Send the full snippets of when you trigger the remote event

#

Alr

misty gyro Send the full snippets of when you trigger the remote event

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

Oh that's you again !

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

Yep

#

roblox doesnt want let me to make a game

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

But you upate the battery each heartbeat

#

Dont do that

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

Ohhh

#

Should i just get rid of renderstepped?

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 11:07 AM

#

No

#

Instead, fire the server when the property of the image xhanges

#

You can use GetPropertyChangedSignal

#

On your imagelabel

#

To listen the Image property

#

And also, I highly recommend to create a remote event for each player if your game allows a lot of player to join

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 11:09 AM

#

Singleplayer

#

Like this?

#

Pog

#

it isnt talking anymore

#

Although

#

The light doesnt actually spawn

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 11:18 AM

#

No

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 11:20 AM

#

This is what should happen but the light doesnt go to that position

#

And it gives 0 errors

#

Paul can you help me?

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:05 PM

Back

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:05 PM

#

So

#

I tried with a script and localscript but still nothing

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:05 PM

#

ok so

local function UpdateBatteray(battery)
  local result = nil
  for i = 0, 100, 25 do
    result = batteryImages[i]
    if i >= battery then break end
  end
  imageLabel.Image = result
end

#

this is what you have right ?

#

and then you added

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:08 PM

#

function UpdateBattery(battery)
    assert(type(battery) == "number")
    local result = nil
    for i = 0, 100, 25 do
        result = batteryImages[i]
        if i >= battery then break end
    end
    print(math.round(battery), Toggle)
    imageLabel.Image = result
end

#

this

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

[Heartbeat]
  UpdateBattery()
end)

local function UpdateBatteray(battery)
  local result = nil
  for i = 0, 100, 25 do
    result = batteryImages[i]
    if battery ~= 0 then
      positionFlash:FireServer(true, Clone, Mouse, cam)
    else
      positionFlash:FireServer(false, Clone, Mouse, cam)
    end
    if i >= battery then break end
  end
  imageLabel.Image = result
end

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

unique anvil ```lua function UpdateBattery(battery) assert(type(battery) == "number") ...

yes and you added the if ... then

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:10 PM

#

misty gyro ```lua [Heartbeat] UpdateBattery() end) local function UpdateBatteray(battery...

now first lets just clean that a bit

RunService.RenderSteeped:Connect(function()
  UpdateBattery()
end)

local function UpdateBatteray(battery)
  local result = nil
  for i = 0, 100, 25 do
    result = batteryImages[i]
    positionFlash:FireServer(battery ~= 0, Clone, Mouse, cam)
    if i >= battery then break end
  end
  imageLabel.Image = result
end

there you go

#

alright so now

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:10 PM

#

i did this ```lua
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
UpdateBattery(battery)
imageLabel:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Image"):Connect(function()
positionFlashlight:FireServer(Toggle, Mouse, cam)
end)
if Toggle then
battery = math.max(battery - drainRate)
end
end)

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:10 PM

#

yes then go back to the old verion

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:10 PM

#

misty gyro now first lets just clean that a bit ```lua RunService.RenderSteeped:Connect(fun...

to this4

#

now instead of this

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:10 PM

#

Yep

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:12 PM

#

we will do something like that

RunService.RenderSteeped:Connect(function()
  if Clone then UpdateBattery(battey) end
end)

local function UpdateBatteray(battery)
  local result = nil
  for i = 0, 100, 25 do
    result = batteryImages[i]
    if i >= battery then break end
  end
  if ImageLabel.Image == result then return end -- We dont need to change the image label
  imageLabel.Image = result
end

#

and then

#

RunService.RenderSteeped:Connect(function()
  if Clone then UpdateBattery(battery) end
end)

imageLabel:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Image"):Connect(function()
  positionFlashlight:FireServer(battery ~= 0, Clone, Mouse, cam)
end)

local function UpdateBattery(battery)
  local result = nil
  for i = 0, 100, 25 do
    result = batteryImages[i]
    if i >= battery then break end
  end
  if ImageLabel.Image == result then return end -- We dont need to change the image label
  imageLabel.Image = result
end

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:13 PM

Mhm

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:13 PM

#

and thats it

#

i may have made some typos

#

but this should work fine

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:14 PM

#

um

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:14 PM

#

?

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:15 PM

positionFlashlight:FireServer(battery ~= 0, Mouse, cam)
``` so im firing this but i want to recieve this ```lua
positionFlashlight.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(toggle, cam, Mouse )

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:15 PM

#

toggle is supposed to be a true / false ?

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:15 PM

#

mhm

#

if its on or off

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:15 PM

#

and you expect true and false ?

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:15 PM

#

mhm

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:16 PM

#

well yes

#

but no

#

positionFlashlight.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, toggle, cam, Mouse )

#

by default, your FireServer send the player that triggers it

#

so you should add it

#

and it should work

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:17 PM

#

umm nothing is happening ingame nor in output

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:18 PM

alr

#

and you want it triggers the event when ?

#

when battery change or image changes ?

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

everytime basically

#

since the flashlight has to be in the cameras position

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:22 PM

#

like each tick ?

#

or each seconds ?

#

or each what

#

cause "everytime" doesnt really tell me when lol

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:23 PM

#

i just want it to be smooth when turning and moving around

#

not choppy

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

you want the spotlight to follow the player mouse ?

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

yeah

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

why do you need to server side this ???

#

since its a 1 player game

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:25 PM

#

idk man

#

im dumb

#

oh wait

#

i know why i did serverside

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:25 PM

?

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:26 PM

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:26 PM

#

I had put everything server side T-T

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:26 PM

#

misty gyro thats normal

it have nothing to do with client / server side

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:27 PM

#

because you sent Clone as the tweeninfo in your event

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:28 PM

#

bruh

#

...

#

should i put everything into 1 localscript?

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:34 PM

#

bro why just not doing

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

#

unique anvil should i put everything into 1 localscript?

u can

#

just make it not ugly

unique anvil Dec 19, 2023, 12:35 PM

#

misty gyro just make it not ugly

cant promise that

#

my code is always spaghetti

misty gyro Dec 19, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

follow some basic conventions

#

Classes, Service, Functions    => PascalCase
variables                      => camelCase
CONSTANT_VARIABLES             => SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

this is the one i use
Example:

local Players = game:GetService("Players") -- service
local Foo = require(...) -- class

local function DoSomething(argument) -- function
  local stuff = ... -- variable
  return stuff
end

local MULTIPLIER = 3 -- variable that will not change
local object = Foo.new(MULTIPLIER) -- class object (variable)
