#

the code is somewhat working because when i go ingame and scroll the mousewheel forward, it adds 1 to the range value of the flashlight, but only does it once, and never again when i scroll forward more

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 7:28 AM

#

That means you did something wrong with the handling

#

can u show the code again or did you fifx it

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 7:29 AM

#

i got it working now, but ill send you the portion that i got working to see if you can help me understand what couldve went wrong

#

i deleted the old code before you typed so i cant get it back

#


local function FlashlightToggle()
    if FlashL.Enabled == true then
        FlashL.Enabled = false
    elseif FlashL.Enabled == false then
        FlashL.Enabled = true
    end
end

local function ZoomingFORWARD()
    if FlashL.Range == FlashL.Range then
        FlashL.Range = math.clamp(FlashL.Range + add, 15, 60)
    end
end

local function ZoomingBACKWARD()
    if FlashL.Range == FlashL.Range then
        FlashL.Range = math.clamp(FlashL.Range - sub, 15, 60)
    end
end

-- Connecting --

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
        FlashlightToggle()
    end
end)

Mouse.WheelForward:Connect(ZoomingFORWARD)
Mouse.WheelBackward:Connect(ZoomingBACKWARD)```

#

working code

#

im thinking it has to do with something i did in the "Flash.Range = math.clamp(FlashL.Range + add, 15, 60)", cuz i had variables set up for the default range of the light, which was a value instead of the actual property

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 7:32 AM

#

Btw for the FlashlightToggle you can simplify and to "FlashL.Enabled = not FlashL.Enabled

#

pretty much short for "toggle != toggle"

Yes that was the problem

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 7:34 AM

#

i was thinking that!! thank you for helping ^^

but can you explain this a little more please? /nf

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 7:36 AM

#

i didnt see ur old code but you might of tried to add a value to the range instead of the actual property?

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 7:36 AM

#

heavy surge i didnt see ur old code but you might of tried to add a value to the range inste...

yeh thats exactly how it was

#

lemme try to recreate it

#

    if FlashL.Range == FlashL.Range then
        FlashL.Range = math.clamp(defRange + add, 15, 60)
    end
end```

for context, "defRange" is a variable i have set up to equal 15

#

and "add" is a variable equal to 1

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 7:39 AM

#

yup

#

your add and defrange which is a constant value of 15. Which means no matter how much times u scroll with your mouse the flashl.range will always be clamped to a value between 15 and 16

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 7:41 AM

#

yehh, i figured that out when i added the actual range property inplace of defRange

#

makes a looot more sense now

#

thank you so much!! <3

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 8:25 AM

#

ok i might actually need help with something else now @heavy surge

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

yes?

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 8:34 AM

#

So here's a video of the flashlight working, I'm wanting to now make it to where it'll smoothly change the range and angle instead of being choppy like this

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 8:35 AM

#

have u tried tweening?

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 8:35 AM

#

I'm trying to use Tweens to do that, but it's messing with the actual part of the code that changes the range, and makes it lose range (for some reason)

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 8:35 AM

#

et me take a look at the code

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 8:36 AM

i might know why, but im not too sure either

You can try this

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 8:39 AM

#

kindred ice So here's a video of the flashlight working, I'm wanting to now make it to where...

I dont think it looks choppy

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 8:40 AM

#

yeh youre not wrong, i js would like it to be a bit smoother

stone muskBOT Dec 31, 2023, 8:40 AM

#

studio ** You are now Level 4! ** studio

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 8:40 AM

#

btw it works, thx!

#

and im pretty sure i understand too!

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 8:41 AM

#

The tween will always use the value of the FlashL.Range and FlashL.Angel when it starts then it will tween towards the goal values

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 8:42 AM

#

yehhh thats what i was thinking after seeing that, i forgot it actually messes with the values

#

anyways im gonna try and finish the rest of this flashlight! ill let yk if i need help with anything ^^

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

so i might need help with 2 small things @heavy surge you ok with that?

heavy surge Dec 31, 2023, 8:38 PM

#

sure

kindred ice Dec 31, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

alr gimme a sec

#

im implementing a blacklight system to where when i press Q while the normal flashlight is on, it changes to the blacklight and its properties. the problem is when i enable the blacklight, i can also enable the flashlight with it, making a weird effect

#

hello?

#

ah there we go

#

smt weird happened lol

heavy surge Jan 1, 2024, 10:02 AM

#

you can add a toggle for it

#

like when the flashlight is on it will turn off and go to blacklight

#

when blacklight is on it turns off and flashlight turns on

kindred ice Jan 1, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

Yeh that's what I'm trying to do, do you wanna see what I've got with it
