Is there an easier way to write this, without writing many times if I add more?
Is there an easier way to write this, without writing many times if I add more? The models are from replicated storage
01 | textBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function() |
02 | if textBox.Text == "DropperOne" then |
03 | placementModule:new("Dropper1", game.ReplicatedStorage.Models, plot.Plot, plot.PlacedObjects, false, true) |
04 | textBox.Text = "" |
05 | textBox.FocusLost = true |
06 | elseif textBox.Text == "DropperTwo" then |
07 | placementModule:new("Dropper2", game.ReplicatedStorage.Models, plot.Plot, plot.PlacedObjects, false, true) |
08 | textBox.Text = "" |
09 | textBox.FocusLost = true |
10 | elseif textBox.Text == "DropperThree" then |
11 | placementModule:new("Dropper3", game.ReplicatedStorage.Models, plot.Plot, plot.PlacedObjects, false, true) |
12 | textBox.Text = "" |
13 | textBox.FocusLost = true |
14 | elseif textBox.Text == "Conveyor" then |
15 | placementModule:new("Conveyor", game.ReplicatedStorage.Models, plot.Plot, plot.PlacedObjects, false, true) |
16 | textBox.Text = "" |
17 | textBox.FocusLost = true |
18 | end |
19 | end) |
Thanks for the Help!

There actually would be a way to shrink this using, as you might have guessed, dictionaries.
01 | local texts = { |
02 | DropperOne = "DropperOne", |
03 | DropperTwo = "DropperTwo", |
04 | DropperThree = "DropperThree", |
05 | Conveyor = "Conveyor", |
06 | } |
07 | textBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function() |
08 | if texts[textBox.Text] then -- check if it exists in our dictionary |
09 | local val = texts[textBox.Text]; -- now that it exists, lets assign it's value to a variable |
10 | placementModule:new((val), game.ReplicatedStorage.Models, plot.Plot, plot.PlacedObjects, false, true) -- use the ModuleScript with the value we got |
11 | textBox.Text = "" |
12 | textBox.FocusLost = true |
13 | end |
14 | end) |

Another question: is there a way to have the texbox lose its focus automatically? awesomemode14 68 — 5y
