What's wrong with my function script? The text transparency doesn't change after two clicks
Hello,
I'm self-learning how to use a script that defines the function then uses it. I know some basics but I'm trying to perfect it. But I try this script, but it doesn't work.
local button = script.Parent
local chosen = false
function Chosen()
if chosen == false then
button.TextTransparency = 0
elseif chosen == true then
button.TextTransparency = 1
end
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Chosen)
What i'm trying to do is basically when you press a text button, the button.TextTransparency = 0, but that's if they haven't already chosen it. I'm making a choice selection GUI, so you pick a choice and then press a button to make the GUI disappear.
You press a text box that you have picked, and the text "Chosen" will come up. I have set the transparency the text to 1, so it can be set to zero. I then I have a variable called "local chosen = false" (basically meaning that it has not been chosen yet, but when it is chosen, the value will be set to true.
The issue is that once when I have pressed the option, it says "Chosen", and when I press it again, the text transparency is 1. This part is okay so far but the issue is when I press the button again, the text transparency does not change, but I want it to.
I'm guessing that some sort of loop might have to be set up to make sure this function occurs again and again.
How would I achieve this?
Thanks, Tony

The variable needs to be changed from false to true and vice versa for this function to work correctly.
local button = script.Parent
local chosen = false
function Chosen()
if not chosen then
button.TextTransparency = 0
chosen = true
elseif chosen then
button.TextTransparency = 1
chosen = false
end
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Chosen)
0
this should help ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ local button = script.Parent local chosen = false
function Chosen()
if chosen == false then
button.TextTransparency = 0
chosen=true--setting chosen to true--
elseif chosen == true then
button.TextTransparency = 1
chosen=false--if you what to make it show when you click again--
end
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Chosen)

You forgot to Update the variable after click.
Example:
-- Incorrect(NO UPDATE)
local value = true
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if value == true then
print("True")
-- Here repeat printing "True" in all clicks, why? you forgot to update the variable. for fix this, simple change the variable named as "value" to false. (see this in next example.)
else
print("False")
end
end)
--[[
Output (3 clicks):
True
True
True
]]
-- Correct(UPDATING)
local value = true
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if value == true then
print("True")
value = false -- Updated the variable the variable for print "False" in next click
else
print("False")
value = true -- Update the variable for print "True" in next click
end
end)
--[[
Output (3 clicks):
True
False
True
]]
Fixed script:
local button = script.Parent
local chosen = false
function Chosen()
if chosen == false then
button.TextTransparency = 0
chosen = true
elseif chosen == true then
button.TextTransparency = 1
chosen = false
end
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(Chosen)
