Problem with my Gun Effect script?

Asked 58 views1 answers

I am making some effects for a gun, and the script i've attempted to create is supposed to create a forcefeild around the player on a key down toggle. i think possibly the weld could have gone wrong. I'm not sure.. Anyone got suggestions/ ideas why?

forcefeild=script.Parent.Forcefeild
 torso=script.Parent.Parent.Torso

local tool=script.Parent
tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
    mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "f" then
forcefeild.Script2.Disabled=false 

forcefeild.Anrchored=true
   local weld1 = Instance.new("Weld") 
 weld1.Parent=torso
 weld1.Part0=torso
   weld1.Part1 = forcefeild
 forcefeild.Anrchored=false

local i = 1
while( i > 6) do
forcefeild.Size = i,i,i
wait(.1)
i = i - 1
end
  elseif key=="f" then 
forcefeild.Script2.Disabled=true
local i = 6
while( i < 0) do
forcefeild.Size = i,i,i
wait(.1)
i = i + 1
end
end
  end)
end)

No offense, but you made a lot of errors and spelling mistakes.

First of all, you tried to make an else-if statement that has two of the exact same statements, basically if Key=="f" then elseif Key=="f" then end. Next you misspelled Forcefield multiple times (Dependent upon your variable name) Next, you never removed the weld when removing the forcefield. You also never changed the parent (I'm assuming this 'Forcefield' is a Part). Another thing, if you were to press F while it was resizing, it'd screw it up, I fixed that in the code below. Also, if you have a Part in a Tool, it will always show up in the workspace if the person has the tool equipped. I made it so it automatically parents it to ReplicatedStorage.

Code:

local Forcefield=script.Parent.Forcefield
Forcefield.Parent=game.ReplicatedStorage
local Torso=script.Parent.Parent.Torso
local Tool=script.Parent
local Enabled=false
local Resizing=false
local Weld

Tool.Equipped:connect(function(Mouse)
	Tool.KeyDown:connect(function(Key)
		if Resizing then return end
		Key=Key:lower()
		if Key=="f" then
			if not Enabled then
				Resizing=true
				Forcefield.Script2.Disabled=false
				Forcefield.Anchored=true
				Forcefield.Parent=script.Parent
				Weld=Instance.new("Weld",Torso)
				Weld.Part0=Torso
				Weld.Part1=Forcefield
				Forcefield.Anchored=false
				for i=1,6 do
					Forcefield.Size=Vector3.new(i,i,i)
					wait(.1)
				end
				Resizing=false
				Enabled=true
			elseif Enabled then
				Resizing=true
				Forcefield.Script2.Disabled=true
				for i=6,1,-1 do
					Forcefield.Size=Vector3.new(i,i,i)
					wait(.1)
				end
				Weld:destroy()
				Forcefield.Parent=game.ReplicatedStorage
				Resizing=false
				Enabled=true
			end
		end
	end)
end)
