Decal changing script doesn't work?
Hello all,
I am currently creating a TV and (hopefully) a working script that will change the Texture of the Decal after ever wait() that I do, but for some reason, it does not work.
Here's the script I've been trying to use.
--Variables--
local click = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local maindecal = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1241138052"
local decal = script.Parent.Decal
--Main Script--
click.MouseClick:connect(function()
wait()
click.MaxActivationDistance = 0
wait(.2)
decal.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1218165140"
wait(3)
decal.Texture = maindecal
wait(1)
click.MaxActivationDistance = 20
end)
I don't really know why this won't work, and it's such a simple thing too. Can someone please help?

instead of changing the texture, why don't you just clone a pre-done decal? Astralyst 389 — 7y

Your code seems fine, it's just a tad long. The problem is most likely that decals take time to load, so it will not work smoothly until the decals are loaded. You can preload them, but that's a bit complex for what you're doing.
If you try activating it a few times, does it work?
If not, I'm not to sure. If you'd like, a more efficient way to make a TV would to make a table of your IDs.
local decalIDs = {"id", "id", "id"}
local decal = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Decal")
local clickDetector = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ClickDetector")
function playTV()
for i, d in pairs(decalIDs) do
decal.Texture = d
wait()
end
end
clickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
playTV()
end)
