Problems with variables. I can't figure out how to set up this script. Help please?
Trying to make a click detector button for different types of lights. All of the lights are billboard gui's, but I am just trying to enable and disable to shut them off. Also the lights are all individual. I feel like I'm missing a variable. Help please?
``
local isOn = false
function on()
for i = 1, 18 do
local light = script.Parent["RedLight" .. i].RedLight.Enabled
isOn = true
end
function off()
for i = 1, 18 do
local light = script.Parent["RedLight" .. i].RedLight.Enabled
isOn = false
end
function onClicked()
if isOn == true then off() else on() end
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
on()

I'm not completely sure what you're trying to accomplish.. but from the looks of it, you want to toggle a certain something whenever the ClickDetector is clicked...
If yes, you can simply make use of the if-else statement, which would allow you to execute code if a condition is true, or another piece of code if not true (false/nil).
All you would have to do is set up a function to toggle a pre-set boolean value, and using whatever said value for your works.
local status = false
-- assigning `status` to `false`
local toggle = function()
status = not status -- toggling boolean value to its opposite.
-- false would become true and vice versa
if status then -- if true then
print(status) -- true
for index = 1, 18 do
local light = script.Parent["RedLight"..index].RedLight.Enabled
end
else -- if not true (false/nil) then
print(status) -- false
for index = 1, 18 do
local light = script.Parent["RedLight"..index].RedLight.Enabled
end
end
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(toggle)

This is image lights, not stats. dluckey20 25 — 8y

I never mentioned "stats".. explain yourself better.. there's no such thing as 'Image lights", so say exactly what instance you are working with. ImageLabel 1541 — 8y
