#

use warn?

#

or a gui pop up

#

would be nice

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

How do I link this and a gui pop up?

#

This is running inside the door

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

if not lockpick then
  local tempSG = Instance.new("ScreenGUI") 
  tempSG.Parent = player.PlayerGui

  local warning = Instance.new("TextLabel")
  warning.Visible = false
  warning.Parent = tempSG
  --customize label
  warning.Text = "no lockpick"
  warning.Visible = true
  
  task.wait(delay)
  
  warning:Destroy()
  tempSG:Destory()
end

#

very washed up

#

but that should work

#

i recommend adding a debounce btw

#

depending on if you have other local handlers it may be easier to use a rem event

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

will give it a try

#

I am getting player is an unknown global

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

oh

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

what should I define player as

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

you have to replace those

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

waxen meteor what should I define player as

the player

#

that the warning is going to display on

#

it would be in

#

game.Players.{insert player}

#

also

#

i think some of the capitalization is incorrect

#

on my draft

#

:p

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

I want it to do it for every player that trys to lockpick the door without a lock pick not a single person

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

right so

#

is the script a localscript?

#

the one that handles the door click

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

Nope

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

ok good

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

It is just script

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:15 PM

        local lockpick = parent.Character:FindFirstChild('Lockpick')
        if not lockpick then

#

oh ty thats better

plain plaza Jan 5, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

Fire a remote event pick it up from a local script then have data tables that get sent then change the gui text or wherever to what the data is that you sent

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

hmm its been a while since i used prox prompts 💀

#

do you know if i can get the triggering player

plain plaza Jan 5, 2023, 10:22 PM

#

Wdym?

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:22 PM

#

like

#

.Triggered:Connect(player)

#

does that return the player

#

who clicked

plain plaza Jan 5, 2023, 10:22 PM

#

Yea

#

Not clicks

#

Just proximity prompts

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:23 PM

#

oh ok

#

function onClicked(parent, player)
    if active == true then
        local lockpick = parent.Character:FindFirstChild('Lockpick')
        if not lockpick then
        local tempSG = Instance.new("ScreenGUI") 
          tempSG.Parent = player.PlayerGui

          local warning = Instance.new("TextLabel")

          task.wait(delay)
  
          warning:Destroy()

        end
        
        active = false
        tweenOpen:Play()
        script.Parent.Unlock:Play()
        print('bruh')
        prompt.ObjectText = "Door"
        prompt.ActionText = "Unlocked!"
        wait(5)

        prompt.ActionText = "Locked"
    end
end



script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
    onClicked(nil, player)
end)

#

that should work

#

oops

#

nvm fixed it

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

hearty robin that should work

assuming the proxPompt.Triggered returns the player

oh you removed return

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

um

#

oh

#

yeah

#

was that important?

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

Yea it prevents error

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

i didnt see what that returned

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

waxen meteor Yea it prevents error

it just gets rid of it?

#

but the code still wont work

#

right

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

The og code works with return

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

oh ok

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

The code that you gave me is not giving me a prompt

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

idk..

#

wdym

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

It is not doing anything

#

I am not getting warning text

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

OH

#

oops

#

forgot

#

i didnt know what the "parent" was for

#

so

#

when it runs the function

#

it gives parent nil

#

second last line

#

you should do something with that?

#

i dont understand what you need the parent for

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:28 PM

#

The parent in onClicked function?

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:28 PM

#

yes

#

what is it for?

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

that allows it to find the lockpick in the player

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

OH

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

because when you hold an item it gets moved out of backpacck

#

into player

hearty robin Jan 5, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

you should have said that earlier -_-

#

so

#

parent

#

is the player?

#

in game.players

waxen meteor Jan 5, 2023, 10:29 PM
