you can have a script that handles the input and uses bindable functions to call those functions or you can have that separated into 2 functions in both scripts and use a bool to check whether to do something on that click or not.

#

either way you'll need to use either module scripts, values (IntValue, BoolValue...), bindable events or bindable functions

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 12:43 PM

Umm

#

I’m sry I don’t understand those words

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:27 PM

#

@bleak heath

#

bro u suck

#

u confusing me for no reason

#

i just found out how to do it

#

its legit 3 sentences

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:27 PM

#

say your answer

#

there are many ways of doing it

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:27 PM

#

if gui.Transparency == 0 then
gui.Transparency = 0.00001
else
gui.Transparency = 0

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:29 PM

#

how would i guess you wanted to use gui transparency for it. that falls under the "values"

#

you can have a bool value do the job

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:30 PM

#

wth is a bool value

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:30 PM

#

it is a boolean 💀

#

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/BoolValue

#

"An instance which is used to hold a boolean value. The value can be used for many things, including to communicate between scripts."

#

it's client-client or server-server communication. you should take the initiative to learn instead of finding one way of working around something

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:32 PM

#

idk what a bool is still

#

that didnt explain it

#

u just said a boolean has a boolean value

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:32 PM

#

i have no idea why you're messing with a gui without knowing what a bool is

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:32 PM

#

not helpful

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:32 PM

bleak heath i have no idea why you're messing with a gui without knowing what a bool is

bool shmool

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:32 PM

#

you should know lua before coding lol

#

bool is true or false

#

aka 0 (false) or anything other than 0 (true)

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:33 PM

#

ik that

#

still doesnt explain what it is

#

what it does

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:34 PM

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:34 PM

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:34 PM

does it tho

all that says boolean has a boolean value and can do stuff with scripts

#

studio ** You are now Level 9! ** studio

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:34 PM

#

Properties:
Value : bool

#

It says it is an instance therefore you can add it anywhere like adding a script

#

it says it has a property "Value" that is a bool (boolean)

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:35 PM

#

the word boolean value confused me

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:35 PM

#

boolean is bool

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:36 PM

#

so bool is just 0 or I

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:36 PM

#

no

#

it's 0 for false or anything other than 0 for true

#

it doesn't have to be 1 necessarily

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:37 PM

#

can i make it so instead of transparency i can just make up my own numbers

#

if booleanvalue == 0 then
booleanvalue = 1
else
booleanvalue = 0

#

can i do that

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:38 PM

#

yes

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:38 PM

#

how do i word it in code

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:39 PM

#

or like this:

-- the first script
if boolValue then return end
boolValue = not boolValue

-- the other script
if not boolValue then return end
boolValue = not boolValue

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:39 PM

#

id rather not change my transparency by 0.000I

#

why they gotta make it more complicated ;-;

#

aight thx

#

i have to replace boolvalue with numbers right?

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:42 PM

#

I'll send you photos and the code

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:43 PM

#

slate valley i have to replace boolvalue with numbers right?

on roblox studio (it uses luau) you can only set it to true or false

#

I think it can only be that and you need to explicitly write true or false

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

ohh

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

#

#

the 0.01 delay is because the events will fire at the same time and you can't be sure whether the script will change the value of boolValue before the other comparison is done. The same happens if you use the transparency for it

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

local bool = 2

gui.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if bool == 2 then
bool = 3
else
bool = 2

#

did this and it worked

#

i didnt know u could just make up numbers love it

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

slate valley local bool = 2 gui.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() if bool == 2 then ...

this is an int and not a bool if you are setting it to true or false

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

slate valley local bool = 2 gui.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() if bool == 2 then ...

you can have something like that in both scripts without needing a "BoolValue" which is an instance

#

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

is task.wait different to wait

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

it differs a bit but it's almost the same thing. let me check

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

also one more thing

#

to de(i forgot) do i do

wait(2)

bool is the basic of the basics

without help from youtube

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:01 PM

#

bleak heath

why BoolValue lmao?

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:01 PM

#

it's the same as declaring a bool in the localscript

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:01 PM

#

bleak heath

also wtf are u doin

#

why are u task waiting

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

i remember how to defrag

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

bleak heath it's the same as declaring a bool in the localscript

no, theres no reason for u have a WHOLE instance just for a bool value

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

its hi=true

wait
hi=false

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

because sometimes the boolValue.Value = not boolValue.Value happens before the comparison in the other event

#

that is why the task wait is there

#

maybe if you read the chat 💀

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:03 PM

#

what other event

#

fuck ar u talking about

#

are u doing debounce?

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:03 PM

#

yes and he is using mouse1clicked event

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 2:03 PM

#

de something

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:04 PM

bleak heath

you are delaying half of the event for no reason lmao 💀

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:04 PM

wtf is this

#

two inputbegan?????

