Toggle script (true/false switch) is incorrect, help please ?

Asked by

I'm trying to do a test for later usage, it is about toggles. This is what I plan to do: When I click on a brick, it toggles between two different colors.

Here it is:

Trigger = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Switch').Trigger
Toggle = false

Trigger.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    if Toggle == false then
        Trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
            Toggle = true
    else
        Trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
            Toggle = false
    end
end)

It seems not to work... I have tried a lot of versions, which none of them worked, could anyone help me find the real, the functioning one, please ?

Here, let's try the following:

Trigger = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Switch').Trigger
Toggle = false

Trigger.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    if Toggle == false then
    --Your problem is here. It's not BrickColor.Red(), it's BrickColor.new("Red"). But Red doesn't exist, so what you would want is BrickColor.new("Really red"): A red variant, pretty similar to the original one.
        Trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
            Toggle = true
    else
    --Your problem is ALSO here. It's not BrickColor.Green(), it's BrickColor.new("Green"). But, once more, Green doesn't exist, so what you would want is BrickColor.new("Dark green"): A green variant, pretty similar to the original one.
        Trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Dark green")
            Toggle = false
    end
end)

If this works, please mark as the solution!

As always, good scripting!

You're only fixing one issue with his script, which is BrickColor.new(), the other issue is because he isn't checking if Toggle is equal to true. StoleYourClothes 105 — 7y

@supersmartnoobguy Can you mark this as the answer? It took some time to write, besides, it's the correct one! OfcPedroo 396 — 7y

Hope this resolves your issue.

Trigger = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Switch').Trigger
Toggle = false

Trigger.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(OnClicked)
    if Toggle == false then
        Trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
            Toggle = true

    elseif Toggle == true then
        Trigger.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
            Toggle = false
    end
end)

I managed to find and fix it now, I appreciate that you guys wanted to help me, but none of the answers you gave me were correct...

Boy = script.Parent
Toggle = true

function OnClicked()
    if Toggle == true then
        Boy.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
        Toggle = false
    else
        if Toggle == false then
            Boy.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
            Toggle = true
        end
    end
end

Boy.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(OnClicked)

Did you try my version? It is alot cleaner. And now you have switched it to a ClickDectector? You could've of elaborated your question more to tell us that it was for a ClickDetector and not a GraphicalUserInterface. Completely your fault, and what a waste of time. Real, nice.
