Toggle Status not doing what I want it to?

Asked 265 views1 answers

I'm trying to make it so that if you press E, your stance will be passive, and if you press E again your stance will be aggressive. If I press E, the game successfully changes the status to "Passive", but if I press it again the status stays at "Passive".

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local mode = Instance.new("StringValue", char.Torso)
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
wait(1)
mode.Name = "mode"
local GUI = Instance.new("ScreenGui", Player.PlayerGui)  -- //\\//ACTION TOGGLE VISUAL\\//\\ --
GUI.Name = "FDF"
local PA = Instance.new("TextButton", GUI)
PA.Size = PA.Size +UDim2.new(0,100,0,25)
PA.Draggable = true
PA.Text = "Status (E/<Attacks>)"
PA.Position = PA.Position +UDim2.new(0,1250,0,25)
script.Disabled = false
-- VARIABLES ABOVE --

-- FUNCTION BELOW --
function onKeyDown(key) -- ACTION TOGGLE --
	
	key = key:lower()

	if key == "e" then

		mode.Value = "Passive"
				PA.Text = mode.Value
		if mode.Value == "Passive" then

					char.Animate.idle.Animation1.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=700567206"
					char.Animate.idle.Animation2.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=700567206"
			char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 8
			end -- ends 'if mode == passive'
		end -- ends if
end -- ends function
function onKeyDown2(key) -- ACTION TOGGLE --

	if key == "e" then
		mode.Value = "Aggressive"
				PA.Text = mode.Value
			char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25
		end -- ends if
	end -- ends function
	
	


mouse.KeyDown:connect(onKeyDown)
mouse.KeyDown:connect(onKeyDown2)

Any solutions?

You should make sure you are using a local script on the client first. Then I would recommend you do something like this to get input for E:

local is_passive = true;
local debounce = false;
local function change_passive()
	if not debounce then
		debounce = true;
		if is_passive then
			--change the character accordingly
			is_passive = false;
		else
			--change the character accordingly
			is_passive = true;
		end
		wait(0.2);
		debounce = false;
	end
end
game:GetService("ContextActionService"):BindAction("change_mode", change_passive, false, Enum.KeyCode.E);

it is better to use ContextActionService and UserInputService for user input rather then the client's mouse. I hope this helps

Interesting suggestion but no cigar. It still doesn't toggle back and forth it only runs the first button press.

It should toggle back and forth according to what I tested. I would recommend increasing the wait time on line 13 just in-case you were holding the key for too long as I did my first go around.
