Ok so I decided to go a different route. Im going to use the magic of the "target" builtinfunction to reference each tile.
This has the benefit of not having to keep a massive table of data and i can keep track of whether a current tile is selected or not. I started coding and got real excited when I started to get a system that worked here it is:
Bin = script.Parent
hasoldtarget = false
oldtarget = nil
function onButton1Down(mouse)
target = mouse.Target
if target.Name == "Plot" then
target.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(21)
if hasoldtarget == false then
target.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(22)
oldtarget = target
hasoldtarget = true
return
end
if hasoldtarget == true and oldtarget ~= target then
oldtarget.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(0)
target.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(24)
oldtarget = target
print(oldtarget)
return
end
if hasoldtarget == true and oldtarget == target then
oldtarget.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(0)
target.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(0)
oldtarget = target
return
end
end
end
function onButton2Down(mouse)
target = mouse.Target
if target.Name == "Plot" then
target.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(23)
end
end
function onSelected(mouse)
mouse.Icon = "rbxasset://textures\\GunCursor.png"
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() onButton1Down(mouse) end)
mouse.Button2Down:connect(function() onButton2Down(mouse) end)
end
Bin.Selected:connect(onSelected)
IT WORKS!!!...BUT ONLY IN THE STUDIO!!! fml...
Quick rundown of how code works. I'm essentially trying to keep track of what tile is being selected. The code looks at the target clicked and stores it. It then changes the color of the tile based on whether or not it is a tile (called 'em "plots") from last click or a new one. The colors are as follows
Pink(22) = the first selected tile (player is using the tool for the first time so there is no stored previous)
Yellow(23)= The current selected tile (I plan to add building functionality with the right click and all it will need to do is check if the "plot"color is yellow)
Grey(0)=A previously selected, but now un-selected tile (Selecting the same plot twice will de-select)
I thought it was a pretty lightweight solution but for WHATEVER reason the code doesn't run on an actual server. The gun cursor wont even load (mouse.Icon = "rbxasset://textures\GunCursor.png")
