Is it possible for this script to work more than once?

Asked 306 views1 answers

Hello! I have made an Easter Egg in my place and I made a Gui that will pop up when the brick is touched, saying: You found an Easter Egg, The SkyHook! the Gui is in my starterGui called EggGui. It will pop up and play the victory sound but after I reset and go to the Brick and it doesn't pop up again. any way it can happen more than once?

here is the script:

function onTouched(hit)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.EggGui.Frame.Visible = true
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.EggGui.Sound:Play()
wait(2)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.EggGui.Frame.Visible = false

end

connection = script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Don't save it into a variable, try this:

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.EggGui.Frame.Visible = true
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.EggGui.Sound:Play()
	wait(2)
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.EggGui.Frame.Visible = false
end)

Replace the script with that and it should work. I made it connect to an anonymous function to save a bit of space. I'm not sure why you decided the save the connection in a variable, if you just declare it like I did it will work fine. I also see that you're using the LocalPlayer object, this can only be used in LocalScripts. So that may also be why it isn't working.

Changing it to a LocalScript broke it all together! But there isn't anything in my output!

You don't change it to a LocalScript! You use something else besides LocalPlayer, like game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent).PlayerGui.