#

for what

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:05 PM

#

it has nothing to do with his code. why don't you read the chat

#

the input began is because i didn't want to have a button and use mouse 1 clicked

#

i just coded that because he has that already

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:06 PM

#

bleak heath

all i see is this shit

#

two exact same scripts

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:06 PM

#

read the chat before replying lmao

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:06 PM

#

theres nothing important you said lmao

#

"read the chat"

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

bleak heath or like this: ```lua -- the first script if boolValue then return end boolValue...

ok u gave this, why tf did u add task.wait ??

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

also if you have 2 local scripts with mouse1clicked and do this

--script1
if boolValue.Value then return end
boolValue.Value = not boolValue.Value

--script2

if not boolValue.Value then return end
boolValue.Value = not boolValue.Value
```when using a boolvalue as instance it will happen that `boolValue.Value = not boolValue.Value` will run before the comparison in the other script causing it to run

slate valley Mar 9, 2024, 2:08 PM

#

fight fight fight

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:08 PM

#

bleak heath also if you have 2 local scripts with mouse1clicked and do this ```lua --script1...

why tf are two events even using the same bool value

#

stupid

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:09 PM

#

bleak heath also if you have 2 local scripts with mouse1clicked and do this ```lua --script1...

thats cuz ur doing not LMAO

#

if u set it to actual bool that its supposed to be

#

then it would work fine

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:09 PM

#

it would if the scripts had 2 different bools

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:09 PM

#

no

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

then what are you saying

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

u do realize not will change to opposite boolean

#

so if other script runs not

#

they both mix up

#

and makes other one run

#

when it shouldnt

#

thats why u set it to a needed boolean

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

you do realize they run at the same time right?

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

and not not boolean

#

THATS WHY UR STUPID NOT MAKES THEM MIX UP

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:11 PM

#

no it does not

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:11 PM

#

yes it do

#

also why tf are they running at the same time

#

wtf is he doing

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:11 PM

#

mouse1clicked in 2 local scripts

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:12 PM

#

WHY ?

#

FUCKING WHY

#

NOSHIT IT TRIGGERS IT TWICE

LITERALLY AT THE SAME EXACT TIME

#

you sound like the guy that makes viruses on toolbox

My shit broke cos the debounce

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

💀

#

noshit

#

u took a script from a guy who doesnt know shit

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:14 PM

#

that's not what i was saying about the task.wait. im saying that if, for example, boolValue was false then the script one
--script1
if boolValue.Value then return end
boolValue.Value = not boolValue.Value

would run but script2 shouldn't

--script2
if not boolValue.Value then return end
boolValue.Value = not boolValue.Value

but sometimes script1 will run before the comparison causing boolValue.Value = not boolValue.Value to run before the other comparison

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:14 PM

#

bleak heath that's not what i was saying about the task.wait. im saying that if, for example...

in script one, not boolValue should be set to true right?

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:15 PM

#

yes

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:15 PM

#

THEN FUCKING MAKE IT TRUE

#

and not not boolean

#

which will fucking make it opposite

#

when other script runs

#

u fucking moron

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:15 PM

#

it would do the same thing

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:15 PM

it wouldnt

spare bolt u took a script from a guy who doesnt know shit

he just helped make my own

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:15 PM

#

bleak heath you don't get what I'm saying

i do

#

im telling u

#

not will make it go opposite

#

so when in miliseconds the other script switches it

#

the other script will make it opposite

#

instead of true

#

just cuz u using not

#

also i still dont fucking get it

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:16 PM

#

look at this

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:16 PM

#

why two local scripts

#

for inputbegan

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:17 PM

#

#

only 1 input:

#

why? because boolValue.Value = true ran before the other comparison.

#

the script ran faster

#

than the other

#

the event i mean

#

that's why the delay exists to make sure both comparisons are done

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:18 PM

#

so u think switching it to not boolean and adding wait does it?

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:18 PM

#

that's all 💀

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:18 PM

#

bleak heath that's why the delay exists to make sure both comparisons are done

THEN WHY THE FUCKING NOT BOOLEAN

also answer again

why two localscripts for inputbegan

late fable Mar 9, 2024, 2:18 PM

#

"why two dads in my family"

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:18 PM

#

not boolean does the same thing

if boolValue.Value then return end    
boolValue.Value = true

if boolValue.Value then return end    
boolValue.Value = not boolValue.Value

#

that is the equivalent

#

because of the comparison before

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:19 PM

#

not if the other script runs faster and changes the boolvalue

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:19 PM

#

it is guaranteed to be false

cobalt walrus Mar 9, 2024, 2:19 PM

#

bleak heath not boolean does the same thing ```lua if boolValue.Value then return end b...

Actually the second one is slightly slower because it needs to first get the current value

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:19 PM

#

bleak heath

also why tf two different scripts for this

#

dont return

#

and do what u need to fucking do

#

since they are two different comparisons

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:20 PM

#

different scripts because the guy who made the post wants different scripts

#

and is using mouse1clicked

spare bolt Mar 9, 2024, 2:20 PM

you can indeed use bools in each script which is easier but alternating between scripts sometimes takes more than that. that's why i initially listed ways of doing so

bleak heath Mar 9, 2024, 2:23 PM
