I have just discovered Bools, how do I set one?

Alright so I just discovered bools a life saver to making my first game lass glitch-full! so I have theese two pieces of code:

function onClicked(playerWhoClicked)
	Local Mybool = true
	game.Workspace.B1.Transparency =100
	game.Workspace.PA.Transparency =0
	game.Workspace.PB.Transparency =0
	game.Workspace.PD.Transparency =0
	game.Workspace.PE.Transparency =0
	local points = playerWhoClicked.leaderstats.Money
points.Value = points.Value-20
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

and

function onClicked(playerWhoClicked)
	script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
	local points = playerWhoClicked.leaderstats.Copper
	points.Value = points.Value-1
	local debrisServ = game:GetService('Debris')
	local blockLife = 1
	local dropper = Instance.new('Part', game.Workspace)
	dropper.Anchored = false
	dropper.CFrame = CFrame.new(-133, 9, 93)
local dropPart = Instance.new('Part')
dropPart.Color = Color3.new(0,0,0)
wait(1.2)
local points = playerWhoClicked.leaderstats.Money
points.Value = points.Value+5
wait(4)
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
end


script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

So I really want to put bools into one of them but when I try to inset one by saying

Mybool= True

but whenever I try it gives me there errors like WOO1 not global, try localising it, expected = got Mybool, I just cannot seem to find how to make one work PLEASE HELP!

✓ Accepted answer

Line 2: Local should be local.

Also, Transparency is a float between 0 and 1.

Second: Put the line local Mybool = false somewhere at the top of the script and remove the "local" from line 2, that will allow it to be in scope of both functions.

Didn't work created it then gave me this error Workspace.Part.Script:40: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 1) near ''

What is on line 40?

Bool values in Lua are 'true/false', no caps. (It's not "False", or 'True') So to declare a global bool value you would use MyBool = true (Or false) Incorporate SwardGames' answer into your code, then make sure each function is closed with an 'end' statement. A local variable can only be used inside it's indent/block (you could have a bock without indentation). Eg, if you say

function myFunc()
	local var = 'Hello World'
	print("made a local variable!")
end
myFunc()
print("Local variable being called outside of block: ")
print(var)

You get 'nil' once you run the code, after the 'Local variable being called outside of block:' prints. However, if you want to be able to access the variable anywhere in the code. Just remove the 'local' part.

function myFunc()
	var = 'Hello World'
	print("made a local variable!")
end
myFunc()
print("Local variable being called outside of block: ")
print(var)
  • Prints 'Hello World'
