I am new to scripting

[daring zodiac]

Hi! I am new to scripting and am wondering how I can make a script so when they join my game they start at a certain size and decrease in size every second. Can someone help me with that please? Thank you

[daring zodiac]

anyone?

hello?

I don't know the size part, but you can do

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
  while true do
      --Change player's size
      wait(1)
    end
end)

You can probably find a tutorial on how to change the player's size

[daring zodiac]

is that a normal script

or a module script

[strange pebble]

local script in starterCharacter

[daring zodiac]

ok

[daring zodiac]

i have made a variable for the amount of seconds you have been in the game for

how will I change it by one every second?

@strange pebble

is this how i make a variable

don

don't think this is correct

@strange pebble

?

[strange pebble]

local seconds = 0

seconds += 1

[daring zodiac]

thanks

[strange pebble]

"local seconds" would make seconds a bool value, but you want an intvalue so you need to do

var = [your number]

(without the brackets)

[daring zodiac]

im confused still

[chrome steppe]

** You are now Level 3! **

[daring zodiac]

is var "seconds"

as a placeholder

[strange pebble]

yes

[chrome steppe]

** You are now Level 6! **

[daring zodiac]

so "seconds = [number]"

so like this?

[strange pebble]

yep

[daring zodiac]

ok

now i just need to figure out how to change the height

how would i put this into my code

I put the size changing code code into a different script ServerScriptService

so the seconds variable doesn't apply

as you can see by the red underline

[strange pebble]

put the seconds variable inside the function

[strange pebble]

also it should be +=

not +

[daring zodiac]

ok

[strange pebble]

additionally, what your current script does is change the player's size on join

not every second

It will also cap

[daring zodiac]

so like this?

i also moved the end) to the bottom

[strange pebble]

what are you trying to do with seconds

[daring zodiac]

i am trying to change it by 1 every second and also change the proportions of everyones avatars by seconds

[strange pebble]

also, consider watching basic scripting tutorials, I suggest AlvinBlox and Thedevking

[daring zodiac]

yeah

[strange pebble]

ima have to stop here because its 1 am here in argentina and my brain is fried

but one last thing

[daring zodiac]

ok

[strange pebble]

for those values "0.5" and "1.5" change them to variables

it'll help keep track of which value is which

[daring zodiac]

but there are multiple parts with 1.5

[strange pebble]

just make them the same variable

[daring zodiac]

oh ok

[strange pebble]

anyways, watch alvinblox and shit and you're welcome. peace 🥱

[daring zodiac]

one more thing

is this correct

[strange pebble]

there's no errors so prob yeah just test it and see if it works

cya

[daring zodiac]

ok

thanks
