Am I scripting local functions and events correctly in this script?
I started scripting around two months ago and decided to start branching out. For my first task, I decided to make a run button, and when the player runs, the game's brightness would increase, however, I need help, as it is not working and no errors are appearing in the output.
l--Player--
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = Player.Character
if not character or not character.Parent then
character = Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
end
--Services/Other--
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
--Variables--
local Head = character["Head"]
local LeftArm = character["Left Arm"]
local LeftLeg = character["Left Leg"]
local RightArm = character["Right Arm"]
local RightLeg = character["Right Leg"]
local Torso = character.Torso
--Functions--
function getTool()
for _, kid in ipairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if kid.className == "Tool" then return kid end
end
return nil
end
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function (key)
key = string.lower(key)
if string.byte(key) == 107 then
running = true
local keyConnection = mouse.KeyUp:connect(function (key)
if string.byte(key) == 108 then
running = false
end
end)
for i = 1,5 do
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = (70+(i*2))
wait()
end
game:GetService("Chat"):Chat(Head, "Clock Up...", Enum.ChatColor.Red)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 150
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 65
LeftLeg.BottomSurface = "Glue"
RightLeg.BottomSurface = "Glue"
repeat wait(99999999999999999999999999999999999999999) until running == false
keyConnection:disconnect()
game:GetService("Chat"):Chat(Head, "Clock Over...", Enum.ChatColor.Red)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50
LeftLeg.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
RightLeg.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
for i = 1,5 do
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = (80-(i*2))
wait()
end
end
end)
--Local Functions--
function brightUp()
if running == true then
game.Lighting.Brightness = 2
if running == false then
game.Lighting.Brightness = 1
end
end
end
game.Lighting.LightingChanged:connect(brightUp)
If more code is needed, just ask!

Just one question. Is anywhere in the script, are you defining 'running'? Nickoakz 231 — 8y

You should call the function, when he starts running xuefei123 214 — 8y

What exactly would that look like? Strykebyte 45 — 8y

Well if you make the script wait 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999 until it's allowed to check if running == false then you're gonna have to wait 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999 seconds before it prints anything too!
repeat wait(99999999999999999999999999999999999999999) until running == false --If you're just yielding until running == false you should drop that timer to something smaller...
Also, you can have KeyUp events to turn running off instead of waiting for disconnect events, it's how I do my own sprinting systems.

Yea, the "until running == false" part of your repeat loop will NOT be checked until the massive wait is over, Just do repeat wait() until running == false, it will still stop the script until running has stopped alphawolvess 1784 — 8y
