Making an action only occur when another one has?
Heya, it's me and my dumb buttons again.
So since last time I managed to make client sided buttons that activated on every child that can be activated by an event.
I have two buttons - one that fires a good quality (making the platform visible) and one that fires a bad quality (making the platform non-collidable)
My script for each in SeverScriptStorage is as shown
local ButtonPlatform = workspace.Button.ButtonPlatforms
local ButtonPressed = false
game.ReplicatedStorage.PropertyChangeGood.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
if not ButtonPressed then
ButtonPressed = true
for i, v in pairs (ButtonPlatform:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = 0
v.CanCollide = true
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.SuccessSound:Play()
ButtonPressed = false
end end end)
and
local ButtonPlatform = workspace.Button.ButtonPlatforms
local ButtonPressed = false
game.ReplicatedStorage.PropertyChangeBad.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
if not ButtonPressed then
ButtonPressed = true
for i, v in pairs (ButtonPlatform:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = 0.5
v.CanCollide = false
ButtonPressed = false
end end end)
this script works perfectly as intended, however if one stays standing on the block that fires the PropertyChangeGood, the sound plays over and over again and lags out the player (whilst also creating a abnormally loud environment.)
I was wondering if there was a way to only be able to active PropertyChangeGood if PropertyChangeBad has been fired before it? So if PropetyChangeGood were to be activated it would only work if PropertyChangeBad was true at the current time.
(Also ignore the irrelevant debouncer in the script, it doesn't do anything bad or good and I'm too lazy to get rid of it)
Thanks again hehe

What I would do is put a BoolValue in ReplicatedStorage and name it "PropertyChangedGood". We can check this value before running one of the events. To include this in your scripts, you would change them to look like this:
local ButtonPlatform = workspace.Button.ButtonPlatforms
local ButtonPressed = false
game.ReplicatedStorage.PropertyChangeGood.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local propertyChangedGood = replicatedStorage.PropertyChangedGood
if not ButtonPressed and propertyChangedGood == false then
ButtonPressed = true
for i, v in pairs (ButtonPlatform:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = 0
v.CanCollide = true
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.SuccessSound:Play()
ButtonPressed = false
end end end)
and
local ButtonPlatform = workspace.Button.ButtonPlatforms
local ButtonPressed = false
game.ReplicatedStorage.PropertyChangeBad.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local propertyChangedGood = replicatedStorage.PropertyChangedGood
if not ButtonPressed and propertyChangedGood.Value == true then'
propertyChangedGood.Value = false
ButtonPressed = true
for i, v in pairs (ButtonPlatform:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = 0.5
v.CanCollide = false
ButtonPressed = false
end end end)
I think this should work but I can't be sure without seeing your studio setup. Hope I helped out!
