is false, they can't. I am clueless about the code currently so I have no idea how to begin. I'm also changing the value of the Bool Value through a tool.
The key to making one player invisible only to certain players is the understanding that any changes made to the world in a LocalScript are only visible to that player. They are not replicated between other clients. So, if we can set up a system where LocalScripts can be told to turn a specific player invisible, that player will vanish from their screen and their screen only.
So if we had that system, Player Two could say, "Hey game server, could you let the people know to turn me invisible!". That message would go up to the server, the server would send it out to a bunch of different clients, and each client would make the change locally using their LocalScripts, and the player would effectively turn invisible on their screen.
So even though Player Two looks to be invisible to Players One and Three, to the game server, nothing is different or out of the ordinary, the changes are localized entirely to each player's version of the world.
One way to do this is to use a setup like this :
A Tool in StarterPack to allow players to control their visibility
A BoolValue inside that tool to hold onto the visiblity state
A LocalScript to control the tool's logic
A RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage
A Script in ServerScriptService to handle the event routing
In the LocalScript, you would have something like this :
local tool = script.Parent
local IsHidden = tool:WaitForChild("IsHidden", 5)
local TogglePlayerVisible = game.ReplicatedStorage.TogglePlayerVisible
local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
-- debug
tool.Name = "Turn Invisible"
tool.RequiresHandle = false
IsHidden.Value = false
-- 1) When a player activates the tool, flip the BoolValue
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
IsHidden.Value = not IsHidden.Value
tool.Name = IsHidden.Value and "Become Visible" or "Turn Invisible"
end)
-- 2) When the BoolValue changes, tell the server about it
IsHidden.Changed:Connect(function(updatedValue)
TogglePlayerVisible:FireServer(updatedValue)
end)
-- 4) When the server tells us a player has used the tool, make that player invisible locally
TogglePlayerVisible.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, isHidden)
local invisible = 1.0
local visible = 0.0
-- if we are the one who sent it, only make us a little invisible
if (player.Name == localPlayer.Name) then
invisible = 0.7
end
-- loop over all of the parts in a player's Character Model and hide them
for _, part in ipairs(player.Character:GetDescendants()) do
local shouldTogglePart = true
-- handle exceptions
if not (part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("Decal")) then
shouldTogglePart = false
elseif part.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then
shouldTogglePart = false
end
-- hide or show all the parts and decals
if shouldTogglePart then
part.Transparency = isHidden and invisible or visible
end
end
end)
And in the Script, you would have something like this :
local TogglePlayerVisible = game.ReplicatedStorage.TogglePlayerVisible
-- 3) whenever a player triggers this event, send it out to all players
TogglePlayerVisible.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, isVisible)
TogglePlayerVisible:FireAllClients(player, isVisible)
end)
If you would like only specific players to not see a player, then you can modify step 3 so that instead of using TogglePlayerVisible:FireAllClients, you would specifically choose which players to send the message to using FireClient.
OK, the docs are messy at best. I have huge issues fading in and out preloaded assets if I do not add 'false' to the instance of PreloadJS. But when I add it I completely lose the progress event ... what is it that's so deeply hidden in the docs, that I cannot find anything about this?
And has anyone got a complete example of HOW to actually and properly load an array (actually an object) of images without losing the progress event AND still have an asset that behaves as expected when adding it to the DOM and fade it in?
This was also posted in a question on GitHub.
The short answer is that loading with tags (setting the first param useXHR to false) doesn't support granular progress events because downloading images with tags doesn't give progress events in the browser.
You can still get progress events from the LoadQueue any time an image loads, but each image will just provide a single "complete" event.
#Lanny True for that part, but in my case I was also missing the 'true' in .getResult(), and the createObjectURL() for the image data:
…
var preloader = new createjs.LoadQueue();
…
…
function handleFileLoad ( e ) {
var item = e.item,
result = preloader.getResult(item.id, true),
blob_url = URL.createObjectURL( result );
…
So, that I was actually able to handle the image data as a blob … I couldn't find anything close to 'createObjectURL' in the docs. I guess that renders the docs 'not complete' at best …
What I am trying to do is the following : The player loads up my game, is greeted by 2 Text buttons asking, explore or play campaign, when they click for example 'Campaign' it teleport's them to the campaign start and then shuts the game menu, i am very new to Roblox Lua and can't get this script to work, please help!
