GUI only popping up when the part is touched?

Asked 367 views1 answers

I only want my gui to show when the part is being touched, right now it is staying on the screen until you X out of it. This is what I have using a remote event(probably wrong thing to use)

local limit = 2
 
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
	       
	        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	        if player.leaderstats.Points.Value >= limit then
	           
	            if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
	                script.Parent.CanCollide = false
	            elseif hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso") then
	                script.Parent.CanCollide = false
	           
	        end
	    end
	end
end)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")then
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Popup:FireClient(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent))
	end
end)

it pops up when a part is touched but I only want it to show when the part is being touched, right now it stays after you stop touching the part

Why are you even using :FireClient()? The player GUI can be accessible by doing game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent). Bruh

if you want it to pop up when touched, do script.Parent.Touched, and when you want it to go away, use script.Parent.TouchEnded.

Your solution to this is TouchEnded. CanCollide has nothing to do with stopping a touched event, so don't use that. This is what you should be using

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) then
		-- Fire a client event to pop up a GUI
	end
end)

Part.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) then
		--Close the GUI with a client event
	end
end)

A better solution would be to use magnitude from a local script. It will work nicely if it's a cylinder too. That would work like this

local RunService = game:GetService('RunService')

local Range = 10 --Distance in studs
local Part = game.Workspace.Part --Part that you want to detect when touched
local LocalPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer

repeat wait() until LocalPlayer.Character

local PlayerCharacter = LocalPlayer.Character
local HumanoidRootPart = PlayerCharacter:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart')

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function() --fires every frame/FPS
	if (HumanoidRootPart.Position - Part.Position).magnitude < Range then
		--Pull up the GUI from here

	else
		--Close the GUI here
	end
end)

Hope this helps out.
