I was trying to make a script that changed text of a GUI to something else after pressing "Z" button, but i could only make it do first function. How can i make it do second function after first function?


local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
    key = key:lower()
    if key == "z" then 
 One()
end
 end)

function One()
script.Parent.Text = "..."
end

function Two()
script.Parent.Text = "Test1"
end

function Three()
script.Parent.Text = "Test2"
end

I think it would be easier if you just added a wait event between each function, or you could use a table as IdiomicLanguage stated. It's also best to use UserInputService, as KeyDown is deprecated.

function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
    if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
        One()
        wait(3)
        Two()
        wait(3)
        Three()
    end
end

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)

More information here. If this helped, please accept answer! Thanks!

This is a little bit more powerful than you are asking for, but perhaps it will be a learning experience for you:



local curFunc = 0
local funcOptions = {
function () script.Parent.Text = "..."      end;
function () script.Parent.Text = "Test1"    end;
function () script.Parent.Text = "Test2"    end;
}

local function onMouseKeyDown(key)
    if key:lower() == "z" then 
        curFunc = (curFunc % #funcOptions) + 1
        funcOptions[curFunc]()
    end
end)

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(onMouseKeyDown)

UserInput this way is deprecated, you should convert to UserInputService. Azarth 3141 — 6y

The script doesnt seem to work in game (but it works in studio). Also the problem is that i'm a beginner in scripting. Unity_456 47 — 6y
