Gui Script| Script Not Changing?
Idea Create a part, and focus the camera on it to use it as a gui background
Problem The script runs and does it fine, but the issue is that the gui doesn't change when a Bool value is changed in workspace? any ideas?
Possibility I think that I need to use a changed function, but I'm not sure how to set that up in this script.
Code
--------------------------------------------------------
-- Setup
--------------------------------------------------------
self = script.Parent
c = workspace.CurrentCamera
rs = game:GetService("RunService")
util = LoadLibrary("RbxUtility")
Create = util.Create;
music = self:WaitForChild("Music")
music:Stop()
music:Play()
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled("PlayerList",false)
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled("Health",false)
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled("Backpack",false)
---------------------------------------------------------
-- Screen Utilities
function ScreenSpaceToWorld(x, y, depth)
local resolution = self.AbsoluteSize
local aspectRatio = resolution.X / resolution.Y
local hfactor = math.tan(math.rad(c.FieldOfView)/2)
local wfactor = aspectRatio*hfactor
local xf, yf = x/resolution.X*2 - 1, y/resolution.Y*2 - 1
local xpos = xf * -wfactor * depth
local ypos = yf * hfactor * depth
return Vector3.new(xpos, ypos, depth)
end
function GetDepthForWidth(partWidth, visibleSize)
local resolution = self.AbsoluteSize;
local aspectRatio = resolution.X / resolution.Y
local hfactor = math.tan(math.rad(c.FieldOfView)/2)
local wfactor = aspectRatio*hfactor
return (-0.5*resolution.X*partWidth/(visibleSize*wfactor))
end
---------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
-- Build backdrop
local backdrop = Create'Part'
{
FormFactor = "Custom";
Anchored = true;
CanCollide = false;
TopSurface = "Smooth";
BottomSurface = "Smooth";
Material = "Neon";
BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Navy blue");
Parent = c;
}
function updateBackdrop()
local x,y = self.AbsoluteSize.X,self.AbsoluteSize.Y
local cx,cy = math.floor(x/2),math.floor(y/2)
local cz = GetDepthForWidth(40,x)
local ratio = y/x
local pos = ScreenSpaceToWorld(cx,cy,cz)
backdrop.Size = Vector3.new(40,40*ratio,0)
backdrop.CFrame = c.CoordinateFrame * CFrame.new(pos)
if game.Workspace.v.Value == false then
c.CameraType = "Scriptable"
c.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(9999,9999,9999)
if game.Workspace.v.Value == true then
c.CameraType = "Follow"
end
end
end
updateBackdrop()
rs.RenderStepped:connect(updateBackdrop)

Thanks :D

The changed event would work like this:
updateBackdrop() --First time setup
Workspace.v.Changed:connect(function() --Will be called if the value changes
updateBackdrop()
end)
You will have to create another function for the actual camera movement.
This might work?

im a tiny bit confused on how i would incorperare that, i tried and it didnt work, can i a bit more help? Thanks :D pluginfactory 463 — 8y

Would would need to handle the camera movement stuff in it's own function (called by the RenderStepped event), and leave the if statement stuff (line 70-75) in the current function. darkelementallord 686 — 8y

You also messed up your if statements in the updateBackdrop function. The value would have to be false, and true to make the cameratype "follow" darkelementallord 686 — 8y
