Hello,

I am making a theme park game for Roblox and one of the biggest problems is that I do not know how to make something appear at a certain time. What I am trying to say is that when the roller coaster starts and when the roller coaster cart comes to a certain point, I want something to happen, maybe a light flicker or anything, but I do not know how to do so! I need help!

I'd use raycasting long story short. maxpax2009 340 — 4y

Okay, so about the light flickering stuff.

Create a part and insert a pointlight in it, name the part; "Light"

Create another part on the other side of the rail track, name it RayPart

Create a serverscript in serverscriptservice

local LightPart = game.Workspace.Light
local RayPart = game.Workspace.RayPart

OriginalRange = LightPart.PointLight.Range

local myfirstray = Ray.new(LightPart.Position, LightPart.Position - RayPart.Position.Unit*500) -- creates a ray from the light to the part

local PartsToIgnore = {} -- the parts you want to ignore

while wait(0.1) do
    local hit, pos = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(myfirstray, PartsToIgnore)

    if hit and hit.Name == "Coaster" then
        print("The coaster arrived!")
        LightPart.PointLight.Range = 0
        wait(0.2)
        LightPart.PointLight.Range = OriginalRange
    end
end
