How to make the value of 'BoolValue' remain the same after player dies?
I will explain later, first see this local script:
01 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local Open = script.Parent.Open |
03 |
04 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
05 | if Open.Value == false then |
06 | script.Parent.Text = "2X Speed: On" |
07 | script.Parent.BackgroundTransparency = 0 |
08 | Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25 |
09 | Open.Value = true |
10 |
11 | elseif Open.Value == true then |
12 | script.Parent.Text = "2X Speed: Off" |
13 | script.Parent.BackgroundTransparency = .5 |
14 | Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 |
15 | Open.Value = false |
16 | end |
17 | end) |
Explaination:
Inside a textbutton, I have a boolvalue named 'Open' and a local script (the above one). The default value of the boolvalue is set to false.
Now if the player click on the textbutton, then I am going to change the walkspeed of the player.
Seems simple till now?
Now let's suppose the value of the boolvalue is set to true (because the player clicked the textbutton) and on clicking, it toggles the value between true and false. And if the value is set to true (which means that the player's walkspeed will increase to 25), and then if a player dies, the value will be set to false again. And the player (after dying), will have to select on the textbutton again to increase their speed.
Now in my game, the player's will continuously die, because my game is an obby. And people continuously die from lazers etc. So the players won't like it when they will have to again and again press the textbutton every time they die just to increase their speed. Because they will die so many times.
Back to the question:
I don't really know how to set the value to the same value it was before dying, so players don't need to press the text button every time they die.
I don't need datastores:
Because I just want the value to save when the player dies. Not when they leave the game.
Thanks for any help

Answer: Use remote functions and server storage. 1. Put a remote function in Replicated Storage so client and server can access it. 2. Add a folder of the player's x2 speed values. 3. Add a BoolValue of the player's name in the folder when they join using a server script in ServerScriptService.
01 | local speedFolder = Instance.new("Folder") |
02 | speedFolder.Name = "DoubledSpeed" |
03 | speedFolder.Parent = game.ServerStorage |
04 |
05 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
06 | local plrBoolValue = Instance.new("BoolValue") |
07 | plrBoolValue.Name = player.Name |
08 | plrBoolValue.Value = false |
09 | plrBoolValue.Parent = speedFolder |
10 | end) |
- Do a check function for checking the BoolValue in the folder. Needs to be a server script again.
01 | -- IF SEPARATE SERVER SCRIPT FROM ABOVE SCRIPT: |
02 | local speedFolder = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("SpeedFolder") |
03 | local remoteFunction = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteFunction") -- "RemoteFunction" must be replaced with the name of the remote function in replicated storage |
04 |
05 | remoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(player) |
06 | local doublePlayerSpeed = speedFolder:FindFirstChild(player.Name) |
07 | assert(doublePlayerSpeed ~= nil or doublePlayerSpeed:IsA("BoolValue"), "Player double speed value not found") -- errors if the BoolValue was not found/it isn't a BoolValue. |
08 | if doublePlayerSpeed.Value == true then -- if the speed is doubled |
09 | local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- makes sure "character" variable is not nil |
10 | character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 -- changes the speed |
11 | doublePlayerSpeed.Value = false -- changes the BoolValue's value |
12 | return true -- returns the condition the BoolValue was found in. |
13 | elseif doublePlayerSpeed.Value == false then -- if the speed is not doubled |
14 | local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() |
15 | character.Humanoid.Walkspeed = 25 |
- Invoke from the local script in text button if the text button was clicked (remote functions return a value/values depending on what you return in the server script/local script):
01 | local remoteFunction = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteFunction") -- "RemoteFunction" must be replaced with the name of the remote function in replicated storage |
02 |
03 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
04 | local doubledSpeed = remoteFunction:InvokeServer() |
05 |
06 | if doubledSpeed == false then -- checks if the speed is not doubled |
07 | script.Parent.Text = "2X Speed: On" |
08 | script.Parent.BackgroundTransparency = 0 |
09 | elseif doubledSpeed == true then -- checks if the speed is doubled |
10 | script.Parent.Text = "2X Speed: Off" |
11 | script.Parent.BackgroundTransparency = .5 |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
- Add an auto-speed setter script to set the speed if the player dies (SERVER SCRIPT):
01 | -- IF SEPARATE SERVER SCRIPT FROM PLAYERADDED SCRIPT: |
02 | local speedFolder = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("SpeedFolder") |
03 |
04 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- if the player is added |
05 | player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character) -- if the character is added for the first time |
06 | character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function() |
07 | character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait() or player.Character -- when the player respawns, character isn't nil |
08 | local speedDoubled = speedFolder:FindFirstChild(player.Name) |
09 | assert(speedDoubled ~= nil or speedDoubled:IsA("BoolValue"), "Double speed value not found") -- checks if the value is not nil or it isn't a BoolValue |
10 | if speedDoubled.Value == true then -- checks if the speed is doubled |
11 | character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25 -- sets the speed value |
12 | elseif speedDoubled.Value == false then -- checks if it's not doubled |
13 | character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 -- you might not actually need the elseif statement |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
16 | end) |
17 | end) |
EDIT: 7. Remove the values if the player is leaving to prevent duplicates/memory being wasted (SERVER SCRIPT ASWELL):
1 | -- IF SEPARATE SERVER SCRIPT FROM FIRST PLAYERADDED SCRIPT: |
2 | local speedFolder = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("SpeedFolder") |
3 |
4 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) |
5 | local plrBoolValue = speedFolder:FindFirstChild(player.Name) |
6 | assert(plrBoolValue ~= nil or plrBoolValue:IsA("BoolValue"), "Double speed value doesn't exist (2)") -- errors if the bool value is nil or it isn't a BoolValue |
7 | plrBoolValue:Destroy() |
8 | end) |
ALL DESCRIPTIONS ARE IN THE SCRIPT/INSTRUCTIONS. Hope this helps!
