How to make dialogue script work when player character touches part? | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

Hello, I am trying to make it so when a player touches the part with their character the dialogue begins
I've tried making it work but I am so unschooled in learning I have NO clue how to even figure it out

local say = {"You are now breathing manually"}
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
    local f = true
    if plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled == true or plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui2.Enabled == true then
        f = false
    end
    if f == true then
        f = false
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = true
        for i, v in pairs(say) do
            for i = 1, string.len(v) do wait(0.045)
                plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = string.sub(v, 1, i)
                script.Dia:Play()
            end
            wait(string.len(v) / 10)
        end
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = false
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = (" ")
        f = true
    end
end)

(foregive me i have no idea what tags to use in this situation)

#

I tried replacing "ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)" with "Touched:Connect(function(plr)"

#

And then below that with "if game:GetService('Players'):GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent) then"

ok

#

F is used to see if the screenGUI is enabled or disabled

#

you should move F outside of the current scope

#

as every time you click the part it would become true even if the screenGUI is enabled

#

and may give problems

#

but its not really necessary

#

as in the if plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled == true or plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui2.Enabled == true then it would make it false again

#

then

#

if its a local script

#

make it a server script (aka normal script)

#

join the 2 if's together using else

#

you would get something like this

#

local say = {"You are now breathing manually"}
local f = true

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
    if plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled == true or plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui2.Enabled == true then
        f = false
    else
        f = false
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = true
        for i, v in pairs(say) do
            for i = 1, string.len(v) do wait(0.045)
                plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = string.sub(v, 1, i)
                script.Dia:Play()
            end
            wait(string.len(v) / 10)
        end
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = false
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = (" ")
        f = true
    end
end)```

#

now

#

i couldnt see if after script.Dia:Play() gave errors cause i didnt have that dialog

#

i tested it and it worked

bleak gale Aug 5, 2024, 7:00 PM

#

#

well

#

why did you use click detector?

#

you have to use .Touched

#

so it would be like this

#

local say = {"You are now breathing manually"}
local f = true

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if plr then
        if plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled == true or plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui2.Enabled == true then
            f = false
        else
            f = false
            plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = true
            for i, v in pairs(say) do
                for i = 1, string.len(v) do wait(0.045)
                    plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = string.sub(v, 1, i)
                    script.Dia:Play()
                end
                wait(string.len(v) / 10)
            end
        end
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = false
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = (" ")
        f = true
    end
end)```

#

you may have to tweak the scopes a bit since coding in discord isnt very easy

velvet merlin why did you use click detector?

Hey, I see you didn't ping me
PLEASE PING ME
But yes I did use click detector but I want to make it function when the player touches a part when they're using their body, thank you
PS:
This is the original script

local say = {"You are now breathing manually"}
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
    local f = true
    if plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled == true or plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui2.Enabled == true then
        f = false
    end
    if f == true then
        f = false
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = true
        for i, v in pairs(say) do
            for i = 1, string.len(v) do wait(0.045)
                plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = string.sub(v, 1, i)
                script.Dia:Play()
            end
            wait(string.len(v) / 10)
        end
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = false
        plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = (" ")
        f = true
    end
end)

velvet merlin ```lua local say = {"You are now breathing manually"} local f = true script.Par...

So this DOES work, but...

studio ** You are now Level 5! ** studio

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

Ohh, you want the player to touch the part and then, when the player touches the part, the click detector gets enabled and the player can click the part?

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

velvet merlin Ohh, you want the player to touch the part and then, when the player touches the...

No

#

There were no console errors

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:24 AM

#

Oh

#

Thats because the hit gets activated multiple times

#

Theres an easy way to fix that

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

Remove the part or script?

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

Ill send u the code later cause rn im on mobile

#

So i cant really script

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

That's okay

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:26 AM

#

What is f used for?

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:26 AM

#

Idk

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:26 AM

#

Ill read the entire script

#

Is screengui2 the outline or what is it

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:28 AM

#

No it's another dialogue box

#

Idk why that is there

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:29 AM

#

Yeah

#

Well

#

If it doesnt really make sense in this context you can remove it

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:29 AM

#

Huh

#

I never used to be able to do that

#

Otherwise a whole bunch of errors would surface

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:30 AM

#

What

#

If that dialogue is for another part or sm you dont need it scripted in that part

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:31 AM

#

velvet merlin If that dialogue is for another part or sm you dont need it scripted in that par...

I might be plain stupid

#

Thank you

#

For your help

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:31 AM

#

No problem

#

And why would you make an if statement that determines if f is false or.. false

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:33 AM

#

I figured out ehat f is used for

#

It's to enable/disable touching the part

#

I think

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:33 AM

#

Oh

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:33 AM

#

Nope

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:33 AM

#

But f is just debounce rn

#

Its a boolean paranted to nothing

#

But you cant disable hit neither

#

Not like click detectors

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:34 AM

#

I'm so confused

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:35 AM

#

I shall just rewrite the whole script

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:35 AM

#

Okay so

#

Oh okay

#

Sorry

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:37 AM

#

Sorry for what?

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:38 AM

#

That you have to rewrite the whole script

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:38 AM

#

It's completely okay

#

Its my choice anyways

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:40 AM

#

Okay

#

Thank you again

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:43 AM

#

Pretty sure f is for various uses

#

Per example, on the
if f == true then
you made f = false, after the for loop, you made it true

#

so it may be to determine if the loop is running?

#

idk f is confusing

#

@bleak gale

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:45 AM

#

So it stops loop

#

Because the loop is used for when the text appears

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:45 AM

#

yeah

#

it doesnt stop it tho

#

the for loop is gonna continue to run and it will proceed after it finished

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:47 AM

#

But I do want text to appear like in Undertale

#

What work arounds are there?

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:48 AM

#

It works fine pretty sure

oblique shellBOT Aug 8, 2024, 7:48 AM

#

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

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:48 AM

#

But it makes a noise every time text appears

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:48 AM

#

But when it finishes the screengui will disappear so if i was you i'd add like a 1s wait or sm

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:49 AM

#

?

velvet merlin Aug 8, 2024, 7:49 AM

#

Anyways here is it

#

local say = {"You are now breathing manually"}
local opened = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if plr then --if plr is not nil (doesn't exist) then it will continue
        if not opened then --basically opened == false
            opened = true --if the player hits the part again it won't open the gui, so it wont glitch
            plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = true
            for i, v in pairs(say) do
                for i = 1, string.len(v) do wait(0.045)
                    plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = string.sub(v, 1, i)
                    script.Dia:Play()
                end
                wait(string.len(v) / 10)
            end
            plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = false
            plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = (" ")
        else return end --if it's opened then the script will stop
    end
end)

if you want it to be able to be opened then you can add a opened = false at the end of the "if not opened then" scope

bleak gale Aug 8, 2024, 7:52 AM