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.character.LowerTorso.CFrame = CFrame.new(workspace.CampainSpawn.Position)
end)
function onClick()
Parent.Parent.Visible = false
end
The problem with your code is that you are not calling the onClick() function therefore it will never execute the code which makes your game menu invisible. Please tell me if the code below works for you:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.character.LowerTorso.CFrame = CFrame.new(workspace.CampainSpawn.Position)
script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
end)
If the code above does not work, please add a picture of the structure of the user interface in your original post as that will help me out a lot more.
I have an iPhone app, where I want to show how many people are currently viewing an item as such:
I'm doing that by running this transaction when people enter a view (Rubymotion code below, but functions exactly like the Firebase iOS SDK):
listing_reference[:listings][self.id][:viewing_amount].transaction do |data|
data.value = data.value.to_i + 1
FTransactionResult.successWithValue(data)
end
And when they exit the view:
listing_reference[:listings][self.id][:viewing_amount].transaction do |data|
data.value = data.value.to_i + -
FTransactionResult.successWithValue(data)
end
It works fine most of the time, but sometimes things go wrong. The app crashes, people loose connectivity or similar things.
I've been looking at "onDisconnect" to solve this - https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/ios/firebasedatabase/interface_f_i_r_database_reference#method-detail - but from what I can see, there's no "inDisconnectRunTransaction".
How can I make sure that the viewing amount on the listing gets decremented no matter what?
A Firebase Database transaction runs as a compare-and-set operation: given the current value of a node, your code specifies the new value. This requires at least one round-trip between the client and server, which means that it is inherently unsuitable for onDisconnect() operations.
The onDisconnect() handler is instead a simple set() operation: you specify when you attach the handler, what write operation you want to happen when the servers detects that the client has disconnected (either cleanly or as in your problem case involuntarily).
The solution is (as is often the case with NoSQL databases) to use a data model that deals with the situation gracefully. In your case it seems most natural to not store the count of viewers, but instead the uid of each viewer:
itemViewers
$itemId
uid_1: true
uid_2: true
uid_3: true
Now you can get the number of viewers with a simple value listener:
ref.child('itemViewers').child(itemId).on('value', function(snapshot) {
console.log(snapshot.numChildren());
});
And use the following onDisconnect() to clean up:
ref.child('itemViewers').child(itemId).child(authData.uid).remove();
Both code snippets are in JavaScript syntax, because I only noticed you're using Swift after typing them.
I'm working on an addon for World of Warcraft that completely overhauls the interface to adapt to my play style.
In this addon, I would like to have a large button that acts as a "main dps rotation" for my mage. I would like it to change what spell it casts based on what is optimal at any given time. It doesn't cast the spell automatically, it just presents the next best option for the user.
Here is my code so far:
print "Interface Overhaul : LOADED"
heatingUpIsActive = false
print(heatingUpIsActive)
local Button = CreateFrame("Button", "MyButton", UIParent,"SecureActionButtonTemplate")
Button:SetWidth(256)
Button:SetHeight(256)
Button:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
Button:SetPoint("LEFT")
Button:SetText("Main Rotation")
Button:RegisterForClicks("AnyUp")
Button:SetAttribute("type", "spell")
Button:SetAttribute("spell", "Fireball")
Button:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA");
local function auraGained(self, event, ...)
if (UnitAura("player", "Heating Up")) then
if (heatingUpIsActive == false) then
heatingUpIsActive = true
print (heatingUpIsActive)
print ("Heating Up is active!")
Button:SetAttribute("spell", "Inferno Blast")
end
else
heatingUpIsActive = false
print("Heating Up is NOT active.")
print(heatingUpIsActive)
end
end
Button:SetScript("OnEvent", auraGained);
local tex = Button:CreateTexture("ARTWORK");
tex:SetPoint("LEFT")
tex:SetWidth(256)
tex:SetHeight(256)
tex:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\InterfaceOverhaul\\Button2")
If heatingUpIsActive == true, I would like the button to cast ("spell", "Inferno Blast") instead of ("spell", "Fireball"), but it doesn't work if I place that into the correct part of the if statements.
Any thoughts?
As Mud said, you cannot rebind buttons in combat anymore. Blizzard made this change to prevent bots from being able to automate combat. Notably, in order to cast a spell you need to use one of the secure templates, and these secure templates only allow modification of the attributes that control what they do when you're not in combat. So you cannot have one button change spells mid-combat. Similarly, they also prevent you from modifying attributes like their position or visibility, so you cannot move buttons under the mouse either.
The best you can do is display a visual indicator of what spell should be cast, but rely on the user to actually press the correct button.
