How i can tweak the camera by touching a part?

Asked 126 views2 answers

I am creating a scary game and I would like to know how to alter the camera so that saturation goes up and down suddenly as a function of jumpscare

Notice this is my first time scripting so I am 100% sure this is wrong

local part = script.Parent
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local function onPartTouched(otherPart)
	-- Get the other part's parent
	local partParent = otherPart.Parent
	-- Look for a humanoid in the parent
	local humanoid = partParent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		-- Do something to the humanoid, like set its health to 0
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -100
		wait(0.1)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = 0
		wait(0.1)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -100
		wait(0.1)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = 0
		wait(0.1)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -100
		wait(0.1)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = 0
		wait(0.1)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -100
		wait(0.1)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -100
		wait(0.1)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = 0
		wait(0.1)
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -100
		wait(0.1)
	end
end

ColorCorrection isn't a property of the Camera, it's an effect you can place into the Lighting. If you have a ColorCorrection effect in Lighting named "ColorCorrection", it would be located in game.Lighting.ColorCorrection.

Some other things I noticed:

  • Whenever you find yourself copy and pasting code, you should stop and write a loop instead.

  • You should add a debounce to make sure the jumpscare can't happen if it's already happening. Often when a character touches a part, multiple parts of it touch, so your effect might last a lot longer than you expected.

  • If this is in a server script, every player will see it. If you only want the player who touched the part to see the effect, take a look at RemoteEvents

Add a ColorCorrection effect into Lighting and then use this script (I just used the default name but if you changed it, change the name in the script)

local part = script.Parent
local debounce = false

local function onPartTouched(otherPart)
	-- Get the other part's parent
	local partParent = otherPart.Parent
	-- Look for a humanoid in the parent
	local humanoid = partParent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		if not debounce then
			debounce = true
			-- Do something to the humanoid, like set its health to 0
			for i = 1, 10, 1 do
				wait(.1)
				game.Lighting.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -100
				wait(.1)
				game.Lighting.ColorCorrection.Saturation = 0
			end
			debounce = false
		end
	end
end

This works thank you, this is my first time doing these things so im pretty much new

Anonymous#
local target = nil -- locate the PART you wanna touch not model, part
target.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local colorCorrection = cam.ColorCorrection.Saturation
for i = 1, 50 do 
colorCorrection = -100
wait()
colorCorrection = 0 
end
colorCorrection = 0
end)

Any errors, tell me, I havent yet checked the code to see if color correction is a valid member to script
