UNANSWERED Weapon Class Gui Help?

Asked 306 views2 answers

I made this weapon class gui but i want to add to it that classes 2- 6 wont be able to be clicked unles they have the level needed..meaning that what ever there level is in leaderboard it will unlock.. like say class 2 needs level 4 to be able to be clicked in the frame they are all name class 1,class2, class 3 and so on

Here it is


player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent 
backpack = player.Backpack 

function chooseClass(class)
	for i, v in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do v:remove() end
	for i, v in pairs(class:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Tool") then
			v:clone().Parent = backpack
		elseif v:IsA("HopperBin") then
			v:clone().Parent = backpack
		end
	end
	script.Parent.Main.Visible = false --no new class for a little bit
	wait(600000)
	script.Parent.Main.Visible = true --allow to pick a different class
end

for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Main:GetChildren()) do
	v.MouseButton1Up:connect(function () chooseClass(v) end)
end

This script is very strange... I only don't understand what's happening in your generic loop on line 18, I don't think that would even work... All you'll need to do is check where the level is stored to view the value and if it's not = to it, do nothing

Between lines 4 and 5 (or in line 19 before you call chooseClass(v)) you need to check the local player's value (probably in player.leaderstats .Rank.Value) for the proper value.

You will probably want to set up a table to keep track of the level requirements, like this:

levelRequirements = {1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 100} --level required for class1, class2, etc

Between lines 4 and 5 put this:

	local classNum = tonumber(class.Name:sub(6))
	if player.leaderstats.Rank.Value < levelRequirements[classNum] then
		--do something to show the player that they don't have the level for this class
		return
	end

(Don't forget to change player.leaderstats.Rank.Value to reflect whatever you've got setup in your game)

Use the 'levelRequirements' line; put it anywhere before line 4 (line 4 in your original script)

It's because you're making it wait 600000 SECONDS?! (or almost 7 days).. In other words you pause the script (thread, more precisely) for that much time.

Anyway, why do you need wait 7 days?!

If you really have a reason to, here are a bunch of ways to fix it

1. Use a separate thread using coroutines

-- Examples
function chooseClass(class)
	coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function() -- THIS
		-- ............
	end))
end

function chooseClass(class)
	coroutine.wrap(function() -- THIS
		-- ............
	end)()
end

2. Use a separate thread using the spawn function

-- Examples
function chooseClass(class)
	spawn(function() -- THIS
		-- ............
	end)
end

-- ... OR
for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Main:GetChildren()) do
	v.MouseButton1Up:connect(function ()
		spawn(function() -- THIS
			chooseClass(v)
		end)
	end)
end

3. Use the delay function

Instead of..

script.Parent.Main.Visible = true
wait(600000)

Do..

delay(600000, function()
	script.Parent.Main.Visible = true
end)

dude this still wont work with the type im talking about.. i mean like for classes 2 - 6 i want it to be non clickable unless they have the certain amount of rank needed in the leaderboard

Keep in mind that the wait won't be consistent. You will need to use datastore to allow the user to pick a class weekly.
