lowkey need help with hunger system

[visual rapids]

stamina and hunger are functional and implemented, but my problem is I'm trying to make it so that hunger drains faster when you're running but that hasnt been working out, do i need to add a new value or is something wrong?

at first i tried to make it so that if isRunning = true the drain rate would be twice as fast, is it conflicting with with the sprint and stamina handler?

heres the values script that creates the values when a players join

lowkey need help with hunger system

[mellow sparrow]

In ServerScriptService, create a Script called PlayerStats:

lua
Copy
Edit
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player

local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
coins.Name = "Coins"
coins.Value = 0
coins.Parent = leaderstats

-- Hunger Stat
local hunger = Instance.new("IntValue")
hunger.Name = "Hunger"
hunger.Value = 100 -- Full hunger
hunger.Parent = leaderstats

end)

Still in ServerScriptService, make another Script called HungerSystem:

lua
Copy
Edit
local players = game:GetService("Players")

while true do
wait(10) -- every 10 seconds

for _, player in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
    local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
    if stats then
        local hunger = stats:FindFirstChild("Hunger")
        if hunger then
            hunger.Value = hunger.Value - 1 -- lose 1 hunger

            -- If Hunger <= 0, damage player
            if hunger.Value <= 0 then
                hunger.Value = 0 -- don't go negative
                if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
                    player.Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(5) -- 5 damage every 10s
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

end

3. Make a Hunger GUI
   In StarterGui, create a new ScreenGui called HungerGui, and inside it add a TextLabel:

ScreenGui (HungerGui)

TextLabel (HungerText)

Settings for the TextLabel:

Text: Hunger: 100

Position: {0, 20}, {0, 80}

Size: {0, 200}, {0, 50}

BackgroundTransparency: 1

TextScaled: true

(You can customize the font/color if you want!)

Inside the HungerText, add a LocalScript:

lua
Copy
Edit
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local hunger = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Hunger")

local textLabel = script.Parent

hunger.Changed:Connect(function()
textLabel.Text = "Hunger: " .. hunger.Value
end)

textLabel.Text = "Hunger: " .. hunger.Value

this doesnt really solve my issue

[mellow sparrow]

whats ur issue

[visual rapids]

im just trying to make it so that while the isRunning boolean value is true (or in non coding terms, the player is running) hunger drains faster

you would know if you read it

its all functional, ive just had a hard time adding that mechanic to the hunger system

[visual rapids]

im replacing some code with module script stuff

so that all values are represented as variables from a module script

[little warren]

i like the part where if your hunger hits 0, you are guaranteed to die even if you eat something after hunger hits 0

[visual rapids]

😳 ... gosh

bro i gotta learn how to fix stuff like that,

maybe make it a function and do a return statement if suddenly the hunger bar increases

functions and parameters still trip me out when it comes to where i have to use them and how i even implement them

[visual rapids]

i simply made it a while statement, will that fix it (i havent added a food item yet so i cant test it out)

[short orchid]

ye you could just fix it but adding another condition to the repeat until loop

repeat
---blah blah blah
until hunger > 0 or humanoid.Health == 0

[visual rapids]

how so?

oh

[short orchid]

ye no need for extra stuff

also

if your hunger ever runs out

your draining system will stop working

the player will need to be reset

[visual rapids]

okay thanks

ill try to figure it out with functions?

[short orchid]

no need really you can just do

while task.wait(40) do
  if hunger > 0 then hunger -= 1 end
end

as for how you would go about the health draining

first of all your not using your running value properly, your just setting it to a bool true

what you should be doing is

local isRunning = RunningValue
--Then update it like this
isRunning.Value = true
isRunning.Value = false

back to the actually doing the draining while running, you can just check in the main drain script if the player is running, and continue if so

and in your running script you could do a function

which would decrease the hunger of the player every like 10 seconds instead or something

repeat 
  hunger -= 10
until task.wait(10) and isRunning

Overall, you do not need to spam function in your code unless your gonna use that code more than one time throughout your script, or your gonna use module's to organize, so basically instead of having a 1000 line script you can just divide its components into functions in modules

@visual rapids anything else you need mate?

[visual rapids]

ill notify you

[signal stratus]

** You are now Level 6! **

[short orchid]

sounds good, good luck

[short orchid]

and what I mean by continue here is this

while true do 
  if something then continue end
  --Continuing will skip the iteration of the while loop
end

[visual rapids]

ive got a question/questions, where do i place any of this code?. i'd feel bad if you had to become hand holdy for this

im gonna code a simple food item so i can experiment better

[short orchid]

this is just changing the variable

[short orchid]

this is your main hunger

[short orchid]

And here well, I'd also like to say that you need to put it in a coroutine or wrap it in a task.spawn

because as you may already know, while loops stop the code after them till, a condition is met

so what task.spawn does and this is a bit of a simplification is that it allows the while loop to run, while letting the other code work as well

[visual rapids]

god i suck at coding i cant do this for shit

i made a simple apple that works all but updating the hunger value to go up by 5

whatever the problem with the isrunning variable is probably the same thing going on with this..

and i still have no fucking clue what the problem is

[midnight glade]

Cuz yo scripts are AI generated

[visual rapids]

No not really

I’ve been looking at a lot of stuff online

Albeit my friend did help with the code of the stamina

[midnight glade]

Your friend ?

Where did you find the code ?

Nah it aint important

But why should we fix a code that is not entirely yours ?

[short orchid]

why did you even text here

if you ain't helping

then leave

[midnight glade]

To ask a question

I don’t want to waste my time helping if the code is not from him

When you help your goal should not necessarily making the OP’s script work but making them actually learn

[short orchid]

then did you even chat here in the first place 🤦‍♂️

[midnight glade]

Because I might have the intention to help.

[short orchid]

Bro your contradicting yourself, you say you have no intention of helping because the code is not written by him, and then you say you might have the intention to help, like tf are you on about

[midnight glade]

I said I’d not help if the code was not written by him

I just want to know if it’s his code

[short orchid]

And how is that any of your bussiness, and in any case, since you want him to learn, why don't you explain the code to him?

Everybody uses other people's code all the time

I use it now and then, you probably use it now and then, the hundred's of games which depend on Profile store for their datastores

[midnight glade]

I’ll answer to that because it’s pretty interesting

I never use pieces of codes that are not mine

Not even profilestore, fastcast, etc.

I make my systems myself

From scratch

[short orchid]

Never asked

and your going of the topic

You not using other people's script doesn't make you the best at scripting, some people just like to save some times and be more effecient

If in your case you write your scripts from scratch then good for you, but just know that doesn't make you any better than me or any other person really, especially if your systems are shit

and not reusable

[midnight glade]

@visual rapids

Do you know what is a parameter ?

[visual rapids]

Yeah

I haven’t used them super often

[midnight glade]

In CharacterAdded

You have a parameter

And it’s the Character

So you can do

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
print(Character.Name)
end)

[visual rapids]

Hm

I have been coding for barely under a month so yeah

I’m glad I can make a stamina system and generally I’ve been soaking up as much coding information as I can

Like a sponge

[midnight glade]

Where is the HungerDrainHandler script located ?

Inside of StarterPlayerScripts or the StarterCharacterScripts

[visual rapids]

Starter player
