car gear script won't change gears. ?
I'm trying to make a script that does the following things -add 4 gears to a car -gear 4 only works if you have a gamepass - all shifted with z/x or L1/R1
the script is part of my localcarscript that gets copied into the player's playergui folder when it is driven.
here is my code so far
1 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | local stats = car:WaitForChild("Configurations") |
3 | local CAS = game:GetService("ContextActionService") |
4 | local staticspeed = stats.Speed.Value |
5 | local MPS = game:GetService("MarketplaceService") |
6 | local cargear = script.Gear.Value |
01 | function geardown(name,state,action) |
02 | if state == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then |
03 |
04 | elseif state == Enum.UserInputState.End then |
05 | cargear = cargear - 1 |
06 | if cargear < 1 then |
07 | cargear = 1 |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | function gearup(name,state,action) |
14 | if state == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then |
15 |
1 | CAS:BindActionToInputTypes("GearDown", geardown, true, Enum.KeyCode.Z, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL1) |
2 | CAS:SetPosition("GearDown", UDim2.new(.25,0,.25,0)) |
3 | CAS:SetTitle("GearDown", "Down") |
4 | CAS:BindActionToInputTypes("GearUp", gearup, true, Enum.KeyCode.X, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonR1) |
5 | CAS:SetPosition("GearUp", UDim2.new(.10,0,.25,0)) |
6 | CAS:SetTitle("GearUp", "Up") |
when i run it in studio there is no output, and the car stays in gear 3 (which is the default value of the gear integer)

Line 6: local cargear = script.Gear.Value
This line returns an integer. Not the Value property of script.Gear, just an integer. When you change it like cargear = x, you aren't updating the Value property of script.Gear, you're just updating that integer.
You need 'cargear' to be script.Gear, and change it with cargear.Value = x.
01 | local cargear = script.Gear |
02 |
03 | function gearup(name,state,action) |
04 | if state == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then |
05 |
06 | elseif state == Enum.UserInputState.End then |
07 | cargear.Value = cargear.Value + 1 |
08 | if cargear.Value > 4 then |
09 | cargear.Value = 4 |
10 | end |
11 |
12 | end |
13 | end |
as opposed to
01 | local cargear = script.Gear.Value |
02 |
03 | function gearup(name,state,action) |
04 | if state == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then |
05 |
06 | elseif state == Enum.UserInputState.End then |
07 | cargear = cargear + 1 |
08 | if cargear > 4 then |
09 | cargear = 4 |
10 | end |
11 |
12 | end |
13 | end |
Sorry if that explanation's overkill; I find this (quite common) issue quite finicky to put into words.
P.S. :connect() is deprecated, use :Connect() instead.
